People who are addicted to drugs face different mental health conditions including mental confusion, memory problem, attention disorder and mental illness among others. The family members are also negatively impacted; they have to deal with the challenge, stress and concerns that come with an addicted family member.

Suffice to note that all addictions do not emanate from illicit substances such as Amphetamine, Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, Benzodiazepines, Marijuana, Cocaine, Cotinine, Ketamine, Methamphetamine, Morphine and Opiates among others. People also get addicted to prescribed drugs including Codeine, Co-Codamol, Tramadol, Fentanyl, Oxycodone and Hydrocodone.

In either case, a Drug Rehabilitation Treatment program may be recommended. Drug rehabilitation is a clinically structured program whereby psychotherapeutic and medical treatment is provided to patients with psychoactive substances. The rehab centre usually has a complement of clinical specialists including Consultant Psychiatrists, Clinical psychologists, Psychiatric Nurses, Psychotherapists and other associated specialities and support workers.
