How a Person Gets Addicted to Drugs

Drug addiction is one of the major health destroyers all over the world. Many people are getting addicted to harmful drugs and spoiling their entire lives. Many people know the harmful effects of the drugs, but still many people are initiating and continuing the drug use. What makes a person to use at first time and become an addict later?

Generally people who use the drugs for the first time think that they can control the habit. They try drugs as an experiment or due to curiosity. Peer pressure is one of the important factors that make people, particularly teens vulnerable.

At first they may observe the so-called positive effects of drug use. They seem to enjoy the pleasurable activities. But over some time, if they continue the drug use, the same pleasurable activities become common and for them to feel normal drug abuse becomes necessary. They soon become so addict that they will not care about the values and beliefs. For them drug abuse becomes highest priority. They can’t be normal unless they abuse drugs. They completely depend on drugs and become drug addicts.

Addiction is a disease associated with brain disease where a person becomes uncontrollable seeking drugs despite of the harmful consequences of abuse.
