Are you suffering from drug abuse or know someone who is? The effects of drugs can take a toll on the abuser and the family and friends around them. There are ways to identify the symptoms of drug abuse and ways to cure the addiction. It may seem tough and for some it is a long road ahead, but it can be beat.
Effects of Drug Abuse and Addiction
The symptoms of drug abuse can be felt physically, emotionally, and externally.
A person who is going through the addiction may not realize how much they are affecting their health, family, or work.
A person addicted to drugs may be exposing themselves to the risk of infectious diseases like HIV and Hepatitis B through the use of shared needles. Health problems such as lung disease, brain damage, liver disease, lung disease and death from overdose can occur in heavy drug use.
The substance abuser may feel a lack in productivity at work causing their work to suffer and potential job loss. Sometimes this can result in homelessness which has become a factor for many drug users. Out of desperation the abuser may turn to criminal activity to feed their habit.
Some common symptoms that are felt with drug addiction involve:
Poor Coordination Drowsiness Hallucination Confusion Disorientation Loss of Memory Nausea Red Eyes Irritability and Restlessness Violent Behaviour Consistent Cravings For Drugs Unable to Quit Drug Use on Own Lack of Sleep or excessive sleep Sudden Fluctuation in Weight
Unfortunately some abusers will deny that they have a problem and rationalize the drug use.
There are alternative ways to cure the addiction naturally and safely. Herbal remedies, meditation methods and acupuncture techniques will significantly help.
