SOCIAL EFFECTS OF DRUGS ON SOCIETY

You are here:
 1. Home
 2. Addiction & Pop Culture
 3. Social Effects of Drugs on…

The social effects of drugs on society are horrific. Drug abuse results in
crime, depleted resources, injuries, worsened livelihoods and the deprivation of
childcare and healthcare to innocent citizens.  


HOW DOES DRUG ABUSE AFFECT THE COMMUNITY?


IT COSTS EVERYONE MONEY

According to DrugRehab.org, drug and alcohol abuse rake up an annual fee of
nearly $600 billion. Abusing drugs and alcohol comes with many side effects,
requiring support and resources from health care, lost revenue, damages and
health care. The ripple effects of drug use include sexual assault, prison
sentences, foster care placement, child abuse and work-related injuries. The
more society abuses drugs, the more we pay for it as a whole.


IT MONOPOLIZES HEALTHCARE RESOURCES

Every year, drug abuse costs the healthcare industry over $180 billion. Health
care is responsible for rehabilitation programs and services, mental disorders
and injuries related to drug abuse or addiction.

Drug abuse demands tax dollars and hospital resources that could be directed
toward other more positively beneficial efforts and life-saving endeavors.


IT DISRUPTS THE FAMILY UNIT

Drug abuse takes an extensive toll on the family, which in turn has a negative
impact on society. Studies show the tendency of one family member to abuse drugs
or alcohol and this one family member’s problem causes tension amongst all
members.

If a parent is misusing drugs or alcohol, it creates strain in the spousal (if
any) relationship, driving the parent’s partner into frustration and fatigue,
possibly resulting in a lack of effort at work, in parenting, in friendships or
in the ability to care for himself or herself.

Regain your life after crack abuse and dependence by enrolling in our customized
rehabilitation programs.

A parent abusing drugs always leads to the children receiving inadequate care.
This results in poorer childhood health, reduced academic performance, neglected
emotional support and more.

As the children of a drug abuser are denied basic necessities of parenting
(often including shelter and food), their involvement in and contribution to
society, later on, is hindered. In some cases, the emotional burden is too
great, causing the affected children to turn to drugs or alcohol as a coping
mechanism and recreating the cyclical negative process.

When one child in the family is addicted to or abusing drugs, it affects
everyone. Parenting efforts and financial resources tend to go toward helping
the one child, neglecting the needs of the other seemingly stable kids in the
family. The stable children are denied necessary parenting attention and fail to
be pushed toward their potential which would lead to greater positive influence
in society in their adulthood.


IT RESULTS IN CRIME

Over half of federal prison occupancy is accounted for by individuals with
incarcerations related to drug abuse or addiction. Each year, drug-related
incarcerations in state prisons cost taxpayers $45 billion as well as $144
million in federal prison incarcerations.

More crimes are committed by individuals under the use of drugs and alcohol,
costing society its resources, time, efforts and safety.


EVERYBODY ELSE HAS TO WORK HARDER

Drug abusers bring down productivity at work.

They are late, absent, or mentally impaired on the job, requiring other
employees to make up for their lack of productivity. Straining the work capacity
of fellow employees triggers irritation and exhaustion in these employees, which
has a ripple effect on their relationships with partners, family, and friends
and eventually, on their ability to function optimally at work.

These consequences of drug abuse on society are not necessarily outcomes of
every drug abuse situation, but they are unfortunately the common result and
just some examples of how substance abuse worsens feelings of stress. Abusing
drugs takes a toll on everyone, stemming from the abuser’s close connections,
family, work, health care, and society as a whole.

If you or a loved one is facing drug addiction or abuse, reach out to United
Recovery Project. We have the knowledge, resources, experience, and facilities
necessary to help you or your loved ones get through this drug-related trying
time. Contact us today and enjoy our services which include detox, inpatient
programs, and alumni programs among others.
