Drug addiction does not discriminate. It does not care if you are rich or poor, famous or unknown. It affects men and women alike. It does not matter what race or age you are.
Many people can relate first hand to the effects of the drug epidemic in America, and parents are crying out with pleas of help. Drug abuse can hurt everyone close to the person. This includes husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, babies, family members, and friends.
Drug addiction doesn’t only hurt the user, but everyone else connected to him or her also. Substance abuse and addiction is an extremely serious problem for many people.
The 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that more than 23 million people needed help for substance abuse. This occurred in the year before researchers conducted the survey.
However, only 2.5 million received drug treatment. Even more staggering 21.5 million of them reported that they saw no need to seek help. This figure suggests that many people are in denial about the severity of their substance abuse.
