Drug use continuum

What is it?

A general guideline of how many people progress through various stages of drug use (there are 5 stages)

Not all users hit all points on the continuum

Stages

Stage 1: (Non-use) Never used a particular drug

Stage 2: (Experimental use) Has tried a substance once or several times, often motivated by curiosity and peer influence

Stage 3: (Occasional use) Infrequent and irregular, availability, accessibility, and affordability influence use

Stage 4: (Regular use) Predictable pattern and actively seeks to experience the drug

Stage 5: (Dependence) User experiences a physiological and/or psychological need, feels out of control, use the substance alone and starts to alter their way of life

Effects of drug use

Physiologically

When drugs enter your brain they change how your brain sends, receives, and processes information

Some drugs fool our receptors which send abnormal messages through the brain

Drugs take control of the reward circuit and the brain remembers causing you to seek and use the drug again

Neurons start to die because some drugs are toxic, when neurons die peoples ability to feel pleasure is reduces and they usually start to feel depressed, lifeless, and flat

Changes can still be present even after the person has stoped using drugs
