A drug addict is someone that is dependent on a substance or substances. Addiction to alcohol and /or other drugs can be the result of many things.
One may try drugs to experience the “buzz”, escape their problems, make them self feel more confident or even just as a social sideline activity. The problem is that there is a very fine line between occasional drug use and drug addiction…a line that is only realised when someone has already crossed over. Drug treatment is often necessary in order to assist someone to live a normal and addiction free life again.
Deciding to quit drugs is not easy and many addicts are often forced by their friends and family members to attend a rehabilitation program. The fact of the matter is that many drug addicts are in denial and refuse assistance with their problem even though they may be somewhat aware of the negative physical, emotional and mental effects that their chosen substance may be having on them.
The following drugs are amongst those that addicts are commonly found to abuse:
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Solvents such as aerosols, glue, nail varnish, lighter fluid and petrol
- Opium
- LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide)
- Psychedelic mushrooms
- Barbiturates
- Amphetamines
- Ecstasy (also called MDMA)
- Cannabis (also called Weed)
- Alcohol
