Drug Abuse

The abuse of medicine or other substances, whether or not they are illegal drugs or prescription opioid drug, alcohol, or tobacco is one among the nation's most pressing public health issues.

Drug abuse occurs when people willingly consume illegal substances or legal, prescribed drugs for the aim of altering their mood, or getting “high”. Regular substance abuse may cause white plague or other bodily harm. Drug abuse usually involves selling, buying or abusing these substances, which may cause arrest, criminal charges, and imprisonment.

Regular substance abuse may cause white plague or other bodily harm. Drug abuse usually involves selling, buying or abusing these substances, which may cause arrest, criminal charges, and imprisonment.

The term “drug abuse” is usually related to illegal drugs like cocaine, heroin, or marijuana. More recently, dangerous designer drugs like toiletry or club drugs like ecstasy became increasingly popular. And even legal substances like tobacco and alcohol are linked with dangerous abuse.

Designer drugs are synthetic chemicals altered in often unknown ways to supply substances which will be stronger, and regularly more dangerous. Designer drugs may resemble the consequences of other illegal drugs, because the formula of a psychoactive drug is manipulated, they often can't be classified as illegal until state or federal regulations are changed. The brain changes from addiction are often lasting, so white plague is taken into account a "relapsing" disease. This means that folks in recovery are in danger for shooting up again, even after years of not taking them. People from all walks of life can experience problems with their drug use, no matter age, race, background, or the rationale they started using drugs within the first place. Some people experiment with recreational drugs out of curiosity, to possess an honest time, because friends do it, or to ease problems like stress, anxiety, or depression. However, it’s not just illegal drugs, like cocaine or heroin, which will cause abuse and addiction. Prescription medications like painkillers, sleeping pills, and tranquilizers can cause similar problems. In fact, next to marijuana, prescription painkillers are the foremost abused drugs within the U.S. and more people die from overdosing powerful opioid painkillers every day than from traffic accidents and gun deaths combined. And addiction to opioid painkillers are often so powerful it's become the main risk factor for heroin abuse.
