Description

People of all ages suffer the harmful consequences of drug abuse and addiction including babies, adolescents (tweens/teens), and adults. Scientists study the effects that drugs have on the brain and people’s behavior. They use this information to develop programs for preventing drug abuse and for helping people recover from addiction.

Environmental, societal, and biological risk factors are explored as contributors to addiction within this report. It also provides an overview of how the brain’s functionality is impacted by drugs and covers how long- term drug abuse can also impair brain functioning. It also provides guidance for treatments and recovery for addiction as well as an educational prevention strategy, especially targeted at youth.
