There are no truly defined "steps" in drug addiction. If you try a certain drug, you may become addicted to THAT drug and may not necessarily move to more harmful drugs. It may also vary depending on the drug. For example, if you start with alcohol as a teenager you may become a drinker, or maybe even an alcoholic, for the rest of your life. If you start with marijuana, you may not become "addicted" per say, but you may become a regular user of the drug. Always remember to use common sense and not do anything dangerous, addictive or stupid. Good luck.

What types of new addictions do addiction centers treat?
Addiction is addiction. While some addictions are more deadly, all addictions have the potential to ruin lives if untreated. Ultimately, a food addition is no less dangerous than an addiction to methamphetamines. It doesn't matter if the addiction is to prescription drugs, alcohol, porn, sex, shopping, food, cocaine and a host of other possibilities. All addiction follows the same route, and cross-addiction is the rule, not the exception. 12-Steps programs, for example, all use the same 12 steps, and substitute "food" or "cocaine" in the place where "alcohol" was first written.
