Drugs, what are they?
Addicts use drugs and/or alcohol to change the way they feel; often times they are used as a coping tool when things in the addicts life become too overwhelming they will escape into drug use. Drugs are substances that when taken have the ability to alter the persons mood, chemical balance of the brain and the addicts perception of reality. If too much of a drug is ingested it has the potential to produce unwanted and/or dangerous side affects. The facts are that overdoses occur everyday and drugs kill. There are some drugs that are taken out of necessity, these drugs are used to supply the body with substances the body no longer produces. Drugs, if taken to excess, can lead to physical as well as emotional or physiological dependency.

Addiction, what constitutes addiction?
There is a lot of controversy as to whether a person is genetically or biochemically predisposed to addiction or alcoholism, this is a subject that has been debated for years within the rehabilitation and scientific community. The "disease concept" is one school of thought, embracing the idea that addiction is a disease that is inherited, "it runs in our family," is a common belief.
Addiction is a learned behavior, no one ever intends on becoming an addict, it is a consequence of drug and/or alcohol use. There is an invisible line, that when crossed is hard to get back to the other side. There are good drug and/or alcohol treatment centers that can help end the cycle of addictive behaviors and can rehabilitate a person giving them tools to manage their lives with the use of mind altering substances.

How Do Drugs Affect The Mind?
The mind is our most important tool, we use it we solve the problems we face in life and to make decisions that are pro-survival. Drugs do several things that harm one’s ability to be fully aware of the present surroundings or to think clearly. Just because a person stops using drugs and/or alcohol does not mean the side effects of the drugs stop.

There are no absolutes with addiction and there are many different opinions on how to treat addiction. On a national average only 16% to 20% of people who are addicted, regardless of the drug, "recover".
