Opium increase has increased drastically over the years in Afghanistan. In the use of Opium and the crop growth. Up to today the increase is largely high. Opium is starting to become mostly like a trend in Kabul. In the poorest city almost anyone you may bump into may be using the substance. Especially because Opium is mostly inexpensive to afford. Most clinics that help in rehab are only allowed to give out Methadone as a substitute for Heroine. In the video one of the helpers in the clinic admits not everyone is cured by the time their date expires at the clinic. This needs to be brought to the top and help take care of the kids. Small children being on Opium is not part of being a child. This could get worse than it is now if its isn't being treated with immediate attention.

The United Nations has seen the number of increase in Opium users in Afghanistan. It can go from Grandparent Addicts, Aunt and Uncle Addicts, and the  number one is Parent Addicts.When all of them are addicts and children are around that influence on every day basis chances are those kids will have Opium passed on. http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/20/world/asia/afghan-opium-addict-family/ In this story listed in the link, it involves the whole family addicted to opium. The mother's name is Masoma. Her brother, sister, mother and herself used Opium after loosing the death of Mosama's younger brother after her husband died. For her and her family to forget the sorrow and pain, her family and herself abused Opium to give her "comfort and keep them calm".

Another part of the poor people in Afghanistan that barely have money to even buy food. To feed 9 members in their family, be poor, no money for food, hungry family; they use Opium as a solution. Opium seems to be easier to afford and helps their problem from starving and storing food longer. One family was being interviewed, this is the family with 9 members. They have barely any money. The small amount of money they did have they used a 1 foot piece of bread and to feed 9 in a week.
