What Stages Lead to Substance Addiction, a Condition When One Already Needs Immediate Drug Rehab Programs?
Question by ANAMARIA N: What stages lead to substance addiction, a condition when one already needs immediate drug rehab programs?
My friend said that it is fine to try illegal drugs as long as you will not continuously use it. This is why he keeps on persuading me to puff some marijuana. However, I told him that a small amount of illicit substance would be very harmful for the body. Besides, it will lead to even bigger problem and greater addiction. I want to convince my friend using factual info, but I am not so sure about the stages of substance use. Can you help me?

Everything begins with curiosity. A person is somewhat thrilled to use something that is different for him, or perhaps he is just influenced by his peer. He will look for ways to satisfy this curiosity by giving illicit substances a try. Curiosity will then level up to experimentation. Research shows that experimentation is commonly triggered by issues such as financial and family problems. The individual will think that substance intake is a way of solving his problems. It could also be a way for him to temporary escape from the hardship he feels. After a series of drug uses under the experimentation stage, the person will eventually fall into addiction. He may not be able to stop this by himself especially if he has developed a strong dependency on it.
