Risky Driving: Effects of Drugs

Drugs cause emotional destruction beyond the physical damage they cause. Physical risks can ruin your life, and your friends and family might go through severe emotional distress in dealing with you and substance abuse.

Using drugs is one of the main causes for making bad decisions. Substance abuse can lead to other acts of violence and possibly gang involvement. Substance abuse makes you do things you would not ordinarily do because it distorts your thought processes.

If you or someone you know is abusing drugs, there are support groups and clinics that will provide you with assistance.
