Is It Easy to Become Addicted to Drugs or Alcohol?

It depends on the person. There are many factors that determine how and why people become addicted. Some of them include: genetics, frequency of use, the substance itself, a person’s sensitivity to substances, mental and physical health issues, psychology issues.

Addiction is passed down from generation to generation through genetics. Although that doesn’t guarantee the offspring of addicts will automatically become addicted. The psychological propensity to addiction is also a factor. One person can use a couple of times and become addicted, whereas someone else can use for months and never become addicted.

If you or someone you know is addicted to substances, consider traveling for your treatment. Traveling to another city or state gets you away from stresses and harmful conditions that may make it easier for you to abuse substances.

It can be hard to re assimilate into society after spending some time in rehab, but finding a fellowship can help. Connecting with people that have experienced what you have is a great way to stay accountable and make friends who’ll be there for you in your times of need.
