Some people try a drug to feel better; they may start using a prescribed medication after an accident or surgery. Others may first use a drug to enhance their performance in school or work. And some people are curious and want to experiment to find out how a drug will affect them. After repeated use, a small number of people develop a dependence on drugs. Some risk factors are more likely to result in addiction. Adolescents who first use substances are more likely to become dependent on them than adults. Researchers believe this is due to the substance’s effect on the developing brain. Another notable risk factor is how the drug is used.
