Research suggests that 50% of a person’s likelihood of developing addiction is based on their genes. The choices you make and the environment you are exposed to can change which of your genes are switched on or off. Knowing about a family history of addiction can empower you to make different decisions about using substances. You can reduce your risk of developing a substance use disorder by doing things to keep the addiction switch turned off, like delaying substance use until your brain has fully developed and learning skills to cope with stress and express emotions in a healthy way.
