Beschreibung

Drug misuse, abuse and Addiction is a multifaceted problem that impacts individuals, families, and society as a whole. The physical, psychological, and social levels of individuals and society are all affected as a result of drug addiction. Withdrawal symptoms include psychomotor, palpitation, perspiration, sleeplessness, restlessness, transitory hallucination or illusion, frustration, bodily and psychological ailments, and so on. Opioids, sometimes known as narcotics, are pain relievers recommended by doctors to manage chronic or severe pain. Opioid medicines are designed to relieve pain, but they've been widely promoted and inappropriately administered, resulting in a slew of injuries and fatalities. Abuse of opioids can cause vomiting, mood swings, a loss of capacity to reason (cognitive function), and potentially respiratory failure, coma, or death. Opioids have a significant potential for addiction, and overdoses and deaths are prevalent.
