Drug Addiction Resources

Drug addiction is a serious condition whereby a drug user will first experiment with drugs and will enjoy the inevitable ‘highs’ they experience. However, as they continue to take their drug of choice they will develop a chemical dependency and eventually they develop a tolerance and will need more and more of the substance to achieve their desired effect. As time passes, the drug addict will continue to take the drug despite the harmful consequences.

Cannabis, marijuana and hashish are the most widely abused drugs in the world, followed by amphetamines, cocaine, heroin and opioids. People from all walks of life and age groups become addicted to drugs and there are many different types of substance abuse. When an addict tries to stop taking drugs, the withdrawal symptoms are usually so severe that they start taking the drugs again just to feel ‘normal’.

Recovery is possible with the right help and support as follows:

A GP can prescribe medication to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
An addiction counsellor can provide advice and support.
Recovery & rehabilitation centres teach addicts how to live without drugs.
Meetings in the community for a variety of substances.

It is possible to become drug-free, but it takes hard work, dedication and determination, alongside support from medical practitioners and addiction experts.
