Substance use can have consequences even before it develops into a substance-use disorder. Among young people, early substance use is associated with a greater risk of dependence and other health and social problems later in life. This is why prevention and early intervention are important, especially during adolescence.
Making informed choices today can help protect your health, development, relationships, and future. Let us not wait for substance use to become a serious problem before recognizing its risks. Prevention begins with awareness, accurate information, and responsible decisions.
