ADDICTION
Done By: Fatimah Al Qallaf
DEFINITION:Individuals who gain a sense of
happiness and comfort when
intoxicated or euphoric due to the
consumption of drugs or alcohol are
what we can confidently classify as
addicts.
Each and every person suffering
from addiction has got their own
reasons and story as to how and
why they reached this state in
which they find difficult to
overcome.
CAUSES:
family history and background.

genetics but only by a very small percentage

environment and childhood traumas .


inability of the individual to cope with stress
effectively (social stress, emotional stress,
anxiety, depression and so on).
lack of education about it
Side effects of addiction:Isolation

addicted people stops engaging in
activities they used to enjoy in order
to spend time getting high
BEHAVIOR
People who were
once shy may
become outgoing
and those who
were generally
happy may exhibit
signs of depression
Appearance
Recognizable side effects of drug
abuse are seen in the appearance
of drug users who do not bath or
keep themselves groomed
.
Opiates
Physical side effects from opiate use,
which includes heroin and morphine,
are pin-sized pupils, slurred speech,
lethargy and nodding off at all times.
Stimulants
Stimulants such as
cocaine produce side
effects that include
restlessness, increased
blood pressure and
weight loss.
Treatment:
-There are many reasons behind
addiction, to kill the addiction,
tackle the reason the addict
started in the first place and help
them through rehabilitation
In conclusion:
In our life many people become addicted for
many reasons ; bad friends or lack of control
over self, and other reasons as we mentioned.
In my opinion :
Our job towards the addicts is divided to
two parts :
1. The people who still addict , we have to try
to help them to get help by going to
Rehabilitation centers and support them all
the way , and try to make them understand
that they are living in delusion. .
2. The people who
was addict , and
now trying to
make a new life
for them , we
have to
encourage them
and not to label
them as addict
,because in the
end we are all
humans make
mistakes
