Each person's body and brain is different. People also react differently to drugs. Some love the feeling the first time they try it and want more. Others hate it and never try again.
Not everyone who uses drugs become addicted. But it can happen to anyone and at any age. Some things may raise your chance of addiction, including:
Family history. Your genes are responsible for about half of your odds. If your parents or siblings have problems with alcohol or drugs, you are more likely as well. Women and men are equally likely to become addicted.
Early drug use. Children's brains are still growing, and drug use can change that. So taking drugs at an early age may make you more likely to get addicted when you get older.
Mental disorders. If you’re depressed, have trouble paying attention, or worry constantly, you have a higher chance of addiction. You may turn to drugs as a way to try to feel better. A history of trauma in your life also makes you more susceptible to addiction.
Troubled relationships. If you grew up with family troubles and aren't close to your parents or siblings, it may raise you chances of addiction.
