Drug smugglers are turning to teens. The social pressure at this time of life is note worthy, teenagers being emotionally week and immature are easily trapped hence serving as an immense market for drug cartels. Adolescents consider taking drugs as act of bravery and pathway to adulthood. Drugs have never been accepted socially but curiosity takes better part of youngsters and they get easily attracted to such notorious things while struggling to be part of a so called cool group. Parents who are drug addict can affect their entire families. The young group of society, who can actually turn out to be productive is being affected by this thing hence unemployment is an imminent outcome for all this. A large part of our society is now being negatively impacted by hard drug use; hence a thorough research to figure out the reasons behind why employers don't hire drug addicts and potential strategies to help them is strongly needed.

Literature Review

This is certainly obvious from the literary works that the circumstances and needs of heroine drug users are numerous.

Research depicts that PDUs experience significant complications in making the transition to work. As an illustration, Sutton and colleagues carried out an analysis of the literary works investigating obstacles to occupation for grown-ups with substance abuse issues. They recognized 6 leading regions of negative aspect that served as obstacles to employment include: insufficient schooling and expertise; healthiness; social detriment; availability of support providers; engaging with bosses and support professionals; and managing dishonor.
