Causes of illegal drug use among women

Addiction has to begin with drug use, and the main factor in drug use is access. No one becomes addicted to a drug before they start using that drug. The drugs that people choose to use, either for medicinal or recreational purposes, have to be accessible to them. If you can’t get a drug, you won’t use it and get hooked. Women in our society do not have trouble getting access to drugs. According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), overmedication has been the primary reason for addiction in females. The study blames doctors, the media and women themselves for the overabundance of chemical intervention.
