Effects of Drug Addiction
(Physical and Psychological)
• The definition of drug addiction refers to the obsessive and
repeated use of dangerous amounts of drugs and the
appearance of withdrawal symptoms when not using drugs.
The effects of drug addiction seen, due to this compulsion,
are wide-ranging and profound. Effects of drug addiction
are felt by the addict both physically and psychologically.
The effects are also seen in those around the addict, like
family members.
• The effects of drug addiction also include the cost to the
justice and health care systems. Violent behavior is most
closely tied to alcohol use and alcohol abuse is responsible
for the disability of 58.3 million people worldwide.1 It was
estimated the effects of drug addiction cost the U.S. $245.7
billion in 1992. This number represents health care
expenses, lost wages, prevention program costs and
criminal justice system costs, among others
Psychological Effects of Drug Addiction
• The psychological effects of drug addiction come from the reason the user is addicted to
drugs, as well as the changes that take place in the brain once a person becomes a drug
addict. Initially, many people start using drugs to cope with stress or pain (read about:
what causes drug addiction) An effect of drug addiction is creation of a cycle where
anytime the user encounters stress or pain, they feel the need to use the drug. This is one
of the psychological effects of drug addiction involved in "craving" of the drug. Craving is
an effect of drug addiction whereby the addict is obsessed with obtaining and using the
drug, to the exclusion of all else. One of the psychological effects of addiction involved in
craving is the belief the addict cannot function or handle life without use of the drug.
• Other psychological effects of drug addiction include:3
• Wild mood swings, depression, anxiety, paranoia, violence
• Decrease in pleasure in everyday life
• Complication of mental illness
• Hallucinations
• Confusion
• Psychological tolerance to the drug's effects creating a desire to do ever-increasing
amounts of the drug
• Desire to engage in risky behavior
Physical Effects of Drug Addiction
• Physical effects of drug addiction vary by drug but are typically seen in all systems of
the body. Some of the primary physical effects of drug addiction take place in the brain.
Drug addiction changes the way the brain functions and impacts how the body
perceives pleasure. These effects of drug addiction are because the drug repeatedly
floods the brain with the chemicals dopamine and serotonin during drug use. The brain
adapts and comes to expect, and depend on, these drug-induces highs.
• Physical effects of drug addiction are also seen in babies of drug abusers as well as in
mortality statistics. One effect of drug addiction is: children born to drug-using mothers
can be cognitively affected throughout life. Regarding mortality, one-in-four deaths are
due to the effects of drug addiction.4 Other physical effects of drug addiction include:
• Contraction of HIV, hepatitis and other illnesses
• Heart rate irregularities, heart attack
• Respiratory problems such as lung cancer, emphysema and breathing problems
• Abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea
• Kidney and liver damage
• Seizures, stroke, brain damage
• Changes in appetite, body temperature and sleeping patterns
