CONSCIENTIZATION PROGRAMME
In this week I conducted conscientization programme on DRUG ABUSE. I chose this topic in a girl's school because now a days use of drugs is increasing even among girls. And girls can do a lot to avoid drug abuse. Many people don't understand why or
how other people become addicted to drugs. They may mistakenly think that those
who use drugs lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop their
drug use simply by choosing to. In reality, drug addiction is a complex
disease, and quitting usually takes more than good intentions or a strong will.
Drugs change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want
to. Fortunately, researchers know more than ever about how drugs affect the
brain and have found treatments that can help people recover from drug
addiction and lead productive lives.
What
Is drug addiction?
Addiction is a chronic disease
characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to
control, despite harmful consequences. The initial decision to take drugs is
voluntary for most people, but repeated drug use can lead to brain changes that
challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to
resist intense urges to take drugs. These brain changes can be persistent,
which is why drug addiction is considered a "relapsing"
disease—people in recovery from drug use disorders are at increased risk for
returning to drug use even after years of not taking the drug.
