The costs of drug abuse are extraordinarily high. It endangers health and life, ruins relationships and puts abusers at odds with the law. Drug abuse can be insidious, slowly taking over all corners of a person's life, sometimes even rendering him/her unrecognizable.

The goal of this project is to demonstrate dramatically the immense toll that drugs like Meth can have on one's appearance and the seriousness of addiction. This extreme physical deterioration is often representative of further destruction taking place within an addict's personal, family and social life.

Use these representative images to remind yourself and your loved one(s) of just how bad things can become, and know that drug abuse is an absolutely serious matter. The physical transformation that prolonged drug abuse can cause is just the tip of the iceberg, merely an immediate and dramatic representation of the life-altering destruction that addiction can create.
