Here’s what you need to know about drug addiction:
The main problem behind drug addiction is dependency. At first, people can still function without the substance. Over time, though, the body gets used to drugs. This changes the way the body reacts to drugs. It takes a higher dose to get high, for one thing. That encourages addicts to keep using, and at much larger quantities—increasing the risk of overdose and other complications. As the addict continues using, his or her body becomes dependent on the drug. This means that the body sees drugs as equally important to food or water.
Dependency is the hallmark of addiction. Once an addict is dependent, it’s nearly impossible to stop. The body causes intense withdrawal symptoms that make detox painful. Most addicts give up before they’ve even finished detoxing.
Any drug that changes the way you think and feel can become addictive. Right now, opioids are the leading cause of drug addiction. That includes legal opioids such as morphine and fentanyl, as well as illegal opioids such as heroin. This doesn’t mean that these are the most addictive drugs—just that they are currently driving the addiction and overdose rate. In the 1980s, it was crack cocaine.
So, the most important factor isn’t a specific drug. Some people are more vulnerable to addiction than others. The risk factors for addiction include:
The more risk factors a person has, the more vulnerable they are. The most significant risk factor, however, is drug use. Any person who uses drugs long enough and frequently enough will become an addict.
Detox is the first step on the long path toward sobriety. During detox, the drugs leave your body. This enables you to begin thinking clearly again, and to begin healing from the damage drugs have caused. Because the body fights the removal of the drugs, however, detox is also notoriously painful. It’s common to experience mood swings, physical pain, stomach issues, a sense of hopelessness, and irresistible drug cravings.
The good news is that these symptoms go away in a few days. Once they do, your journey can become easier. But because you might forget the pain of detox, you might also forget how hard it is to get sober—causing you to use again. That’s why it’s so important to get support beyond detox.
