Untreated drug addiction can lead to a host of health problems and being high makes it more likely you'll experience an accident that could seriously hurt your health, or even kill you. And, of course, you could die from the drugs themselves, if you overdose (OD).
But treatment -- even if you have to go through it multiple times because you've relapsed -- does work for a great many people. For treatment to be effective you will have to accept that you have a problem that requires a lifelong commitment to overcome.
