 From the very start we know that too much using of drugs can ruin our health as well as our lives. So the question is “Why do people take them though it is obvious that we can't avail of any good benefits in using them?” In terms of legal drugs, we're not aware that that we are taking more than we need and in terms of illegal ones, we use them not because we like them but because we are influenced by people around us.
Some of us try them because we're curious. Most especially teenagers. And for adults, it is the only outlet for them to ease their stress and shortcomings in life. For instance, first we try to smoke marijuana. Smoking marijuana is a kind of drug habit which is not so strong compared to cocaine.

But once you try it you can't stop yourself. As we know, human desire is endless. Your desire in taking something increases and all you have to do is to seek every time you need it. Until such time comes that you can't control yourself anymore. As time goes by, you want something stronger than marijuana.
Then you ask yourself “ What about cocaine?” The more you crave for it, the more you become addicted. And at that time you recognize that you are already a drug addict. Those are the dangers of using cocaine. You can encounter a lot of the bad effects of illegal drugs such as committing simple crimes like stealing or hurting other people.
At first it's just simple but later on it would be worse than you expected. You can even kill innocent people. Drug addiction can change people's behavior. It can cause a lot of trouble. If you are working, it can lower your performance due to lack of concentration and absence.
Your family around you would suffer including your friends. Now let's talk about the rehabilitation of addicts. How can they cope? Is there another way to get by with this problem? Who should they see to be rehabilitated? There is always a way on how to cope with some problems.
First you have to have the patient consulted to people who have knowledge about treating them such as psychologists. They can give special treatment and can understand all their needs. Bring them to the rehabilitation center and treat them with special care. We all know that drug addicts need special attention.
Encourage them in doing good things so that they can divert their minds in other meaningful things. They should be encouraged to meet people who had been involved and already recovered from addiction. Relatives should always be at their side to support them. Being a drug addict is not easy to deal with.
Because of drug addiction many lives were destroyed and there will be more. So, what is the best way to prevent it? They always say the best way to prevent drug addiction is never ever start doing it. Think of a better way to release your difficulties in life. Less addictions, less crimes.
