Drug Abuse

Drug addiction is the other name of drug dependence. Drug dependence means that a person needs to consume drugs to work and function properly. A person who consumes drugs regularly cannot leave it at once as this will rise up the withdrawal symptoms. Drug addiction is basically a regular use of drugs even after knowing the bad and the adverse effects of that drug. A person can also be just physically dependent on any substance without having proper addiction to it.

There are many problems that are caused by the addiction of various drugs. Those problems are highly harmful and can even cause deadly results. Some of the major problems are clouded mental function or disturbed mental function, slowed heart rate and respiration level, arthritis, clogged blood vessels, collapsed veins, liver and various kidney problems, bacterial and fungal infections in blood vessels and heart valves.

Heroin is one of the most addictive drugs that are very much popular amongst the teens. The other names for heroin are smack, skag and junk. This drug is basically a synthetic drug which is processed from morphine. It is generally in the form of a white or brown colored powder. There are lot many dealers that provide pure form of heroin but there are some street dealers also that provide heroin mixed with other drugs, poisonous substances, sugar, starch or milk powder etc.

Tolerance capability of any drug is basically the addiction of that drug. Drug tolerance increases with the gradual and continuous intake of that drug and by increasing the intake in small amounts after every couple of days because an addicted body demands it. Some people use drugs as a pain relief as they seem to feel better from any pain by consuming a particular drug. This happens generally with the people who have any addiction background.

Addiction to any drug is dangerous but the heroin addiction is the most dangerous addiction. The major problem which is faced in the heroin addiction is that the addicted youth due to no experience cannot even find out whether they are consuming the pure form of drug or not. The impure drug is more dangerous for the kids.
