Men and Addiction

Drug and alcohol use in men often begins early in their lives, during early teen or adolescent years. That is why addiction - at its core is a pediatric illness. The reasons why men begin to drink or use drugs vary from man to man and the path from casual, social use to abuse and addiction is very complex. We do know that abusing alcohol and drugs is very harmful. It affects more than just the drug user or drinker - it affects the entire family.

Males are plagued by drug addiction to a much greater degree and in much larger numbers than females. Alcoholism wreaks havoc upon men’s psychological and physical health.

Addiction causes impotency, incontinence, sarcopenia and degraded mental acuity. Alcohol and drugs speed up the onset of dementia and causes premature death in vast numbers of men each year. The statistics are mind boggling.

Consider the following risks of drinking alcohol or using drugs:

Depression, anxiety, suicide
Accidents — Alcohol is a factor in nearly 40 percent of traffic deaths
Violence — often against loved ones
Risky sexual behavior, such as unprotected sex or sex with multiple partners
Employment problems
Health problems - including impotency, cancer, HIV, Hepatitis C, cirrhosis, brain damage
Addiction — a disease described by uncontrollable craving and psychological dependence on alcohol or drugs.
