If someone you know is addicted to drugs, be aware of where that can take them. Today I read the story of one young man who became addicted to prescription painkillers, OxyContin, after several surgeries following a car accident: he became addicted to the drug and was soon part of a distribution network – he became a dealer – that fed his habit. He wanted to stop, but the dealers who were higher up the food chain threatened to hurt his mother if he did. So, he couldn’t stop the drug, and he couldn’t stop dealing. Eventually his mother found out about it and, $70,000 later, her son is now through drug rehab.

The drugs are dangerous enough in themselves, but the criminal element is also hard to avoid. The world of drugs is also a world of criminals – and they’re very nasty. When you’re talking about a drug habit, you’re talking about people who will do just about anything to feed it.

A good drug rehab program can get someone rehabilitated: they’ll be out of the drug scene – which means they’ll no longer be taking drugs - and they’ll no longer be in danger of becoming, or becoming involved with criminals. A good percentage of people in prisons are there because of drug-related crime. Don’t let it happen to someone you care about. Get them into a drug rehab program fast.
