<strong>SOC</strong> <strong>305</strong> <strong>Week</strong> 5 <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Paper</strong> <strong>Effects</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Solutions</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Drug</strong> <strong>Abuse</strong><br />

Introduction<br />

<strong>Drug</strong> abuse is continuous use of substances like alcohol in quantities or with ways unacceptable<br />

by medical experts mostly for purposes of altering normal body functioning. It is majorly a<br />

health concern, but in the recent decades, it has risen <strong>to</strong> become one of the worst ills in the<br />

society (Haw & Haw<strong>to</strong>n, 2011). There are various laws that prohibit use certain drug types<br />

especially those often abused. Most judicial systems protect their citizens from drug abuse <strong>and</strong><br />

related issues. There are two categories of drug offenders namely the dealers <strong>and</strong> the users. This<br />

paper analyses the effect of substance use on the social institutions <strong>and</strong> effective mechanisms of<br />

dealing with the drug offenders (West, 2010).<br />

Negative social effects of <strong>Drug</strong>s<br />

Parents who use drugs or alcohol are likely <strong>to</strong> overlook their children leaving them <strong>to</strong> their own<br />

diplomacy. Since such parents are often lost in their addictions, they are unable <strong>to</strong> provide the<br />

proper leadership that children need particularly throughout their growing days (Sindelar &<br />

Fiellin 2001). Teenagers bred in homes where a dear blood relation uses alcohol or drugs, have a<br />

superior propensity for developing the dependence afterward, generally because the family is<br />

more relaxed in terms of drugs use. The result of alcohol or drug abuse on relations involved <strong>and</strong><br />

results may differ between families based on a numerous fac<strong>to</strong>rs. Families affected by substance<br />

abuse have one thing in comparison; they reside in homes where traits <strong>and</strong> communication are<br />

both impulsive <strong>and</strong> vague. This has effects that affect relations psychologically, economically,<br />

<strong>and</strong> health-related level (Wren, 2000).<br />

Substance dependence by a blood family member can significantly jeopardize the emotional<br />

maturity of children in the home (West, 2010). This is because the users of drugs <strong>and</strong> alcohol are<br />

more probable <strong>to</strong> be involved in domestic brutality
