There is no one type of person who abuses alcohol or succumbs to drug addiction. Alcoholism and substance abuse happens to every family in America. While many would love to be able to pin it to race, education, or parenting the fact is that people of all races, all economic groups, all education and family types have this disease within them.
There is a genetic element to addiction, but there are also environmental factors that determine whether that genetic component is ever "activated". Trying to figure out why someone suffers from alcoholism or is has a drug dependency is best left to the medical professional performing the intake assessment and diagnosis.

Colorado Springs Alcohol / Drug Recovery Treatment Centers: Your Path to Peace and Recovery!. Alcohol/drug recovery is dependent upon a successful detoxification from the substance, proper relapse prevention treatment, the support of family and friends, and, of course, the attitude of the individual trying to stay sober.
Alcohol and drug abuse is a serious problem in our nation. Millions of Americans abuse drugs daily, costing our nation over three hundred billion dollars annually in health care and other costs. The biggest cost, however, is the cost to lives and relationships. Substance abuse tears apart families and friendships, ruins your health, and can even lead to death, not just for you, but for those around you.
Drug detox centers are for the purpose of restoring the body to its natural state so that recovery can begin on the mind. Months and years of physical dependency upon a drug can cause the body to perform at a less than optimal level. Certain drugs create physical changes within the body. Opiates, for example, enlarge the body's own opiate receptors and alter how the brain "feels" things or experiences pain.
The goal of Colorado Springs Drug Treatment Centers is to help you find drug treatment centers that will provide you with strategies that helps you recognize the complex processes of relapse that can put your recovery at risk. Relapse prevention is an intricate process and not a spontaneous event that suddenly occurs without warning.
There are as many different types of addiction as there are addicts, and as many difference causes of that addiction. Some people have underlying disorders or compulsions which make them more susceptible to addiction and addictive behaviors. The saying used to be that "some people just have addictive personalities", that you could observe their inclinations towards repetition and risk oriented behavior.
