Drug Addiction in Olympia, WA

Drug addiction is a disease that affects men and women who use drugs for prolonged periods. Drug use often begins as a recreational or social outlet, but addiction quickly takes over. The behaviors associated with drug addiction destroy lives and relationships, but the professionals at Royal Life Centers are here to help you overcome the effects and regain control.

What Is the Difference between Drug Abuse and Drug Addiction?

Most people understand drug abuse and drug addiction to be the same condition, but in the addiction treatment and medical communities, there are differences. People who abuse drugs may be able to manage some aspects of their lives even though they chronically use drugs. Drug addicts, though, have lost all control over their use and lives.

People who abuse drugs may often function in society and hide their problem well, but signs of abuse can always break through. Here are some signs to look out for:

Decreased or low performance in school or at work

Continuous drug-related legal problems

Changes in appearance

Frequently being hung-over

Money problems

Changes in or difficulties with friendships and family relationships

Withdrawing from friends, families and other social systems

Personality or behavior changes
