Serious Common Addictions

2. Drugs

Drug addictions develop when a person becomes dependent on a specific drug to maintain a certain mental or physical state. A drug addiction can come in many forms. Whether it is painkillers, heroin, cocaine, or countless others, drugs become all consuming, causing many issues and struggles as far as maintaining a stable life.

An addiction of this kind can easily destroy a person’s life. When one becomes obsessed with obtaining a certain substance, he or she will find their close friends and family are put to the side and getting a fix will become the number one priority. This will cause strain on personal relationships, as well as increased health risks and financial struggles.
