Drug Addiction Facts
In recent years, over 8 million Americans aged 12 or older reported driving while under the influence of illegal drugs.

The average addict “self medicates” a physical, emotional, spiritual hurt with drugs he/she has not been able to deal with in a healthy manner.

Physical addiction is characterized by the presence of tolerance (needing more and more of the drug to achieve the same effect).

Social circumstances are important in drug abuse. Peer pressure, emotional distress and low self-esteem can all lead individuals to abuse drugs. Ease of access to drugs is another influence.
