The Effects of Drugs
As drug addiction becomes established there are changes in the brain. These neurochemical changes affect a person’s self-control and decision-making processes.
There is a strong impulse to continue taking drugs despite the harm that drug use is causing.
Drugs and Denial
When people are addicted to drugs they are usually in denial about their addiction and unwilling to get help for their drug addiction. They do not see that they are addicted and often blame those around them for the problems that have arisen from their drug abuse.
