<br />Health Risks
<br />Abuse of alcohol and use of drugs is harmful to ones
<br />physical, mental, and social well-being. With excessive
<br />drug use, life becomes centered on drugs to the
<br />exclusion of health, work, school, family, and general
<br />well-being. Accidents and injuries are more likely to
<br />occur If alcohol and drugs are used. Alcohol and drug
<br />users can lose resistance to disease and destroy ones
<br />health. Increasing tolerance developed by the user
<br />complicates the effects of drug use. This tolerance may
<br />be psychological, physiological, or both and may lead
<br />to greater danger of overdose.
<br />Alcoholism takes a toll on personal finances, health,
<br />social relationships, and families. Abuse of alcohol or
<br />use of drugs may cause an individual driving a motor
<br />vehicle to injure himself or herself or others and may
<br />subject the person to criminal prosecution.
<br />The following summarizes the effects and dangers of
<br />the major categories of drugs:
<br />Amphetamines: Physical dependency, heart problems,
<br />infections, malnutrition, and death may result from
<br />continued high doses of amphetamines.
<br />Narcotics: Chronic use of narcotics can cause lung
<br />damage, convulsions, respiratory paralysis, and death.
<br />Depressants: These drugs, such as tranquilizers and
<br />alcohol, can produce slowed reactions, slowed heart
<br />rate, damage to liver and heart, respiratory arrest,
<br />convulsions, and accidental overdoses.
<br />Hallucinogens: These drugs may cause psychosis,
<br />convulsions, coma, and psychological dependency.
