There is no way to get through to a drug addict. You can talk to them. Ask them to get help, but until they want to get the help. If you are a parent or a spouse of an addict there are programs available to help you get through being part of an addicts life. You can call your local NA program listed in the phone book and ask about programs for family members like parents, spouse, even for children and see if they have any. They really do work I was married to a man for 11 years that was an acholoic, and drug addict if it had not been for these programs ........... PRAY!!!!!

How many times does it take for teens to get addicted to drugs?

You can get addicted the first time you use a drug, some drugs more than others. The problem is most people don't want to stop while they still can. The drug or drugs start to cause problems and the user tries to quit and finds they cannot stop. It is to late ,they are already addicted. Every drug addict I have talked to, including myself, said it will never happen to me.


What does a higher tolerance and dependence of a drug do?

Increased dependency and tolerance basically means you'll need more of the given drug to the the same amount of high, and if you ingest the same amount you have been you won't feel as high, because your body is getting used to/immune to it.Dependence is when you have become addicted to the drug and then have a real physical or psychological need for the drug to function. That is why when you quit you go through withdrawal and it is best not to quit cold turkey if you want to succeed.

Do most addicts start using their drug of choice with the intention of becoming a drug addict?

Nope - most addicts start using drugs 'recreationally' - in that they just want something to give them an 'occasional buzz'. Sadly, their body becomes used to the dose - and demands more to give the user the same effect. This snowballs until the addict is absolutely dependant on stronger and stronger drugs.
