Raising Awareness and Prevention of Drug Addiction and Dependency

Recognizing addiction isn’t always easy and the line between drug abuse and drug dependency is pretty thin. Dependency is the ultimate stage of drug addiction and this stage includes persistent drug use despite negative effects such as loss of employment, destroying personal relationships and families, criminal behavior, among others.
