People who abuse drugs are weak-willed. They could control their craving for drugs if they tried.
True
False
Answer explanation
Addiction is a complex condition of the brain and brain chemistry. It drives people to use drugs even when they know about the health or social problems that can happen. People have a choice about whether to use drugs when they first start. But continuing to use them affects how the brain works. This leads to addictive behavior. Getting drugs becomes compulsive. Addiction is often long-term (chronic). Just like diabetes or heart disease, sometimes the condition is under good control. But other times there are disease-related problems. The long-term nature of addiction means that even if an addicted person stops using drugs, they can relapse and begin using again. Drug treatment and ongoing support and management can help break this cycle.

If you suspect that a loved one is abusing drugs, check that the person isn't in any immediate danger. If the person isn't in immediate danger, wait to discuss the abuse issue until they aren't high. If they are in immediate danger, take them to the closest emergency department or call 911.
True
False
Answer explanation
You should also wait until a time when the person is not upset or angry. The first step in talking to your teen or other family member is to express your love for them and your concern about your teen's health and safety, according to the Partnership to End Addiction. You should also share with the person the warning signs you have seen. Emphasize that the problem needs serious attention and support because it can get out of control. Have definite resources and support ready. Be open to getting family therapy if the person abusing drugs is an immediate family member. Stay calm, neutral, and nonjudgmental. Listen to the person's response.
