Opioids
After tobacco, alcohol causes the most harm in Canada. The over-consumption of alcohol can cause some cancers, cirrhosis, heart disease, injury and death. Reduce your long-term health risks by drinking no more than 10 drinks a week (women) or no more than 15 drinks a week (men). There are many social and medical treatments to assist you.
Cannabis
You can get addicted to cannabis, and there is a withdrawal syndrome associated with it. There are some medications that can assist with quitting overuse of marijuana, but treatment is primarily behavioral.
Benzodiazepines
These medications include valium, ativan, lorazepam and clonazepam, among others. They are addictive, and can be very difficult to get off of. The illicit fentanyl supply is also tainted with benzodiazepine like substances, like etizolam.
