How Substance Addiction Can Drive You Into Debt

Home Blog How Substance Addiction Can Drive You Into Debt

A substance addiction has far-reaching effects that extend beyond that of your health. It can affect your relationships, your education, your job and your financial security. It’s difficult to weigh the severity of these impacts when you are struggling with an addiction. However, you should try to take a step back and view the big picture of things to see how addiction truly affects you or someone you love.

The costs of substance addiction

Substances alone can be expensive to purchase. Whether purchasing under a prescription or illegally r, each time you purchase a substance you are taking a significant chunk out of your finances. 

And it doesn’t stop there.

Misusing prescription drugs can lead to an increase in health insurance premiums. Additionally, you may need to pay for legal fees if you are charged with a DUI or other crimes that may be associated with substance abuse.

Another cost of substance addiction is in your work itself. Addiction to substances can put your job at risk by limiting your ability to perform your duties effectively and safely or by causing you to miss out on shifts entirely.
