Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is a serious public health
problem that affects almost every community and family in some way.
Each year drug abuse results in around 40
million serious illnesses or injuries among people in the United
States. Abused drugs include:
- Amphetamines
- Anabolic steroids
- Club drugs
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Inhalants
- Marijuana
- Prescription drugs
Drug abuse also plays a role in many
major social problems, such as drugged driving, violence, stress
and child abuse. Drug abuse can lead to
homelessness, crime and missed work or problems with keeping a job.
It harms unborn babies and destroys families. There are different
types of treatment for drug abuse. But the
best is to prevent drug abuse in the first
place.
