Drug addict is a person who is taken to the habit of drugs. A person is generally put to this habit by his friend or from some other addict. Sometimes, during parties or get together, an innocent person is forced to drug by his friends just to have taste of it. Other reason can be depression. A person can simply take to this habit just to forget his worries.Third reason can be unemployment; a person is forced to drugs by unemployed. Generally, unemployed people easily fall prey to bad company. The reason being obvious, an unemployed person is free and depressed too. In such a situation, he is relieved from his worries by taking drug.The habit often starts with small dozes consumed by the addict.Soon, quantity intake increases. A stage comes when addict becomes totally dependent on drugs.When he feels for intake of drug, he looks for money or something for which he can buy doze of drugs.When he runs short of money, he is forced to steal or do other crimes. You can see a number of records where heinous crimes of murder and kidnapping have been done to earn a big buck by addicts. has not spared any section or age group of people. Normal people without criminal records are roaming free on roads thus endangering the lives of innocent people.Not only underprivileged people have taken into this habit of drug addiction, but there has been increase in cases where a number of educated engineers, doctors, popular sportsman have been taking to drug addiction. There has been alarming increase in the number of addict in our country.Drug addicts are social stigma for the society. They are hated by their parents, siblings, children and wives.Drug addict loses his body resistant thus become easy preys to lot of diseases.Skin infections, gastric troubles, throat cancer and tuberculosis are some of the few harmful diseases to which an addict is exposed to.Treatment of addict is dependent on his own will power than anything else. There are many organizations who are offering financial aids for the help of addicts. not only give aid for treatment but also for rehabilitation of addicts.Social organizations should come forward to help people in distress.People should also join their hands to stop this menace from rising. Social Groups responsible for improving the issue say that govt. is also responsible for making the situation difficult. It is time that some strict laws should be made.Govt. people who are indirectly getting a share in the money made through drugs should be taken with heavy hands. Teenagers should themselves take vow not to indulge habit of drugs. Parents should also play a role by checking habits of their wards. I personally think that media can play a very important role in improving the situation by showing documentaries on drug addiction.
There should be big NO to drugs at the very first offer.
