Why do people turn to drugs?​

there are three primary causes of drug use. Within these main causes, there stems a myriad of reasons as to why people start to use drugs. Certain people may face several different factors, which are each, on their own, a reason to use drugs. But these reasons are all the result of some sort of emotional, psychological, or physical categorization of the causes for drug use.

Emotional: Feeling they need drugs to fill a void in their lives (whether it’s stress, trauma, relationship issues or more)

Physical: Feeling like they need the physical effects of a high or low to physically feel better

Psychological: General feelings of inadequacy towards themselves or the world, so they use drugs to boost their confidence and self-esteem and ability to make sense of things
