DRUG AND ALCOHOL
Alcohol and drug abuse is a serious disease that affects all kinds of
people
young and old. We say that chemical dependency is a
primary disease. It is not cause by any other illness such mental
illness, it is not caused because one is morally or physically weak,
does not come about from bad habits or stress or the company one keeps. It
is challenging to
know if someone
is using alcohol or drugs.
Alcohol
and Drug abuse or Chemical Dependency
is a disease that is Chronic which means it can be treated or
arrested but it cannot be cured. It is Progressive which means that it
gets worst over a period of time if it is not treated. With time
chemical addiction gets worse and worse and can cause major damage to
the body, and the mind not to mention family relationships. It is Fatal
If Chemical addiction is left untreated it can cause death to the
individual. Death can come as a result of physical complications as a
result of the abuse or by accidental overdose, accidents or suicide.
However this does not need to be the case. If you or someone you know
is having a problem with alcohol or drugs we can help.
