根据DEA，毒品是阿片类药物，例子是“非法药物海洛因和药物喜欢oxycontin, Vicodin, codeine, morphine, methadone, and fentanyl.” Those who abuse narcotics are putting themselves at risk of many issues both physical and mental as well as harmful behaviors that can lead to unfortunate circumstances. While different drugs do cause many of these same issues, the dangers of narcotic abuse are specifically significant, especially with their high availability to those who would abuse them.
Narcotics Overdose
Being caught with narcotics can get you arrested!
One of the most dangerous effects of narcotics abuse is that of overdose. While some drugs do not usually cause a life-threatening overdose syndrome, narcotics, or opioids, are particularly dangerous to an individual in high doses. According to the奈达“按规定进行的，阿片类药物可用于安全有效地管理疼痛。然而，当滥用时，即使是单个大剂量也会导致严重的呼吸抑郁和死亡。“
Narcotics slow down the body’s functions, including breathing, which becomes very dangerous when a person takes a large dose. Because a person will also likely fall unconscious or into a coma when they overdose on narcotics, they will usually not be able to help themselves and will be especially in danger if they are alone. Someone who overdoses on narcotics should be rushed to the hospital right away.
即使个人生活，仍有其他可能由麻醉品过量导致的问题。“抑郁的呼吸可以影响到达脑的氧气量”并且可能导致脑损伤。研究人员正在研究表阿片过量给人类的大脑功能是否有长期影响，但问题很可能发生。麻醉品过量不仅可以是危险和有害的，而且致命。
麻醉毒害危险
虽然过量造成特别危险，但甚至在麻醉品上也有其自身的风险。根据这一点奈达，“当处方药被滥用（没有医疗监督）时，驾驶受损和其他有害反应变得更加可能。”滥用非法和处方阿片类药物以获得高处的个人可以进入事故或参与他们稍后可能后悔的风险行为。
这se issues can lead to other complications as well. An individual who drives while under the influence of narcotics could become hurt or hurt someone else. They may also get arrested. In other situations, a person who abuses narcotics may do dangerous things when they get high like have unprotected sex or take risks in order to get more drugs, putting themselves and possibly others in danger. When someone is high on narcotics, it makes it much more difficult to make smart choices.
Addiction
如果您滥用毒品，这些药物将开始影响您生活的所有方面。当一个人不再可以自己停止滥用麻醉品时，就会发生成瘾，在那里他们强迫他们滥用他们，以便无论后果如何。
麻醉品成瘾的一些常见结果包括：
- 失业
- Financial insecurity and debt
- Grades slipping
- Isolation from others
- 关系问题
- Family problems
- Losing friends
- Getting arrested
- Overdose
- 一般不满
- An inability to quit despite all of these issues
对麻醉品的成瘾非常危险，可以导致上面列出的任何问题。虽然滥用毒品的人可能会迅速上瘾，但有些药物比其他药物更具成瘾（更危险）。这奈达Teenstates, “Some people who start out abusing opioid and get addicted to them may turn to heroin, which can be cheaper and easier to get on the street.” Prescription drug addiction can lead to heroin addiction which will only make it harder for the individual to quit.
Physical Effects
麻醉品滥用造成的有许多物理副作用，这不仅是有问题但危险的，甚至致命。在早期毒品滥用中，一个人可能会经历便秘，恶心和混乱，但这些问题很快就会变得更加问题。
In addition, a person who abuses narcotics in the long term can experience one or many of these physical issues, including:
- Heroin
- Liver disease
- 肺问题
- Abscesses
- 感染
- Heart problems
- 坍塌的静脉
- Track marks
- Malnourishment
- Withdrawal symptoms
- HIV和丙型肝炎（通过使用共用针）
- Prescription354manbetx
- 头痛
- Heart problems
- Heart failure
- 低血压
- 缉获
- “增加脑和脊髓压力，”通常由羟考酮引起（塞萨尔)
- 头晕
- Weakness
Any of these physical effects can be extremely dangerous, even those which start out less intense. Over time, they can cause even more issues for the individual which, in many cases, will be ignored in favor of taking more of the drug. Especially in the situation of addiction, narcotics abusers will not stop taking a drug when it begins to cause them physical problems. Many times, they would rather ignore these issues than quit which is extremely dangerous.
Mixed Drug Abuse
滥用毒品也是滥用其他药物的人，通常是非常可能的。这是令人难以置信的危险性，并且可能导致更多的风险而不是单独服用麻醉品。根据SAMHSA, “In emergency department visits involving the use of benzodiazepines in combination with opioid pain relievers [or narcotics], the risk of a serious outcome rose to 44 percent.”
苯并二氮卓不是唯一遭受麻醉品的药物。许多常规的毒品滥用者也喝酒，这会导致它们过量的甚至更高的可能性，开始呼吸太浅，或根本停止呼吸。苯二氮卓病导致同样的问题。有些人甚至采用可卡因或安非胺等兴奋剂的毒品。这是非常危险的，可以导致一个完全不同的问题，包括心脏病发作和中风。
根据这一点DEA, “Narcotics/opioids are controlled substances that vary from Schedule I to Schedule IV.” Even prescription narcotics are controlled because of the high abuse potential of these substances and the dangers that abusing them may cause. Understanding these dangers may be able to keep you from experiencing them or even to help someone who has been abusing narcotics and putting themselves at risk.
