Abuse Leads to Disease

Does child abuse lead to drug abuse or disease? Sadly, when a child is abused, he or she is more likely to end up an abuser of drugs or alcohol if he or she has not properly dealt with the traumatic experience(s). There have been countless studies where it has been proven that many of the diseases now causing many of the illnesses can be traced back to times of child abuse, neglect, or other adverse childhood experience or traumatic event that occurred as a youth. In fact, a child who has been abused is FOUR times more likely to become a smoker, alcoholic or drug abuser.
