Seek help! You have to admit that you in fact have a problem, and then seek help. AA meetings, rehab, detox centers, churches, etc..are all great places to start. It's hard to go at it alone and will 9 times out of 10 end in relapse. Seeking outside help is the best way to go.

Answer2: Breaking the drug habit is not easy. Drug abuse is not just stopped by saying I just want to or willpower. Once a person becomes an abuser the brain and body develop and dependency on the drugs. A person has to seek qualified professional help to break free of drug abuse habit. People who do get help are able to break free, stop abusing drugs and lead productive normal lives.

Abusers can stop using with relatively little discomfort. Addicts find quitting extremely difficult for both physical and psychological reasons.

Addicts NEED the drug physically and psychologically. They are dependent on the drug in every aspect of their lives.

Why do people abuse adderall?

Most people who abuse prescription drugs do so because they were given the prescription for an actual problem. Once they tried the prescription, they either felt better or it produced a euphoric high thus making them feel good. Most abusers stumble upon this and then liking the feelings the drugs produced wanted to keep this feeling so they keep taking the drug. After a period of time the body becomes dependent and needing more of the drug to produce the same high so the person then starts abusing the prescription drug they are now addicted to. It's one of the hardest addictions to combat and also one of the most addicting and it is very common for people to be addicted and not even realize they are addicted to the drugs. Most abusers do not realize that they are going to become addicted because it was given to them by a doctor. Depending on the drug given, some of them are very hard to stop and can produce withdrawal. Abusers want to avoid this and continue taking higher doses to feel better. Not because they want to but because the body is requiring the higher dose to not feel ill from withdrawal from the drug.
