No nation on earth is untouched by the effects of drug abuse. The problem has reached such a
proportion that it has become a global threat. From the impoverished villages where drugs are
grown to the modern cities where they are ultimately sold, drugs follow a complex route that hits every country in the world; Bangladesh is no exception.
CBT is used to treat cocaine addiction by helping patients learn new behaviors to stop cocaine abuse. Key principles of CBT include modeling new behaviors, operant conditioning to understand triggers of use and develop alternative reinforcers to cocaine, and classical conditioning to reduce cravings by extinguishing conditioned cues. Treatment is individualized and focuses on teaching patients skills like coping with cravings and managing thoughts to initially gain control over cocaine use and achieve abstinence.

Addiction is something that a lot of people deal with. Addition in all its entirety is whether substance and drug abuse related addiction or behavioral related addiction, plays a very crucial role in impending development. Here development entails personal life development, society development or the national development of a country. Thus it is the priority of every person, society, government and organizations to try and curb this menace.
The understanding of addiction (its nature, its causes, and its effects) is the only rational way of controlling its demise. There have been numerous studies, researches and experiments conducted to try and understand the basis underlying addiction. The following is a list of the various articles on this endeavor.

Terry and Kent review the theoretical explanations of how the transition from casual to compulsive drug use happens. They focus on how the use of drugs causes changes to the psychological function of a person leading to addiction. According to them the pleasure from the use of a given drug doesn’t lead to addiction which contrasts the hedonic views of addiction. Another common theory they rule out on transition to addiction is relief from withdrawal symptoms. Aberrant theory is also ruled out in that abnormalities of associate learning do not lead to addiction. They suggest that addiction is brought about by an abnormal generation of incentive salience by the neural system leading to cognitive deficits. Thus according to them addiction starts from the brain itself.

This, he blames to the high availability of drugs in the streets, high use of drugs by adults in the society, traffickers investing more in the trade than the government is investing against the trade, use of children for trafficking and the early age of exposure of children to these drugs. Children have also been identified to indulge in drugs to escape emotional and physical abuse by family members or step-parents. Some of the measures that has been put up to control the epidemic are; creating of rehabilitation programs for street children, treating the addicts by detoxification, governments investing more on the fight of drug trafficking etc. Elsavador is the leading country in the fight of drugs in the region. According to him the fight against drug use in the region is expensive and governments need to work together to conquer it.

Introduction
Drug substance has been used rampantly especially in this current generation compared to the past (Zanky, 1989). Despite having health, social and unethical impacts to individuals and society at large, people are continually using them. This paper will be focussing specifically onto alcohol and tobacco. Alcohol is a drink that is in form of a liquid while tobacco is a substance that is consumed through sniffing. According to a research done by world health organization on drug and substance abuse, six million people die as a result of using tobacco while 2.5M people die from alcohol consumption.
However, people still consume it and the governments have not specifically made it illegal. Governments have come up with strategies to reduce alcohol and tobacco use especially among teenagers and low-income earners by increasing duty on them and consequently raise revenues. These revenues would be used to finance early childhood education on the dangerous effects of alcohol and tobacco use.

FINAL PROJECT 2
Final Project Theory and Topic Selection
Student’s name
The selected topic is to determine why teenagers struggle to fit in their social groups. Some engage in harmful behaviors such as substance use, drinking and smoking just to fit in their social groups. Despite some behaviors having negative effects to their health and wellness, they go to great lengths just to fit. The two selected theories to enhance our understanding of why teenagers behave in certain ways are social identity theory and observational learning theory. The social identity theory tries to explain intergroup behavioral patterns perceived by individuals. Individuals feel they need to be associated with certain groups. They feel they need to be accepted in society thus need social identity. This theory will enhance our understanding why teenagers get engaged in certain harmful behaviors to be accepted by their peers and identify with them.
Observational learning posits that people observe, retain and imitate specific behavioral patterns. They later display behavior and traits similar to those of others in society. This can help illustrate how teenagers who join bad groups end up copying the harmful behaviors they see. Spending time with peers who engage in harmful behavior like drinking is likely to trigger one to replicate such behavior. It all starts with observing then retaining and later replicating what they see.
These two theories enhance understanding of why teenagers behave in certain ways enabling psychologists to develop treatment approaches and public health programs to help teenagers resist joining harmful behaviors. They have powerful influence on our understanding of different aspects of mental health and overall well-being.

The use of alcohol increases the likelihood of using other drugs. Using drugs with alcohol may lead to adverse health conditions. It leads to physical ailments and increases the chances of even abusing illicit drugs. This may cause severe body injuries and brings about hazardous side effects. The use of alcohol and other illegal drugs brings results also in the people surrounding the victim. This is due to the side effects brought about using drugs, and it puts the lives of many at risk, (Gagnon, Jacob, & Holmes, 2010). The use of drugs should not be taken lightly as it may even bring permanent damage to the victim, making him or her life with the guilt. The combined use of alcohol and drugs lead to a condition known as substance abuse.
Substance abuse is a condition that involves the use of alcohol and drugs. The use of alcohol and drug leads to addiction; this is a situation where a victim cannot live or survive without using drugs. This is a terrible condition as it even interferes with the brain of the affected. Prolonged consumption of alcohol and drugs increases the risk of tolerance and dependence on them, (Gagnon, Jacob, & Holmes, 2010). This use begins slowly, but later it becomes a craving for the victim, and he or she feels incomplete if he or she has not consumed both alcohol and the illicit drug. Once a body has become addicted, it cannot function normally if the medicines have not been wasted. This is an awful condition as one tends to be slow when the body is reasonable, and the victim's mind tends not to be sober or tends not to think.
The use of alcohol and drugs, which is commonly referred to as substance abuse, is a condition that is common among the youths. Young people have engaged so much in activities that, according to them, bring pleasure to them. The abuse of drugs is common among them. Some may abuse these drugs due to peer pressure, and according to others, the use of drugs makes them forget all their troubles and leave them feeling "high," a common term they use. These young people tend to be ignorant about the effects this abuse of drugs brings to them,(Gagnon, Jacob, & Holmes, 2010).Young people have engaged themselves in hazardous activities; some of them are even involved in crimes as they do this under the influence of drugs.
The youths ought to be taken care of; many parents seem not to care so much about the child because, according to them, they are grownups. This is very wrong because, due to this mentality, the strict measure is not put across to control young people increase their chances of abusing drugs. Young people, especially those in schools, take advantage of the fact that they are ...

According to a research done by world health organization on drug and substance abuse, six million people die as a result of using tobacco while 2.5M people die from alcohol consumption.
However, people still consume it and the governments have not specifically made it illegal. Governments have come up with strategies to reduce alcohol and tobacco use especially among teenagers and low-income earners by increasing duty on them and consequently raise revenues. These revenues would be used to finance early childhood education on the dangerous effects of alcohol and tobacco use.

Final Project Theory and Topic Selection
Student’s name
The selected topic is to determine why teenagers struggle to fit in their social groups. Some engage in harmful behaviors such as substance use, drinking and smoking just to fit in their social groups. Despite some behaviors having negative effects to their health and wellness, they go to great lengths just to fit. The two selected theories to enhance our understanding of why teenagers behave in certain ways are social identity theory and observational learning theory. The social identity theory tries to explain intergroup behavioral patterns perceived by individuals. Individuals feel they need to be associated with certain groups. They feel they need to be accepted in society thus need social identity. This theory will enhance our understanding why teenagers get engaged in certain harmful behaviors to be accepted by their peers and identify with them.
Observational learning posits that people observe, retain and imitate specific behavioral patterns. They later display behavior and traits similar to those of others in society. This can help illustrate how teenagers who join bad groups end up copying the harmful behaviors they see. Spending time with peers who engage in harmful behavior like drinking is likely to trigger one to replicate such behavior. It all starts with observing then retaining and later replicating what they see.
These two theories enhance understanding of why teenagers behave in certain ways enabling psychologists to develop treatment approaches and public health programs to help teenagers resist joining harmful behaviors. They have powerful influence on our understanding of different aspects of mental health and overall well-being.

The use of alcohol increases the likelihood of using other drugs. Using drugs with alcohol may lead to adverse health conditions. It leads to physical ailments and increases the chances of even abusing illicit drugs. This may cause severe body injuries and brings about hazardous side effects. The use of alcohol and other illegal drugs brings results also in the people surrounding the victim. This is due to the side effects brought about using drugs, and it puts the lives of many at risk, (Gagnon, Jacob, & Holmes, 2010). The use of drugs should not be taken lightly as it may even bring permanent damage to the victim, making him or her life with the guilt. The combined use of alcohol and drugs lead to a condition known as substance abuse.
Substance abuse is a condition that involves the use of alcohol and drugs. The use of alcohol and drug leads to addiction; this is a situation where a victim cannot live or survive without using drugs. This is a terrible condition as it even interferes with the brain of the affected. Prolonged consumption of alcohol and drugs increases the risk of tolerance and dependence on them, (Gagnon, Jacob, & Holmes, 2010). This use begins slowly, but later it becomes a craving for the victim, and he or she feels incomplete if he or she has not consumed both alcohol and the illicit drug. Once a body has become addicted, it cannot function normally if the medicines have not been wasted. This is an awful condition as one tends to be slow when the body is reasonable, and the victim's mind tends not to be sober or tends not to think.
The use of alcohol and drugs, which is commonly referred to as substance abuse, is a condition that is common among the youths. Young people have engaged so much in activities that, according to them, bring pleasure to them. The abuse of drugs is common among them. Some may abuse these drugs due to peer pressure, and according to others, the use of drugs makes them forget all their troubles and leave them feeling "high," a common term they use. These young people tend to be ignorant about the effects this abuse of drugs brings to them,(Gagnon, Jacob, & Holmes, 2010).Young people have engaged themselves in hazardous activities; some of them are even involved in crimes as they do this under the influence of drugs.
The youths ought to be taken care of; many parents seem not to care so much about the child because, according to them, they are grownups. This is very wrong because, due to this mentality, the strict measure is not put across to control young people increase their chances of abusing drugs. Young people, especially those in schools, take advantage of the fact that they are ...

Este documento discute cómo el consumo de drogas en espacios de fiesta actúa como un dispositivo de control y reproducción social. Aunque los jóvenes ven el consumo de drogas como una forma de liberación, en realidad sólo están reproduciendo las normas sociales permitidas por el poder. Las drogas sujetan a los consumidores a relacionarse en ciertos espacios y momentos, y su consumo no innova ni resiste al poder, sino que lo conserva.
Este documento presenta los resultados de un estudio cualitativo sobre las perspectivas de adolescentes españoles sobre el consumo de cocaína. Se realizaron grupos de discusión con consumidores, no consumidores cercanos a consumidores, y no consumidores alejados. Los hallazgos incluyen las motivaciones para iniciar el consumo, los efectos físicos y sociales percibidos, y las opiniones sobre el consumo responsable y la educación sobre drogas desde diferentes perspectivas.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Abstract.
Objectives.
Main Objective: To determine with greater depth and accuracy mechanisms, reasons,
motivation and practices that have led cocaine,for many illegal drug users, to replace other
drugs , thereby making it the main drug consumed among all illegal drugs
Methodology
The methodological approach used is qualitative methodology based on the techniques of
discussion groups (Ibáñez, 1986; Ortí 1986, Alonso, 1998). That is to say, gatherings of 7 or 8
people, with more or less similar characteristics, who speak freely for approximately two hours
about a topic that the group develop, under the coordination of a facilitator. (Conde, 2002).
The discussion groups were analyzed with the help of qualitative analysis software Atlas-ti 5.2.
following the model of segmentation, simplification, categorisation and codification. To find the
results and conclusions of the research conducted, a discourse analysis was carried out on the
body of the text which appeared .
2. Significant results.
Cocaine users prefer this to other stimulant drugs such as MDMA or speed, for several reasons.
The most important are:
Cocaine does not alter food consumption or sleep. It allows users to eat and sleep to a greater
extent than other stimulants. This means that the lows are less intense, allowing users to
perform other activities, suggesting that the consumption of cocaine is compatible with family
relationships, work and social commitments. This implies that there is a low risk of difficult
situations arising since the consumer is socially- standardized. Only when the use is very heavy
is any alarm raised in the users’ social circle.
Many users talk about a love-hate relationship with cocaine, since the pleasurable effects of it
have allowed them to experience enjoyable moments and situations, which are full of strong
emotions and good memories. However, all of them have experienced unwanted effects
produced by cocaine consumption, such as spending beyond their means, anxiety and
psychotic effects, among others. Nevertheless, these situations do not have lasting negative
consequences unless there are severe problems. But it is, by and large, social responsibilities
(getting married, having children, working ...) which make users give up their consumption, or at
least lead them to use cocaine only on special occasions .So, we find that young people are
taking on the role of parents and continuing to consume cocaine.
Conclusions
One of the biggest risks in the consumption of cocaine is the lack of negative effects in the short
term. As a result of having few severe post-consumption effects, users consider that they are at
a low risk because they can continue their normal life. This situation suggests a typical social
belief which underestimates the risks that are run when taking the drug.
