Harmful Effects of Drugs and Available Treatment Options
■ Drug addiction can ruin your life, and it is never easy to undo things you may have done while being addicted. It affects you both mentally and physically; in fact, you will not be the same person you once were. There certainly are some good treatment options available, but once you abuse drugs for a long time, even an outpatient addiction treatment may not prove that effective, unless of course you are committed to change your life. You have to take control of your life and know that what you might have started as fun can hurt you in the long-run.
■ The effects of drugs usually depend on a number of factors. For instance, it depends on how the drug has been made in the first place. You need to understand that drug making is not a regulated industry, so you may notice a vast difference in quality in different batches of the same drug. Moreover, you may experience serious side effects because most of these drugs are manufactured in home labs, so they are likely to contain dangerous chemicals, bacteria, and other harmful substances. An overdose of one such drug can cause brain damage or death.
