Causes Of Drug Addiction And Alcoholism
Drug addiction and alcoholism harm relationships, destroy reason, affect performance at school or work, cause a person to commit crimes, wastes a lot of money, and is a main cause of major social problems. Thankfully, these ailments can be solved by counseling, emotional support, and rehabilitation in drug and alcohol rehab centers.
But what exactly causes drug addiction or alcoholism? Research has shown that there are various risk factors involved:
1. Genetic or Inherited
If your father and mother were or are addicts or alcoholics, you may be more susceptible to these vices. That is because you might have inherited their chemical characteristics, including their dependency on drugs and alcohol. This is the reason addiction and alcoholism are more prevalent in some families than in others.
2. Curiosity
Some individuals have personalities that are characterized by curiosity, daring, adventure, and a need to explore. The triumph of discovering something gives them a feeling of bliss and satisfaction. The spirit, will, and need to experiment to see what happens may be a factor why people attempt to use drugs and alcohol.
3. Peer and Social Pressure
All people have the need to have relationships. While relationships are necessary things, they can sometimes cause people to give in to something that should be avoided. That's because as normal individuals, they want to maintain those relationships or be able to fit in to a certain group. Peer or social pressure, as a cause for drug addiction or alcoholism, is very strong during pre-teen and adolescent years.
4. Easy Access
If you reside in an area where drugs and alcohol can conveniently be bought or obtained, then you are more exposed to addiction. Examples of such places are the ghettos, the areas near schools, and remote job sites. But these substances can also be found in classy shopping centers, inside factories, or even in corporate offices.
5. Personal Problems And Depression
Often, individuals take drugs or alcohol to temporarily feel good physically and emotionally, or to numb the pain of a sad and hurtful experience. This happens when they have money and personal problems, when they are in the middle of a breakup, when they feel unaccepted, etc.
