Addiction can affect people from all backgrounds and can happen to anyone, at any age. There is no easy way to spot an addiction disorder because not everyone who uses drugs becomes addicted. The people with a high risk of developing an addiction may experience:
other mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder
drug use that started at a young age
peer pressure from people who encourage drug use
unhappiness or instability at home, with friends, or at work
family history of a parent or sibling has a drug or alcohol addiction
