There are various reasons why people develop drug addiction whether its psychological or physical pain. In the article ” Veterans Face Greater Risks Amid Opioid Crisis” Childress (2016) affirms that America’s fastest growing drug crisis continues to spike not only among citizens but veterans as well ( p. 1). Childress notes that during deployment, veterans have unlimited access to painkillers medication in order to reduce chronic pain during war which increases drug addiction within veterans. Therefore, a large amount of veterans develop drug addiction due to their dependency on opioids to reduce pain. In fact veterans with opioid addiction do not only suffer from chronic pain but other fatal problems such as psychological pain. Drug addiction can be caused by various reasons. such as, social discomfort or sever pain.
Drug addiction is a relief method developed by most users in order to cope with their current situation. such as, life struggles and chronic pain. According to Szalavitz (2016) “heroin provided a sense of comfort, safety and love that I couldn’t get from other people” ( Para. 8). Szalavitz uses her own personal experience to explain the contributing agent for her addiction problem. Szalavitz notes that heroin provided her with “comfort” that allowed her to cope with life. However, her heroin usage allowed her to become dependent on the relief provided by the drug. Szalavitz however, does not show any effort taken to seek an alternative that could provide social comfort without the drug dependency.
