As few as 10 years
ago, with the decreasing popularity of cocaine, national surveys documented encouraging
trends towards decreased drug use and there seemed to be a glimmer of light (hope) at the
end of the tunnel.
Shortly thereafter, heroin made a
come back and worked its way into mainstream America, especially with the youth and
unfortunately it is still going strong. Then came Methamphetamine, Ecstasy, Club Drugs,
and a host of prescription drugs, all of which are highly addictive.
Addiction is a subject that is hard to
define and has long been debated within the professional and medical circles and in
society in general. It doesn't matter whether it is Drug Abuse or Alcohol abuse it is
still addiction, however please realize that there are several stages a person goes
through on his way to becoming a full-blown addict. The links in this section take a
closer look at Alcoholism & Substance Abuse.
If you have become a
prisoner of addiction, help is available. Contact your local Alcoholics Anonymous or

Tomorrow it may be too
late!
