How Drug Use Turns Into Habit or Misuse

Saiz Fransis

The transition from casual drug use to habituation or misuse represents a critical juncture in the trajectory of substance consumption. This abstract explores the intricate process by which drug use transforms into habitual behavior or misuse, shedding light on the underlying psychological, physiological, and social factors that contribute to this transition. Factors such as reward pathways in the brain, environmental triggers, and genetic predispositions are examined in the context of habit formation and misuse. Additionally, the role of societal norms, peer influence, and mental health is explored. Understanding this transition is paramount for designing effective prevention and intervention strategies to mitigate the risks associated with drug habituation and misuse, ultimately safeguarding public health.
