    PROJECT

    DRUG
    ADDICTION
    Abstract
    Drug abuse, also called substance abuse or
    chemical abuse, is a disorder that is characterized
    by a destructive pattern of using a substance that
    leads to significant problems or distress. Teens are
    increasingly engaging in prescription drug abuse,
    particularly narcotics (which are prescribed to relieve
    severe pain), and stimulant medications, which treat
    conditions like attention deficit disorder and
    narcolepsy.
    Any substance, other than food, used in the
    prevention, diagnosis, all aviation or treatment of a
    disease is called a drug. Drug is also known as a
    medicine. Generally, the term drugs applied to any
    stimulating or depressing substance that can be
    habituating or addictive. A drug, broadly speaking,
    can be categorized in many ways; hard or soft,
    uppers or downers, addictive or non-addictive, most
    harmful or least harmful, legal or illegal.
    Classification of Drugs
    There are many factors that lead people to drug addiction.
    1. Curiosity: Frequent references to drugs by public media create curiosity
    for having a personal experience of the drugs.
    2. Friend’s pressure: Frequent appreciation of drug experience by friends
    allures others to start the use of drugs.
    3. Frustration and Depression: Some people start taking drugs to get relief
    from frustration and depression.
    4. Desire for More Work: Students sometimes take drugs to keep awake the
    whole night to prepare for examination. It is not desirable as it may cause
    mental breakdown.
    5. Looking for a Different World: A wrong notion that the drugs open up a
    new world tempts some young pupils to start taking-drugs.
    6. Relief from Pain: A prolonged use of pain-relieving drugs with physician’s
    advice at times leads to addiction.
    7. Family History: Children may take to drugs by seeing their elders in the
    family.
    8. Excitement and Adventure: The young take to drugs to satisfy their
    instinct for excitement and adventure.

    Smoking, Drinking and Use of Drugs


    Smoking and drinking and use of drugs frequently or regularly are social
    diseases. Young people take to these habits for fun, show off or curiosity, as
    an adventure or feeling of freedom, or as a gesture of defiance against the
    elders who themselves indulge in these activities but check the youngsters.
    Temporary escape from the life problems and mental relaxation felt on
    taking the drugs in the beginning increase people’s interest in them. Soon
    they become habitual and find in difficult to leave. The daily dose to get the
    desired effect increases with time.

    Prevention and Control
     Medical help in situations where counseling and talking cannot help.
     Counseling and education are one of the best ways of dealing with the cases
    of alcohol and drug abuse.
     Avoidance of peer pressure could help in bringing down these habits to a
    large extent.Help from family and friends could do a lot of damage control as
    people are closer to family and friends. Hence, talking to our loved ones
    helps in coming up with such situations.
     There are many reward centers mainly launched to help the alcohol and
    drug abuse patients from exerting control over the impulse to use drugs even
    when there are negative consequences.

    CONCLUSION -
    Use of drugs is harmful for health , therefore avoid taking drugs.
