I read this article, and I believe it is very well written and expresses the need to understand that an addiction is not something people want to fall into. Drug addictions are a means to an end, and we, as a society, ignore the mental health side of addictions. “What led that person to drugs in the first place is the problem.” More focus needs to be brought on the mental issues in regards to drug use, as well as many other behaviors. In addition, the stigma of mental health needs to be removed so when people are in bad circumstances they will reach out and ask for help and not suffer alone.
