WHAT DOES DRUG ADDICTION MEAN ?
DRUGS
In Drugs Addiction, Drugs refer to substances that are used to diagnose, treat, prevent, or alleviate symptoms of a disease or condition.
ADDICTION
“Addiction is a chronic condition.” There are two main forms of addiction :-
- Substance use Disorders :- The term substance use disorder (SUD) is used to describe a condition in which an individual becomes dependent on or addicted to a substance.
- Behavioral Addictions :- The term Behavioral addiction refers to a compulsion to engage in a particular behavior repeatedly, despite the negative consequences it may cause in a person’s life.
CAUSES OF ADDICTION
Doctors at Nasha Mukti Kendra explain that addiction does not stem from a single cause; instead, it is a highly complex condition. One important factor in the development of addiction is the changes it causes in brain chemistry. Additionally, mental health conditions significantly contribute to the onset of addiction. There is a strong connection between addiction and mental health disorders such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder. In fact, approximately half of individuals with a mental health condition also experience a substance use disorder (SUD), and vice versa.
Furthermore, environmental factors increase the risk of addiction. A key risk factor is the availability of substances. For example, factors that raise the likelihood of exposure and the opportunity for substance use include living with a household member or peers who use substances or being prescribed medications prone to misuse, such as opioids or stimulants.
CONSUMING METHOD
There are several methods of consuming drugs by history of patients of Vyasan Mukti Centre:
Tablets are taken orally
Injectable solutions are administered intravenously or intramuscularly
Lozenges or lollipops are dissolved in the mouth
Nasal sprays are inhaled through the nose
CONSEQUENCES OF ADDICTION
Physical Health Consequences
- Organ Damage: Chronic substance abuse, such as alcohol, drugs, or smoking, can lead to severe organ damage. For example, alcohol abuse can damage the liver, while opioids can harm the respiratory system.
- Increased Risk of Diseases: Addictive behaviors can increase the risk of developing life-threatening diseases such as:
- Liver disease (from alcohol)
- Cancer (from smoking, alcohol, or drug use)
- Cardiovascular disease (from tobacco, alcohol, and drug use)
- Lung disease (from smoking and vaping)
- HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis C (from sharing needles in drug use)
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Hormonal imbalances
- Overdose and Death:Drug and alcohol addiction can lead to overdose, particularly with substances like opioids, heroin, or cocaine. As a result, overdose can cause severe health complications and, in some cases, even be fatal. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the dangers of addiction and take steps to seek help before it reaches a life-threatening point.
Emotional and Psychological Consequences
- Shame and Guilt: People with addiction often feel deep shame and guilt about their behavior, and as a result, they can experience low self-esteem, self-blame, and emotional pain.
- Isolation:Addiction can cause emotional withdrawal, whereas individuals often distance themselves from friends, family, and social networks due to shame, secrecy, or an obsession with the addictive behavior.
Financial Consequences
- Financial Ruin: Addiction, especially to substances like drugs or alcohol, causes significant financial problems. Consequently, people often spend large amounts of money to feed their addiction, which in turn leads to debt, loss of savings, and overall financial instability.
Behavioral Consequences
- Criminal Behavior: Some individuals turn to illegal activities, such as theft, fraud, or violence, to support their addiction. This behavior is especially common with substances like heroin, cocaine, or alcohol, as the need to feed the addiction often drives individuals to desperate measures.
Mental Health Consequences
- Mental Illness: Addiction can contribute to or worsen existing mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. In addition, it can also lead to new mental health issues, such as paranoia, hallucinations, and cognitive impairment.
- Increased Risk of Suicide: Individuals with addiction are at an elevated risk of suicidal thoughts and actions, primarily due to feelings of hopelessness, despair, and emotional numbness associated with substance abuse or behavioral addiction.
Social Consequences
- Divorce and Family Breakdown: In many cases, addiction causes marital problems, divorce, and the breakdown of family units. This happens because spouses or family members often struggle to cope with the behavior or consequences of addiction, which in turn further strains relationships and support systems.
