WHAT IS DRUG ADDICTION
An Introduction
The word Drug has been derived from a Fresh word Drogue which
means a dry herb. These are organic or inorganic substance which when
taken produces an effect on body.
When people hear the world drug addict, the words have negative feeling
and stigmas attached to them. People visualize a person who does not
care about anything including family, work or commitments except for
obtaining money to buy drugs. However, there are many people who are
drug addicts that maintain a normal functioning life.
DEFINITION OF DRUG ADDICTION
According to world health organization
Drug addiction is a State of Periodic or Chronic intoxication produced by
the repeated consumption of drug.
DEFINITION OF ADDICTION
According to George. F. Koob
Addiction is a compulsion to take a drug without control over he intake
and chronic relapse disorder.
However, there are certain misconceptions about drug addicts. Once it
was thought a person was drug addict or alcoholic only if he needed that
drug daily or if the event through some withdrawal symptoms like vomiting,

CHARACTERISTICS OF DRUG ADDICTION
1. Loss of Control
The user cannot predict what will happen when he uses the substance.
One day he may be able to stop after one drink, or after one line of
cocaine, the next day he may not be able to control his use at all.
2. Compulsive Preoccupation
The addict spends a great deal of time thinking about the substance.
3. Continued use despite negative consequences
If drinking or drug use causes problems but one continues to do it one is
tempting addiction or is already addicted. The person has lost voluntary
control on the use of that substance.

CAUSES OF ADDICTION
There has been a controversy over the causes of addiction. Historically it
was thought that addiction was caused by
13 Lack of willpower
14 Poverty
15 Moral weakness
16 Mental illness
17 Genetics
18 Family socialization
19 Anti-social personalities
20 Societal problems
Some scientists believed that drug addiction is a disease although the
evidence to support this theory is weak.
Main 3 causes of drug addiction
1. The Drug
Some drugs are more addictive than others. This is due to the
pharmacology of the substance and how it affects the mood of the user.
2. The Addict
People who have low. Self concepts, who feel bad about themselves have
a higher rate of addiction. People with low self concepts user psychoactive
substances either to enhance or create pleasure in their lives, or to
-

decrease the constant emotional pain they live. The better a person feel
about himself, the less likely he will be to use or abuse psychoactive
substance. A society that has easy access to drugs, that has a population
that is addiction prove due to physical or emotional pain, and that has
unclear norms, is a society prone to addiction.
3. The Environment
In our bio-chemical society, we hear mixed messages about the use of
psychoactive drugs. Some, such as alcohol and tobacco are accepted,
while use of hard drugs is condemned. Some drug use is glamorized in
the media, while different parts of the country have different standards for
public intoxification. All this makes it easier for people to accept drug use
as normal.

TYPES OF DRUGS AND THERE EFFECTS
1. Cannabis
All forms of cannabis have negative physical and mental effects. Several
regularly observed physical effects of cannabis are a substantial increase
in the heart rate, bloodshot eyes, a dry mouth and throat, and increased
appetite.
Use of cannabis may impair or reduce short-term memory and
comprehension, alter sense of time, and reduce ability to perform tasks
requiring concentration and coordination, such as driving a car. Motivation
and cognition may be altered, making the acquisition of new information
difficult.

2. Inhalants
The immediate negative effects of inhalants include, nausea, sneezing,
coughing, nosebleeds, fatigue, lack of coordination, and loss of appetite.
Solvents and aerosol sprays also decrease the heart and respiratory rates
and impair judgment. Amyl and butyl nitrite cause rapid pulse, headaches,
and involuntary passing of urine and feces. Long-term use may result in
hepatitis or brain damage.
Deeply inhaling the vapour, or using large amounts over a short time, may
result in disorientation, violent behavior, unconsciousness, or death. High
concentration of inhalants can cause suffocation by displacing the oxygen
in the lungs or by depressing the central nervous system to the point that
breathing stops.
Long-term use can causing weight loss, fatigue, electrolyte imbalance, and
muscle fatigue. Repeated sniffing of concentrated vapors over time can
permanently damage the nervous system.

4. Other Stimulants
Stimulants can cause increased and respiratory rates, elevated blood
pressure, dilated pupils and decreased appetite. In addition, users may
experience sweating, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, sleeplessness,
and anxiety. Extremely high does can cause a rapid or irregular heartbeat
tremors, loss of coordination, and even physical collapse. An amphetamine
injection creates a sudden increase in blood pressure that can result in
stroke, very high fever, or heart failure.
In addition to the physical effects, users report feelings restless, anxious,
and moody. Higher doses intensify the effect. Persons who use larger
amount of amphetamines over a long period of time can develop an
amphetamine psychosis that includes hallucination, delusions, and
paranoia. These symptoms usually disappears when drug use ceases.

5. Depressants
The effects of depressants are in many ways similar to the effects of
alcohol. Small amounts can produce calmness and very relaxed muscles,
but larger does can cause slurred speech, staggering gait, and altered
perception. Very large does can cause respiratory depression, coma, and
death. The combination of depressant and alcohol can multiply the effects
of the drugs, increasing the risks.
Regular use of depressant over time can result in physical and
psychological addiction. People who suddenly stop taking large doses can
-

experience withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety, insomnia, tremors,
delirium, convulsion, and death. Babies born to mother who abuse
depressants may also be physically dependent on the drugs and show
withdrawal symptoms shortly after they are born. Birth defect and
behavioral problems also may result.

6. Hallucinogen
Phencyclidine (PCP) interrupts the functions of the neocortex, the section
of the brain that controls the intellect and keeps instincts in check.
Because the drug blocks pain reports, violent PCP episodes may result in
self-inflicted injuries. The effects of PCP vary, but users frequently report a
-

14/38
sense of distance and estrangement. Time and body movements are
slowed down. Muscular coordination worsens and sense are dulled.
Speech is blocked and incoherent. In later stages of chronic use, users
often exhibit paranoid and violent behaviour and experience hallucinations.
Large doses may produce convulsion and coma, as well as heart and lung
failure.
Lysergic acid (LSD), mescaline, and psilocynbin cause illusion and
hallucinations. The physical effects may include dilated pupils, elevated
body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, loss of
appetite, sleeplessness, and tremors. The users may experience panic,
confusion suspicion, anxiety and loss of control.

7. NarcoticsNarcotics initially produce a feeling of euphoria that often is followed by
drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. Users may also experience constricted
pupils, watery eyes, and itching. And overdose may produce slow and
shallow breathing, clammy skin, convulsion, coma and possible death.
Tolerance to narcotics develops rapidly and dependence is likely. The use
of contaminated ssyringes may result in disease such as AIDS,
endocarditics, and hepatitis. Addiction in pregment women can lead to
premature, stillborn, or addicted infants who experience severe withdrawal
symptoms.

7. Designer Drugs
Illegal drugs are designed in the terms of their chemical formulas. To
circumvent these legal restrictions, underground chemists modify the
-
8/9/2019 Drug Addiction Jasmine (Report)
17/38
molecular structure of certain illegal drugs to produce analogs known as
designer drugs. These drugs can be several hundred times stronger than
the drugs they are designed to imitate.
The narcotic analogs can cause symptoms such as those seen in
Parkinsons disease : uncontrollable tremors, drooling, impaired speech,
paralysis, and irreversible brain damage. Analogs of amphetamines and
methamphetamines cause nausea, blurred vision, chills or sweating and
faintness. Psychological effects include anxiety, depression, and paranoia.
As little as one does can cause brain damage. The analogs of
phencyclidine cause illusion, hallucinations, and impaired perception.

8. Anabolic Steroids
Steroids
Anabolic steroids are a group of powerful compounds closely related to the
male sex hormone testosterone. Developed in the1930s steroids are
seldom prescribed by physicians today. Current legitimate medical uses
are limited to certain kinds of anemia, severe burns, and some types of
breast cancer.
Taken in combination with a program of muscle-building exercise and diet,
steroids may contribute to increases in body weight and muscular strength.
Steroid users subjects themselves to more than 70 side effects ranging in
severity from liver cancer and acne and including psychological as well as
physical reactions. The liver and cardiovascular system are most seriously
affected by steroid use. In males, use can withered testicles, sterility, and
importance. In females, irreversible musuline traits can develop along with
breast reduction and sterility. Psychological effects in both sexes include
very aggressive behaviour known as rod rage and depression. While
some side effects appears quickly, other, such as heart attacks and
strokes, may not show up for years.
9. Alcohol
Alcohol consumption causes a number of changes in behaviour. Even low
doses significantly impair the judgement and coordination required to drive
-
8/9/2019 Drug Addiction Jasmine (Report)
19/38
a car safely. Low to moderate doses of alcohol can increase the incident of
a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate
to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental
functions, severely altering a persons ability to learn and remember
information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death.
Continued use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of
alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe
anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions long-term effects of
consuming large quantities of alcohol, especially when combined with poor
nutrition, can lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain
and the liver. In addition, mother who drink alcohol during pregnancy may
give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants may suffer
from mental retardation and other irreversible physical abnormalities. In
addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at great
risk than other children of becoming alcoholics.

the desire to smoke. Because nicotine is highly addictive, addicts find it
very difficult to sop smoking. Of 1,000 typical smokers, fewer than 20
percent succeed in stopping on the first try.

DRUG ADDICTION IN TEENAGERS
Todays voices talking about new danger- drug addiction at schools are
heard more and more loudly. It is not easy to say how reasonable these
fears are, as no serious and exhaustive researches has been mad in
lithuania till today. The only obvious thing is that such phenomenon really
exists but its extent are unclear- they might be exaggerated by mass
media or might be unimaginable neither by government, parents or
teachers.
Impression is that this problem is absolutely new and unexpected, may be
that the reason it seems so threatening only recently discussions on this
issue began, and often they are quite populisticly.
Adolescence is a critical period for addictions to develop because in this
age their go system works in full force and stop system is immature
teenagers notoriously respond to sexual stimulations take dangerous risks
and take many decisions for a moment rather than for long term period it
takes after the age of 20 or so for the parts of the brain that involved
decision making and higher level thinking to fully develop.
Most teens who drink, smoke or use drugs do not become addicts.
However a genetic predisposition combined with the critical period of
adolescence can tilt the scales towards early addictions.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE DRUG ABUSE IN TEENAGERS?
1. School performance
29 Active dislike for school
30 Makes excuses to stay at home
31 Drop in performance
The child suddenly shows an active dislike for school and looks for
excuses to stay at home one should contact in school to see whether the
Childs attendance record matches what the parents know about his or her
absent days
A student who experiences a drop in performance possibly failing in his
courses or receiving only passing grades may b using drugs.
2. Physical Health
32 Listlessness
The child lacks in energy and enthusiasm. He does not show interest in
doing any work.
33 Appathy
The child, if he takes drugs has a difference attitude towards everything.
He gets irritated very easily and is not all polite while talking.
34 Reduced Self care
The mood of the child keeps on changing. There is a sudden change in
eating and sleeping patterns. This all may indicate that the child is using
drugs.
-

25/38
3. Appearance
How they look is extremely important in adolescent. A sudden lack of
interest of two thing grooming or looks may be a warning sing of drug use.
4. Personal behaviour
Teenager enjoy privacy but their exaggerated efforts to bar family
members from entering their rooms or knowing where they go with their
friends might indicate that may be the child is addicted to drugs. Drastic
change in behaviour and in relations ships with family and friend may
signal drug use.
5. Money
Sometimes teenagers demand for money suddenly with out any
explanation, this might indicate that the child is addicted to drugs. The
teenages who are addicted to drugs also steal valueable.

STEP IS TO PREVENT THE USE OF DRUGSAMONG TEENAGERS
Various steps should be taken by the parents and also by the government
to prevent the use of drugs among the teenagers spending on drugs
preventions in school is one of the most effective thing a government can
do after at the other place in society where you can have a captive and a
well organized audience is school.
FOLLOWING ARE THE VARIOUS STEPS
1. Normalising Abstention
The most important part of any prevention programme specially in schools
is normalizing abstention. By abstention we mean avoidance of doing or
indulging in some activity. Under this programme the teenagers should
understand the ill effects of drugs and should be given education on how to
avoid the intake of drugs. This is one of the best ways to teach the pupils
to say no to drugs and to learn about the dangerous effect of drugs.
2. Assertiveness Training
Assertiveness training is also very important and it help the teenager to
stand up for their own values without a feeling that they are not grown ups
yet. What ever they learn in this training will help them through out their
lives. Weather in the work place or facing other pressures in school. In this,
students are given a training to speak and do things in a forceful way and
they should stand up for their rights.
-
8/9/2019 Drug Addiction Jasmine (Report)
27/38
3. Building self confidence and self worth
If the teenagers have a feeling of self confidence or self worth within them
they will not indulge in drugs and they will then understand that they are
not supposed to do those things which are not meant for them. Those
feelings can also be bought within the teenagers by various types of
training and prevention programs.
4. Parental Education
Parents also need help in how to tackle these issues at home. Parents
should be given required training as how to handle a situation when they
come to know that their child is using drugs. If parents are fully educated or
aware about drugs and its addiction qualities then only they can help their
child to stay away from it.
5. Communication at home
One of the best ways to protect children from addiction is to talk to them.
On the one hand communication is very important but on other hand it
takes time. The trouble is that many parents only wake up when there is
already a problem and their child shows a different behaviours and is not
willing to talk communication takes times on regular basis so, parents need
to be advice and educated on how to prevent communication problems.

ADDICTION TREATMENTS
PAST AND PRESENT
In the past, society viewed drug addiction as a moral flow popular
treatments involved imprisonment, sentencing to asylums, church guided
prayers etc. not surprisingly these methods were generally ineffective.
Today wee understand that drug addiction is brain disease characterized
by fundamental and long lasting changes in the brain. Modern treatments
are based scientific research. Treatment in tailored to the individual, and
typically involves a combination of drug and behavioural therapy. Todays
methods are very effective with 40 70% of patients remaining drug free.
TREATMENTS
1. Detoxification
For some addictive drugs, suddenly stopping use can use painful
withdrawal symptoms. In the past, the resulting suffering was considered
a necessary part of rehabilitations. It was the punishment for having the
moral flow of being an addict. Today we understand that while
detoxification is the necessary first step to recover from drug addiction
there is no reason for the patient to suffer. In fact allowing painful
withdrawal, decreases an addicts chances of recovery. To avoid
withdrawal symptoms, todays doctors often gives patients medication that
makes them feel similar to being on the addictive drug and gradually
-
8/9/2019 Drug Addiction Jasmine (Report)
29/38
reduce their dose overtime. This stabalises the person brain long enough
to get through the detoxification process. Examples of this type of
treatment include methadone and LAAM for opiate with drawal, nicotine
replacement therapies etc.
2. THE CHALLENGE OF TREATING DRUG ADDICTION IN JAIL
Treating addicts who end up in the criminal justice system adds another
layer of complexity to the issue. How should low enforcement deal with
administrating drug addiction treatment? Innovative approaches such as
drug court may prove to be the answer.
Bring courts deal with offenders charged with less serious crimes such as
possession or being under the influence of drugs. In lieu of serving a jail
sentence, offenders must plead guilt to the charge ,agree to take part in
the treatment, get regular drug tests and report to the judge for at lest one
year. If they fail to complete any of the requirements they may be
incarcerated. But if they complete the requirements, the changes against
them are dropped and they gradate from the programme.
3. Behavioural Therapy
This therapy helps people for coping with their drug crawings, teach them
the ways to avoid drugs, find out their problems and solve it. It prevents
relapse and also help to reduce the risk of diseases like aids. This therapy
can include such things as learning to.
35 Talk openly about personal experiences.

36 Manage problems with out turning to drug.
37 Identify and correct problematic behaviour
38 Recognise drug crawings
39 Identify and manage high-risk situations
40 Establish motivation to charge
41 Improve personal relationship
42 Develop refusal skills
43 Manage time more efficiently
4. Relaxation Therapy
As the name suggests, it provides relaxation to the mind of the person who
takes drugs under depression doctors verbally provide relaxation to the
person.
5. Counseling
Under this doctors suggests you one thing i.e. Health is wealth. It is done
verbally. It also involves taking above problems related to job, relationship
with family and friends. For example :
Counseling provides the ways to say no when some pressurizes you to
take drugs. They just grab the opportunities to come up naturally with the
discussion as just by seeing a T.V. show or a post that discusses the issue
relating to drugs.

6. Meditation
It is a very popular and a well known treatment. It is done musically as well
verbally. Musically in the sense the doctors play the cassettes with rythms
to calm down the mind of the addict and verbally they tell stories above the
persons who had suffered a lot in their life but now their positive view,
determination and motivation has helped them to overcome the problems
and become successful in the end.

TIME PERIOD INVOLVED IN DRUG ADDICTIONTREATMENT
Minimum time period 3 months, 90 days
Maximum time period 12 months, 365 days
Treatment will be successful only when there is a full support from the
family members are friends. Recovery occur overtime. It is no a single
moment in time. It is a constantly evolving period that requires work to
main aim. Recovery is a new beginning and can be a time of great
personal fulfillment and growth for people in recovery and their families.
Who is drug addict improving health and wellness then we come to know
that the person is responding to the treatment and he really wants to
become normal and well again. Thousands of men and women are
recovering from the advanced stags of alcohol and drug abuse.
RELAPSING
It means to return to a former bad habbit. There are 98% chances of a
person to relapse even after getting the treatment. This one thing required
is self control of not using the drugs.

CONCLUSION
What we rust to about drugs?
1. Toughen penalties against all those making profit from drug trade
There should be tough penalties against all those making profits from the
drug trade. While it true that law enforcement against producers and
traffickers has only a managerial effect on total availability, it is important
that a powerful message is sent out from every government in the world
that drug profiteering is an international crime that will be severally
punished. Further investment in intelligence should be made and those
who make profits with drugs trade they should be arrested and heavily
penalised. If necessary international co-operation can be taken and with
this the nations can get freedom from drugs.
2. Prevention in schools
Spending on drugs prevention in schools is one of the most effective thins
that a government can do. After all the other place in society where you
have a captive and well organised audience is school. Various prevention
programes should be conducted and students should learn how to avoid
the use of drugs and should not indulge in illegal acts. A feeling of self
confidence and self worth should be brought in them. Parents should also
be educated about drugs, so that they can tackle issues a home only.
Communication at home between parents and children regarding drug

addiction should take place on a regular basis.
3. Road safety
Various road safety programs should be concluded. Routine testing at road
side should be done. This road side testing will help in preventing deaths
penalties should b severe and consistently applied for drink-driving with
treatment for offenders where alcoholic dependency is suspected or
proven. There need to be more education given to help the people who
drive frequently.
4. Expansion of residential treatment programmes
Various programmes should be introduced by which the drug addicts are
not needed to go the rehab ventures for treatment rather they get
treatment while setting at their place only. There should be more
widespread random testing in prisons with rewards for those who stay drug
free alcohol information and education as well as access to treatment
should be available through out the criminal justice system. Police and
other offices should be given a training in recognising and managing
alcohol related problems.
5. Tighten up the laws on selling promoting smoking/tobacco and
alcohol
The licensing laws for sale of tobacco and alcohol need tightening up.
There should be a complete ban on all tobacco advertisements. Licensing
laws for tobacco should be made for more stricter. The legal age of buying

cigarettes should be increased to 18.
6. Encourage drug free culture
Every possible means should be taken to encourage drug free culture.
There has been recent rash of films in which heroes are seen smoking in
money shots. This should not be there not only should there be a complete
ban on promotion of brands of tobacco in advertising but also on the
promotion of smoking itself. Media support should be there. Anti-drug
heroes should be developed.
If drugs are used for medical purposes then it is safe but if they are used to
receive pleasure, to forget tensions the they are injurious to health.
Drugs lose their glamour quickly in the end they only bring sadness.
So one must not be so weak hearted, that one gets addicted to deadly
drugs easily. Instead of treating the drugs addicts as inferior we must treat
them as misguided who must be brought back to normal life.
So, lets now from today itself take a pledge to stay away from drugs and
make this world a beautiful place to live in.
