Drug Withdrawal - It's So Common It's On Television

From the time we are young enough to understand, we are taught that using drugs is a bad thing. Still the number of drugs addicts continues to rise? Even though there are countless groups and organizations that fight to prevent drug abuse, we are still losing the battle against drugs. Everybody knows that using drugs can shorten your life span. Why then are we seeing so many people experiencing drug withdrawal?

The Reasons Why We See So Many Enduring Drug Withdrawal

Society is partially at fault for the increase in drug usage. More and more celebrities aren't ashamed to admit that they use drugs and cater to alcohol manufacturers in their music videos and red carpet appearances. Once, this behavior was only tolerated for the bad boys and girls of Hollyweird. Now, boozing and using drugs is how you get on the cover of magazines. When teenagers see their role models defiantly breaking the law and abusing drugs, they typically follow.

Rehab, believe it or not, makes for good television. Some how shows like Intervention, Celebrity Rehab, and Sober House all make drug usage interesting. It's quite scary that one person's pain and self inflicted, death sentence is worthy of a television show. Perhaps, drug usage was less trendy when it was hidden and not popularized on television. Sadly, there is nothing exciting about watching someone experience drug withdrawal. No matter how sad the statistics are and what they see on television, there are still people who have to experiment with drugs. Too often, these experiments become long-term abuse instead of a one time trial.
