Addiction is a disease that affects every aspect of a person’s life, including their family, friends, coworkers and other people around them. This calculator provides an estimate of the effects of addiction on a person’s long-term physical health based on information entered, but there is no way to measure the toll the disease takes on a person’s loved ones or even long-term damage inflicted by factors like unemployment, legal trouble, or loss of housing.
