How can you help a drug addict? Addiction is a complex problem that affects life. It requires reaching out for support & changing the way you live. Recovery is within your reach but don't try to go it alone; it's easy to rationalize "just one more"

"Treatment didn't work before, so there's no point trying again" Recovery from a drug is a long process that often involves setbacks.Relapse doesn't mean that treatment has failed. It's a signal to get back on treatment or adjusting the treatment approach

[Youths Against Drugs in Africa Foundation @AgainstEast]

#donateRehabilitateThem You can't force someone into treatment; they have to want help; Treatment doesn't have to be voluntary to be successful. People forced into treatment by family, legal system are just likely to benefit as those who chose to enter treatment on their own.

#donateRehabilitateThem Addicts have to hit the rock bottom before they get better; recovery can begin at any point in addiction & the earlier the better.The longer drug abuse continues, the stronger the addiction & harder to treat.Intervene before the addict has lost everything.

#donateRehabilitateThem Addiction is a disease; but something can be done about it.
Experts agree that addiction is affects the brain but it doesn't mean anyone is helpless.The brain changes associated with addiction can be treated & reversed by therapy, medication, exercise etc

[Youths Against Drugs in Africa Foundation @AgainstEast]

#donateRehabilitateThem Overcoming addiction is matter of will power. You can stop using Drugs if you really want. Prolonged exposure to drugs alters the brain in ways that result powerful cravings & compulsion to use it. Such brain changes make it extremely hard to quit by will
