WHAT'S SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Substance abuse is the repetitive and unnecessary use of any harmful substance, such as drugs or alcohol. Substances can be illegal, such as prescription drugs or illicit substances; abuse can start when it is not used correctly, exceeding the recommended dose.
It is essential to clarify that any substance’s excessive consumption, although on paper, seems harmless. It is harmful to our health because our body works in the wrong way. Falling into excess will make the bodywork in a forced way, leading to illness or pain.
HOW IS SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATED?
Substance abuse leads to many problems over time, both physically and emotionally. It is difficult to get out of any substance’s involuntary consumption, be it alcohol or any drug; however, it is possible. The earlier this addictive behavior is detected, the greater the effectiveness of the treatment.
The purpose of the treatment will be to help the person eliminate the behavior that leads to compulsive and involuntary use of the substance. The different treatments can vary in many ways, either from the functioning or the period of time required
This type of addictive behavior should preferably be treated in the long term since the disorder is characterized by occasional relapses that can harm the entire process, which is why a long-term plan should be made with constant supervision.
THE USE OF ELECTRIC VAPERS CAN BE CONSIDERED SUBSTANCE ABUSE?
This product has become very popular in recent years, especially in adolescents and young adults. These devices work with batteries and use heat to turn a liquid into a vapor that can be inhaled. This liquid usually contains nicotine (an active ingredient in tobacco) or tetrahydrocannabinol (an active ingredient in marijuana).
These types of products produce different chemical effects that can cause lung injuries so sudden that they can become severe and fatal. Electric cigarettes are nowadays the first contact between nicotine and many teenagers. Knowing that nicotine is highly addictive, we can affirm that electric cigarettes’ excessive use can bring many problems, including addictive behavior.
HOW DOES SUBSTANCE ABUSE AFFECT OUR BEHAVIOR?
The abuse of harmful substances to the human body, such as drugs or alcohol, directly affects the brain and its nervous system, which also affects our emotions and behavior. It is prevalent for people with addiction problems to have very aggressive or depressive behaviors derived from family, psychological, work or anxiety problems.
These affections to emotions and behavior harm the person suffering from drug addiction and hurt their family circle, friends, and close people. That is why the treatment to get out of the addictive behavior is of utmost importance for both parties, significantly to recover the person’s happiness.
CAN SUBSTANCE ABUSE BE TREATED?
Substance abuse and addiction can be treated effectively. However, it is not easy, and it is a process that can take time.
