As a result of short regular (and sometimes even once) drug use, certain medications develop drug and substance abuse. Their effects are incredibly harmful and are of a severe nature. First of all, suffers the brain. The internal organs, nervous system are vulnerable to various diseases that can even take life of the addict. Soon begins and the destruction of personality from a spiritual point of view. The mentality has changed, and this entails the development of selfishness and callousness, lost the ability to adequately evaluate their actions. The person becomes asocial, he does not aspire to full life, and more degraded.

Allocate the basic signs of substance abuse that occur in all people with this diagnosis. First, it is – mental dependence. The value system collapses, life goals first, go by the wayside, and then become unnecessary. Every day the addict wakes up with the thought of where to get a new batch of drugs – for this he lives. Second – of physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms – the phenomenon that drugs destroy the body's enzymes and hormones responsible for natural pain relief. Break-up – painful sensations, and in order to get rid of them, drug addicts are the most desperate and terrible acts. Thirdly – is changing the feeling of taking the drug. It does not cause the same euphoria and joy. The drug only helps to numb the pain from withdrawal. If to abandon the use of narcotic substances the person is no longer able – physical suffering is very strong. Only few were able to say “no” to survive a few days without the drug. Even harder then not return to it again…
