About
Drug abuse is maybe intentional or unintentional use of drugs with harmful consequences.
Drugs can affect behaviour by altering mood, consciousness, and social functioning.
Drug abuse includes misuse of prescription medicines and addiction to other substances.
Drug abuse is a major health problem.
It produces adverse physical, psychological, and social effects that can be lethal.
Drug abuse may begin with experiments or occassional use of drugs to feel good, relax or fit in.
People who try drugs frequently develop problems with them.
They increase the amount of drug they consume and may use drugs compulsively.
Drug abuse can cause substantial health and social problems for individuals, families and communities. It is associated with a variety of health problems, including abscesses [pus-producing infections], anorexia, respiratory infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis [TB], sexually transmitted diseases, heart disease and stroke.
Most smokers in the U.S use tobacco products, this is a contributory factor to lung cancer, other cancers and cardiovascular disease.
Drug abuse is also associated with violent crime and gun violence, as well as unemployment and poverty.
If they live in poverty, drug users and their families are less likely to have access to health care, decent housing, jobs and good schools.
This limits the potential of family members to contribute to society and achieve self-sufficiency.
