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 .
