Answer:

There are many consequences that may come about as a result of drug abuse. There can be social, legal, financial, and physical and mental health consequences. The consequences of drug abuse may differ in intensity depending on how far the addiction has progressed and the type of drug being abused.

Mental Consequences

Some of the common mental consequences are depression, anxiety, mood swings and psychosis. While psychosis is usually a direct result of drug use, depression, anxiety and mood swings can be both a direct and indirect result and can persist even after drug use has stopped.

Physical Consequences

The physical drug addiction consequences are perhaps some of the most obvious to the individual. Scrapes, bruises, track marks, lip burns, skin abscesses, contracting diseases (like HIV or Hepatitis C), increased tolerance, physical dependence on the drug and withdrawal symptoms are all physical consequences. Physical and sexual abuse can also be consequences of addiction.

Social Consequences

The social consequences of addiction are usually the most talked about. Dropping out of school, job loss, hospitalizations, going to detox or drug treatment centers, legal problems (DUI, possession charges, etc.), going to jail, troubled relationships, being the perpetrator or victim of any kind of abuse- all of these are social aspects of drug addiction consequences. Social problems may occur instantaneously for some while other addicts may only experience one or two.

Spiritual Consequences

The spiritual drug addiction consequences can apply to anyone, whether they are religious, spiritual, agnostic or atheist. These types of consequences include feeling hopeless, lonely, scared, guilty, ashamed, dishonest, perpetually unhappy and restless for no apparent reason. As with the mental consequences, these can become more apparent after drug use has stopped but do get better with recovery from addiction.
