UNDERSTANDING DRUG ADDICTION

Substance dependence is a complicated disease. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse fact sheet, “Understanding Drug Abuse and Addiction,”

Addiction is a chronic, often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences to the addicted individual and to those around him or her. Although the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary for most people, the brain changes that occur over time challenge a person’s self control and ability to resist intense impulses urging them to take drugs (NIDA, March 2011).

NIDA further states that brain imaging studies of people with a drug addiction show that their brains are changed in areas in which acute procedures are prepared. The following areas of your mind are affected:

• Judgment
• Decision making
• Learning
• Memory
• Behavior control (NIDA)

That is one reason why people with a drug addiction, such as a meth need, continue to abuse drugs even when they are experiencing dire consequences in all areas of their lives, including their health, relationships, finances, and employment.

NIDA estimates that the cost of substance abuse in America, including productivity and health- and crime-related costs, exceeds $600 billion annually (NIDA). Anyone who has experienced a drug addiction or other addiction in the family understands the financial havoc that can occur in an addict’s life.
