Drug Abuse

Drug abuse is the non-medical use of a drug that interferes with a healthy and productive life. Drug

abuse occurs at all economic levels of society, from the wealthy to the impoverished, and among the

young people as well as adults. Many young people begin to use drugs or alcohol to experiment with

the pleasurable effects of drugs, to fit in with peers, or to try on adult roles and behavior. Most

people who experience with drugs or alcohol do not become addicted. When a person becomes

dependent, the drug becomes so rewarding that it may drive the user to continue taking it despite

harmful medical or social consequences.
