      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      What does drug addiction do to a person?

      Drug addiction, also known as Substance Use Disorder (SUD), is a complex condition that affects an individual's brain and behavior, leading to an inability to control the use of drugs despite harmful consequences. Drug addiction can impact a person in various ways, including physical, psychological, social, and emotional aspects of their life. Some of the effects of drug addiction include:

      • Physical health problems: Chronic drug use can lead to numerous health issues, ranging from mild to severe. These may include weakened immune system, cardiovascular problems, liver damage, lung diseases, kidney damage, and increased risk of infectious diseases, such as HIV and Hepatitis C.
      • Mental health issues: Drug addiction often co-occurs with mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Substance use can exacerbate existing mental health conditions or lead to the development of new ones.
      • Cognitive impairment: Prolonged drug use can impair cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. This can impact an individual's ability to function effectively in daily life and may result in poor academic or work performance.
      • Emotional instability: Drug addiction can lead to emotional instability, mood swings, and increased irritability, which can strain personal relationships and affect overall well-being.
      • Social isolation: Individuals with drug addiction may withdraw from social activities, hobbies, or relationships, leading to isolation and loneliness. They may also prioritize drug-seeking behaviors over other aspects of their life, further damaging social connections.
      • Financial difficulties: The cost of obtaining drugs, combined with reduced work performance or job loss, can lead to financial strain and potentially result in homelessness or dependence on others for support.
      • Legal problems: Drug addiction may increase the likelihood of engaging in illegal activities, such as theft or drug trafficking, to support drug use. This can lead to arrest, incarceration, or other legal consequences.
      • Increased risk of overdose: Chronic drug use increases the risk of accidental overdose, which can result in severe health complications or death.
      • Family and relationship issues: Drug addiction can strain family relationships and lead to instability within the household, as well as negatively impact the emotional and physical well-being of children in the family.

      Why are lgbtq+ individuals at higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse?

      LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others) individuals are indeed at a higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse due to a variety of factors that often intersect and compound over time. These factors primarily relate to the stress and challenges associated with living as a marginalized group in many societies. Here are some of the main factors:

      Minority Stress: This term refers to the chronic stress faced by individuals belonging to a stigmatized minority group. For LGBTQ+ individuals, this can stem from societal prejudice, discrimination, and violence related to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Such stressors can contribute to increased substance use as a coping mechanism.

      Stigma and Discrimination: Experiences of rejection, exclusion, and maltreatment can increase feelings of anxiety and depression, which are associated with higher substance use rates. This can occur in various settings, including workplaces, schools, and even within families and social networks.

      Internalized Negative Self-Perceptions: LGBTQ+ individuals may internalize societal biases and develop negative self-perceptions about their identity, leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. These feelings can contribute to the misuse of substances as a form of self-medication.

      Lack of Inclusive Healthcare: Many healthcare systems lack the resources or training to provide culturally competent care to LGBTQ+ individuals. This can make it difficult for these individuals to seek help or access effective treatment for substance use disorders.

      Social Isolation: Feelings of isolation, which can be the result of rejection or non-acceptance by family, friends, or society, can increase the risk of substance use and misuse.

      Intersectional Identity Stressors: LGBTQ+ individuals who also belong to other marginalized groups (like racial or ethnic minorities) may face additional stressors that can increase the risk of substance abuse.


      What are the causes of drug addiction?

      1. Genetic predisposition: Research has shown that genetic factors can contribute to an individual's vulnerability to drug addiction. Certain genes may influence how a person's brain processes and reacts to drugs, making them more prone to addiction.
      2. Brain chemistry: Drugs affect the brain's reward system by increasing the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. This leads to feelings of pleasure and euphoria, which can reinforce drug-seeking behaviors and contribute to the development of addiction.
      3. Environmental factors: Exposure to drug use in one's surroundings, such as through family members or friends, can increase the likelihood of experimentation and eventual addiction. Additionally, factors like high levels of stress, poverty, and a lack of social support can increase vulnerability to addiction.
      4. Psychological factors: Emotional and mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and trauma can make individuals more susceptible to drug addiction. These issues can lead people to self-medicate with drugs in an attempt to cope, ultimately increasing the risk of addiction.
      5. Early exposure: Experimenting with drugs at a young age can increase the likelihood of developing addiction later in life. The adolescent brain is still developing, making it more susceptible to the effects of drugs and the development of addiction.
      6. Availability and accessibility: Easy access to drugs can increase the likelihood of drug use and addiction. When drugs are readily available in a person's environment, the chances of experimentation and continued use increase.
