When it comes to substance
abuse, it can be difficult to place blame on any one factor. However, some
factors are often repeated so regularly they form patters of behavioral,
emotional and biological reasons for the abuse. In this entry, we will discuss
some of the more common reasons people fall into the grips of substance abuse.
Curiosity
Humans are curious creatures by
nature. As such, it’s no wonder that many people often base their initial use
on curiosity. Once the user discovers the euphoric effects of the substance,
the abuse cycle takes hold – typically in young adults and teenagers.
Low Self Esteem
A great number of people begin
dabbling with drugs early in life in an attempt to fit in with peers. Those who
lack a social confidence in themselves are often more prone to drug use as a
means of gaining acceptance.
Tolerance
Drug tolerance is developed once
a user requires an excess amount of the same substance in order to achieve the
same level of intoxication reached previously with less of the same drug. As a
result, the user may begin using larger amounts of the substance, and using
more frequently, in an attempt to enjoy the satisfaction level experienced
previously.
A Change In Motive
Some addicts start out using
prescription medications to address pain, gradually becoming emotionally and
physically dependent over time. These types of addicts are typically law
abiding, hard working citizens who grew into their addictions accidentally.
Hereditary
The term “Family Disease” is
often used when discussing addiction causes due to the available evidence
suggesting that hereditary factors play a role in which people will become
addicts and alcoholics, and which will remain social drinkers or recreational
users. Studies show a strong tendency for the offspring of addicts, or
alcoholics, to also become addicted to alcohol and drugs.
Need Help?
I never thought it would be hereditary! Wow! That actually makes so much sense. My cousin is an alcoholic and so is her mother! But they are currently both getting help :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was still young, I am always told by my parents that everything that exceeds limitation is bad. I guess, at this point, I fully understand what they were trying to tell me. Drug addiction is not new to my ears. There are a lot of people that I know who had taken a while for recovery. Let's think many times before going into something.

ReplyDeleteBy giving addicts their own managed spot to live, Florida drug rehabs offer a significant assistance that other treatment habitats can't. They power addicts to deal with themselves and their living space. Each fiend must finish their tasks, cause their own food, to do their clothing, and so forth. They should likewise spending plan and purchase their own food supplies. Cleaning, cooking, and doing clothing are on the whole significant fundamental abilities. Non-addicts regularly underestimate them. Be that as it may, they are basic for addicts to learn so as to carry on with life after a Florida drug rehab. Before rehab, most addicts have barely any fundamental abilities to discuss. Enslavement has denied them of any thoughts of obligation or independence. They can't really carry on with prosperous lives without learning these crucial aptitudes.
