    TYPES OF DRUG ABUSE

    1.Heroin

    As a destructive opioid, heroin


    can lead to seizures, psychosis,
    and hallucinations when it is
    abused. Heroin injections can also
    spread diseases such as human
    immunodeficiency virus and
    hepatitis. This drug is known to
    cause serious health issues when
    it is abused because it interferes with the brain’s receptors.
    Individuals who take heroin always require professional
    rehabilitation because the symptoms of withdrawal may be
    life-threatening.
    2. Cocaine

    Cocaine is a very dangerous


    stimulant even when taken in
    small amounts. It induces
    euphoria, increases blood
    pressure, and accelerates the
    heart rate. The drug may lead to
    fatal strokes or heart attacks for
    some users. Due to the severe
    consequences of using cocaine, users require immediate
    professional treatment.

    3. CrackA potent form of cocaine, crack is often smoked and


    suddenly creates an intense euphoric sensation for a short
    while. Crack has turned into a problem because it is cheap
    and easy to buy and use. Abusing
    the substance, however, can lead
    to immediate addiction. Abusers
    are also at risk of suffering heart
    attacks and strokes with every
    use. Long-term use can cause
    liver, kidney, and lung damage.
    4. Hallucinogens

    PCP (phencyclidine) and LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) are


    hallucinogens, which means that they make users feel, see,
    and hear things that are not real. While they experience
    hallucinations with these drugs,
    users lose touch with reality and
    enter mental states of
    disconnection. Withdrawing from
    hallucinogens is not easy, and
    abusers will need professional
    treatment in a rehab facility.
    5. Marijuana / Cannabis

    Marijuana is the most common


    illegal drug that is abused, and
    many people begin using it as a
    recreational drug in social
    situations. Continued abuse of
    marijuana can lead to addiction,
    and the substance can affect the
    physical coordination, memory, and mental functions of
    users over time. While it is easy to abuse marijuana, it is not
    easy to stop using it.
    7. Alcohol

    Abusing alcohol can cause psychological, physical, and social


    problems, and it can lead to the destruction of relationships,
    friendships, and marriages. A lot of alcohol abusers drink so
    much that their bodies are unable to handle it. Sometimes
    this requires that they are
    hospitalized for alcohol poisoning.
    Furthermore, alcohol abuse can
    lead to injury or death to the
    people around them while they
    are under the influence. Alcohol
    withdrawal can be fatal because
    of delirium tremens, which is a symptom with the potential
    to trigger heart failure or stroke. Refraining from drinking
    also is not easy when it becomes a habit because of mental
    and physical issues. Professional assistance is often necessary
    for abusers of alcohol.
