Measures to prevent drug addiction

The best way to prevent addiction is to avoid using drugs or alcohol. But that is easier said than done.

If you are lucky enough to recognize addiction  early,  follow these steps to avoid drug addiction.

1. Understand why people use drugs and alcohol

2. Understand the difference between drug addiction and drug addiction

 Alcohol and drug addiction and alcohol and drug addiction are defined differently. A person who drinks a lot and then suddenly manages to stop is considered an alcoholic or drug addict. But addiction occurs when the body needs alcohol or drugs to stop the withdrawal symptoms. The line between abuse and addiction is not well defined because a person can abuse alcohol and drugs and experience the negative consequences of addiction.

 3. Avoid temptations and peer pressure

 You may have heard the expression "You are only as good as the company you run" and in fact, this statement is true. If you have friends or family members who push you to use alcohol or drugs, avoid them. Make new friends who follow healthier habits,  do well in school,  are motivated at work and  have goals.  Develop goals and dreams for yourself. Remember that alcohol or drugs can quickly become addictive; no one becomes a drug addict or an alcoholic. In active addiction, the only possible goal  is to obtain drugs or alcohol to feed the addiction. Whether it is drug addiction or alcohol addiction, both require professional addiction treatment.

4. Find the support you need

 People who struggle with emotional stress have a higher risk of becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol. Work on developing  skills. If there are events or experiences in your past that affect your emotions, find a reliable and healthy source of support. If you have depression, anxiety, paranoia, or other mental health issues, counseling or therapy and social communities, such as religious or spiritual organizations, can help you deal with negative emotions and behaviors in  healthy, life-affirming ways. Remember that alcohol and drugs combined with mental health problems only make the mental health problem worse. Do not try to self-medicate your feelings or physical discomfort.

5.  Healthier lifestyles in practice

Exercising, eating right, and meditating are great ways to avoid  drugs or alcohol. Often the results of a healthier lifestyle can help  resist the temptation to use drugs or alcohol to escape. A healthy body helps to deal with everyday stress. If you have practiced  healthy lifestyles and stress management, it will be easier to deal with trauma.3
