Drugs and alcohol abuse has seen an alarming increase in number over the years. An independent study shows that students and teenagers are more prone to drug and alcohol addiction. People in the name of being modern and cool fall prey in the vicious circle of addiction of drugs and alcohol.

Addiction of any kind, drug or alcohol can lead to the destruction of life and loss of health and wealth. Addicts are totally out of control and hence need special care and affection. One needs to find out the trigger points that lead to drug intake. Hence, empathy plays an important role in understanding the needs and provide support to individuals. One comes to understand what actually prompts the person to take drugs and proper support and care can help the addict.

Youth and addiction

An independent survey has declared that youth of the age group 16-30 are more prone to the pothole of addiction. Youth ayre tender at heart and therefore they are easily targeted. The main reason for the affluent youth to make them prone to addiction is easy money. as they can be easily duped, a huge amount of money is demanded every time they feel the need for drugs. New generation, modern outlook and happening lifestyle make them fall prey to the addiction.
