Having a strong support system is a crucial factor in preventing substance abuse and achieving long-term recovery. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a robust support network can reduce the risk of drug and substance abuse by up to 70%. This support provides positive influences, emotional encouragement, practical help, and accountability, all of which are essential for maintaining a healthy, substance-free life. NIDA emphasizes that behavioral therapies, which rely heavily on social support, are effective in treating drug addiction. These therapies help individuals in treatment modify their attitudes and behaviors related to drug use, leading to improved outcomes and reduced relapse rates. By building a strong support network, individuals can overcome addiction and achieve long-term sobriety. #Ndinewe #SubstanceAbuseAwareness

Addiction to substances has destroyed many lives. This year, World No-Tobacco Day focuses on the deleterious impact of Tobacco on children. Although we associate tobacco use with adults, tobacco addiction can afflict people in their childhood itself, who pick it from the environment and indulge in the substance as an emotional clutch. It alters the entire lifestyle of the children, impacting their mental and emotional well being. Its neurochemical-altering effects engenders debilitating conditions such as cancer, heart disease, chronic respiratory issues, severe gastric dispositions, dental hygiene among others.
