According to a recent national poll, nearly 40 percent of Americans know someone with a substance abuse problem.1 Although this number is unprecedented, many people are largely uneducated when it comes to the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and consequences of recreational drug use can increase the number of people getting the help they need.
Specific Drugs, Specific Risks
While experts agree that all addictive substances can cause damage, the drugs of choice, how they are used, and how they interact with each other increases the overall risk. For example, someone who chooses cocaine is opting for a substance that can seal off blood vessels, resulting in structural tissues in the nose and head to die away. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, those who choose marijuana can alter brain chemistry so severely they experience the following:
- Lowered sense of life satisfaction
- Increased tardiness at work and poor performance
- Relationship difficulties
- Reduced sense of motivation
- Increased risk of heart attack
- Lower IQ levels2
Any misuse or abuse of a drug has some effect on mood, cognition and physical health. Sometimes, the problems last only as long as the person remains high, fading away as sobriety approaches. In some cases, the damage left behind is permanent.
While many of the physical and emotional problems associated with drugs are specific to the type of substance used, there are some problems that seem to be universal. Among those risks, drug overdose is the most dangerous. Along with altering brain chemistry, the physical changes caused by substance abuse can cause irreparable damage to the body’s vital organs. For example, sedatives like Vicodin impact the body’s ability to breathe properly. Taken in larger doses than prescribed by a physician, Vicodin can cause users to fall into a deep sleep and stop breathing. Stimulants, on the other hand, may speed up the body’s systems to such a degree the person abusing the drug might collapse due to heat exhaustion or heart failure.People who take drugs rarely want to overdose. In fact, the National Center for Health Statistics suggests that 74 percent of overdoses due to prescription drugs are accidental.3 But chasing a high means taking in larger doses of drugs, and that means coming closer an amount that results in death.
While many of the problems people face due to drug addiction are personal and private, there are some issues that are more far-reaching. Addictive drugs are often sold illegally, putting the people who buy them at an increased risk of arrest and incarceration. Repeat offenses can lead to lengthy jail time, and parents of young children may see their parental rights taken away as a result. When they emerge from jail with a record, it may be impossible to get a job or find safe housing. Because of this, drug abuse is also one of America’s major causes of homelessness.4Feelings of isolation might deepen and grow when people with addictions realize that the community surrounding them doesn’t understand. Even though experts know that addictions begin with brain chemistry, leading to alterations that make impulse control difficult or impossible, people in the community might still associate those who struggle with:- Laziness
- Weakness
- Stupidity
- Lack of education
Just admitting that you or a loved one struggles with addiction can often lead to serious social rejection. If this happens, the person struggling might feel as though getting better just isn’t possible. This can seriously delay getting the proper treatment.
