Awareness Programs on Drug Addiction

Young adult age is the period of growth and accomplishment. In this time they try to become independent by experiencing different aspect of life.

Drug Awareness Program

Adolescent and young adult alcohol and other drug use is a serious problem, not just legally, but developmentally. The human brain is not fully developed until an individual is in their early 20’s. With this being the case, adding mind-altering, foreign substances into the body is a serious issue that can have lifetime effects. There’s the obvious problem of how drugs affect the individual using them, but there’s also the issue of how substance use affects the friends and family of the using individual and the community at large. Young people need to be given the facts about what they are putting into their bodies and how their use affects them, the people around them, and the surrounding community. With this information, individuals will be making informed decisions when it comes to drug use.

Children are the future of our world and their knowledge should be something that we all invest into. Proper education about substance abuse is a crucial preventative measure for kids and teenagers. When adults share factual information about substance abuse, it helps kids develop a better sense of drug abuse awareness. Without proper educational measures about the harmful effects of drugs, kids may develop increased risks for becoming curious about drugs, falling prey to peer pressure, and try drugs themselves. When kids experiment with drugs it places them in a high-risk category for developing eventual drug tolerance, dependence, and addiction.

Drug Awareness Program

  • Drug abuse awareness is an understanding of:
  • what exactly substance abuse is
  • how to recognize warning signs of addiction
  • what kinds of consequences addiction can have
  • what substance abuse does and what the risks are
  • how substance abuse can lead to the development of an addiction
  • what to do and how to help if a friend or a family member has an addiction

This subset of substance abuse education benefits everyone, but instilling a sense of drug abuse awareness in children in particular drastically reduces the chances that they try drugs at all.

Additionally, helping teens to better understand the full impact of drug use can lower their risk of addiction as well as give them information to share with friends and family.

Drug Abuse Awareness Today

We live in a world where addiction is as much a trend as a disease. Statistics show that death by overdose has been steadily increasing since the early 2000’s. By raising drug abuse awareness and backing it with irrefutable facts, we can fight this statistic through the implementation of prevention programs for impressionable kids and teens. For those of you currently struggling with a substance abuse problem, it isn’t too late. There is hope for individuals who are already consumed by the cycle of addiction through methods used in addiction treatment. Recovery is possible, and so is addiction prevention with the use of educational drug abuse

Campaign against Drug Abuse

There is no alternative to launching social movement, involving every conscious citizen, for saving the young generations from the aggression of drug abuse in building a drug free society. The objective of the drive and campaign is to create much awareness among all and to build drug free society to protect the people particularly the young generation from deadly aggression of drug addiction. Most of the drug abusers are young and mostly got influenced by friends of their institute or locals. One of the main objectives of the program is for the students to realize impact of drugs on health and avoid tendency of taking drugs. State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal MP announced January 2016 as the month for Campaign against drug-abuse earlier in November 2015

Breaking the Stigma

Addiction doesn’t discriminate, and it affects all types of people from different backgrounds. The more people and families who open up about how addiction has affected their lives during times. Many people fall to the delusion that addiction only happens to people who live in certain parts of the country or have specific backgrounds. However, the truth of the matter is that many people who are addicts can be hiding their issues and so it is only from the outside appearance that they look like they’re living a normal life. Together, we can help raise awareness about addiction and help those who are struggling. Addiction is a legitimate illness, and when more people talk about addiction and recovery, more people can begin to get the help that they so desperately need.
