Addiction is a chronic brain disease, not a moral failing. While initial drug use is often voluntary, over time drugs rewire the brain in ways that compromise self-control and increase cravings. No single factor determines addiction risk, which depends on a combination of biological, environmental, and developmental influences. The more risk factors one has, the more likely drug use could develop into addiction.

drug addiction/awareness about drug addiction
This document summarizes a presentation on drug addiction. It defines drug addiction as the body becoming dependent on stimulating substances. Addiction progresses through initial, premature, mature, and decaying stages. Common drugs in Bangladesh include heroin, phensidyl, weed, chorosh, bhang, sedxuene, and yaba. Causes of addiction include experimentation, inability to cope with crises, biochemical or mental health issues, easy access to drugs, social pressures. Suggestions to address addiction include raising public awareness through various means, encouraging parental guidance, and reforming administration and law enforcement agencies involved with drug trafficking.
ALCOHOL ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH
Title IX Corner: Alcohol Abuse Awareness Month provides an opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of alcoholism, its causes, and recovery.
Drug Addiction Pharmainfo
The document discusses the neuroscience of drug addiction, including the brain regions and neurotransmitters involved in reward pathways that can become dysregulated with chronic drug use. It covers the stages of the addiction cycle and various animal models used to study different stages. The summary also outlines pharmacological and behavioral therapies used to treat drug addiction.
Addiction Risk And Protective Factors
This document discusses risk and protective factors for substance abuse from individual, peer, family, school, and community levels. It identifies factors such as low self-esteem, inappropriate coping skills, peer drug use, family history of drug abuse, academic failure, and drug availability as increasing risk, while bonding to pro-social values, social competence, clear family rules, school commitment, and community involvement reduce risk. The document advocates a multidisciplinary approach incorporating available community resources to prevent co-occurring disorders.
Definition
The document defines alcoholism as a chronic, progressive disease where a person has lost control over their drinking to the point where it is interfering with important areas of their life like family, friends, work, school, or health. Alcoholism is described as a disease because it has predictable stages of progression, is considered permanent once control over drinking is lost, and is treatable through abstinence and long-term support. While physical addiction occurs in a small percentage of alcoholics, the definition is based on the consequences of drinking rather than physical addiction.
SOC 204 Chapter 3
The document summarizes Chapter 3 of Goldberg which discusses motivations for drug use. It finds that curiosity, boredom, escape from problems, social factors, and rebellion are the main motivations. It also notes that characteristics of drugs can reinforce continued use through altered states of consciousness. Societal, community, and family factors influence initial use while drug factors influence continued use. Peer influence is important for many young people but parental influence remains significant. Experimentation is common among youth due to natural curiosity. Drugs are also used for pleasure/escape from boredom, social interaction, self-discovery, and rebelliousness against societal norms.

Substance abuse edited!
This document discusses substance abuse, including types of drugs like marijuana, LSD, ecstasy, and cocaine. It outlines the effects of each drug and common causes of substance abuse like peer pressure, stress, and imitating celebrities. The impact of drug abuse is described as physical and psychological risks, behavioral changes, poor school performance, and potential addiction. Strategies for prevention include teaching prevention in schools, after-school programs, drug education, and strengthening societal norms against drug use.
Effects of Drugs on the Brain
The document summarizes research on how drugs of abuse affect the developing adolescent brain. It finds that the prefrontal cortex, which governs judgment and decision making, matures last between ages 18-24. It also finds that adolescent brains are more susceptible than adult brains to the reinforcing and cognitive impairing effects of alcohol, and more sensitive to its social disinhibiting effects. The implications are that understanding adolescent brain development can enhance prevention programs by educating youth and their parents.
Drugs Among Youths
There are three main reasons why drugs have become dominant among youth: curiosity, peer pressure, and family problems. Due to a lack of education about drugs, youth experience curiosity but are pressured by peers to try drugs without understanding the negative effects. Family problems, such as lack of parental attention or communication, can also influence youth to turn to drugs. Solutions include tightening drug laws, increasing police enforcement, offering rehabilitation programs, and educating both youth and parents about the dangers of drug use.
Our exhibition
The document reviews research on young people's illicit drug use in Australia against the criteria of normalization thesis. National surveys suggest around a third of Australian young people have tried illicit substances, most commonly cannabis. While experimentation may not always lead to problems, any drug or alcohol use can have adverse effects depending on amount, combinations, health, age and other individual factors. The document also outlines short and long-term physical, social and emotional effects of drug and alcohol use.
Prevention of substance use and abuse
Drug use is still a concern in the Philippines. According to a 2008 study, Filipino males are 10 times more likely to use drugs than females. Teenagers are vulnerable to drug use due to several risk factors. While some drugs have medical purposes, others can lead to abuse, addiction, illness and death when misused. Drugs alter brain function and how a person thinks and processes information. There are healthy alternatives to drugs such as sports, hobbies and other activities. Commonly abused drugs in the Philippines include shabu, marijuana and inhalants.
Quinones
The document discusses addiction as both a psychological and physiological disorder caused by triggers and circumstances that initiate addictive behaviors which are further reinforced by physiological dependence. Treatment addresses both the psychological and biological aspects through programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and emphasizes the role of spirituality. Careful examination of the original spiritual vision and intent of AA is important and points to a different understanding of addiction.
Addictiondiseasemodel 100626143625-phpapp01
This document discusses addiction as a disease model. It begins by asking clients if they view addiction as a disease. It then discusses why people experiment with drugs and how experimentation can lead to addiction. Key aspects of addiction are defined, including physiological dependence, obsession, and compulsion. The cycle of addiction is presented, showing how it progresses from use to craving and continued use despite problems. Signs of dependence according to the DSM-IV are outlined. The document argues that addiction meets the criteria for a disease due to identifiable patterns of signs and symptoms that impair functioning. It ends by eliciting client feedback on viewing addiction as a disease.
Brain Science
This document summarizes research on drug addiction and its effects on the brain. It finds that addiction is a chronic brain disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite negative consequences. Addiction involves changes in brain structure and function that can last a lifetime if left untreated. Research shows that drug use changes the brain in fundamental ways by disrupting the brain's reward system and other neurotransmitter systems like dopamine and serotonin. Prevention and treatment strategies must address addiction's biological and behavioral aspects.
Chapter 16 Prevention Of Substance Abuse
- Prevention efforts for substance abuse traditionally focus on primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions. Primary prevention aims to prevent initial use, secondary focuses on early identification of problems, and tertiary refers to treatment for those with substance abuse issues or dependence.
- There are three major models of prevention: the sociocultural model aims to influence social norms, the distribution/consumption model focuses on restricting availability, and the proscriptive model prohibits availability and advocates total abstinence.
- Common prevention strategies include education programs in schools, mass media campaigns, and programs targeting at-risk groups like college students where binge drinking leads to health, academic, and legal problems for many.
Alcohol use and_hi_vaids_treatment
Alcohol use can negatively impact adherence to antiretroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS treatment and success of the treatment. Persistent alcohol use can lead to a chaotic lifestyle and issues like depression, antisocial personality disorder, and emotional circumstances, which are desirable to address before commencing therapy. Alcohol use also impairs liver function and should be avoided in individuals with Hepatitis C. A study found that 28% of a sample reported weekly intoxication from alcohol, which was associated with older age, marital status, sexual behaviors and tobacco use.

Substance abuse
Substance abuse, especially of alcohol and drugs, is a significant and growing problem in South Africa. Drug use rates are double the world average, and drug abuse contributes to 60% of crimes. Teenage substance abuse is also high, with half of schoolchildren experimenting with drugs as early as age 12. Preventing and addressing substance abuse requires efforts at the individual, family, school, and community levels through education, building life skills, enforcing rules, providing treatment, and promoting pro-social activities to support youth.

Negative Effects of Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Drinking too much alcohol can lead to alcohol poisoning and damage the liver over time, severely impacting judgment and decision making. Drug abuse is extremely addictive, directly reduces productivity, and makes it harder to get healthcare or commit crimes, while many drugs can lead to cancer according to government studies. Sources include information on the negative effects of substance abuse.
Poisoning smoking 2012.
Smoking is responsible for 5 million deaths worldwide each year, with half of all long-term smokers eventually dying from tobacco use. Tobacco use is influenced by neurochemical, environmental, and individual factors. Nicotine acts on the brain's reward system and cues in the environment like peer pressure and advertising can influence tobacco use. Genetics also play a role, as psychiatric disorders are associated with higher rates of tobacco dependence. Treatment involves both pharmacotherapy like nicotine replacement therapy and non-pharmacologic interventions like counseling, with the combination of treatments being most effective at helping smokers quit.
Substance related disorders
The document discusses several topics related to substance abuse including:
1. Common signs of substance abuse disorder including spending excessive time obtaining or using substances and continued use despite social or medical problems.
2. Potential medical complications of alcohol abuse like peripheral neuropathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, and cirrhosis of the liver.
3. Differences between alcoholism and alcohol abuse.
4. Ethical issues doctors may face like over-prescribing addictive drugs or failing to refer patients for treatment.
substance and alcohol abuse
This document discusses drug abuse and dependence. It defines drugs, drug abuse, and drug dependence according to WHO. It notes that an estimated 12-20 million people in the US smoke marijuana and 30-50% of high school students have used marijuana. Dependence-producing drugs have the capacity to cause dependence. Prevention approaches include legislation, education, and providing alternative community activities for youth. Treatment involves identification, detoxification, counseling, rehabilitation, and vocational training to prevent relapse.

Drug Abuse and Addiction
This document discusses drug abuse in Malaysia. It provides statistics showing that drug abuse is a major social problem, with over 300,000 registered addicts and an estimated total of 1 million addicts in Malaysia. The most commonly abused drugs are opiates, making up 67% of drug abuse, followed by marijuana at 17%. Youth from 15-24 make up 79% of drug abusers. Genetic and environmental factors both contribute to susceptibility to drug abuse.
5 myths about drug abuse and addiction
The document discusses 5 common myths about drug abuse and addiction. Myth 1 is that overcoming addiction is simply a matter of willpower, but prolonged drug use actually alters the brain in ways that result in cravings and compulsion to use. Myth 2 is that addiction is an uncontrollable disease, but treatment can help reverse brain changes. Myth 3 is that addicts have to hit rock bottom first, but recovery can begin at any stage and earlier is better. Myth 4 is that treatment has to be voluntary, but coerced treatment can also be successful as thinking clears. Myth 5 is that relapse means treatment failure, but it's a signal to adjust the treatment approach.
Drug addiction
This document discusses drug addiction and the role of dopamine. It notes that all abused drugs increase dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens. While initial hypotheses suggested tolerance and dependence were due to changes in opiate receptor levels, it is now understood that physical dependence involves separate opioid mechanisms. Dopamine is implicated in both "liking" and "wanting" drug rewards, and different dopamine pathways in the nucleus accumbens are involved in each. Stress and environmental factors can also influence drug addiction by increasing dopamine levels and sensitizing dopamine responses.
Drug Addiction by Jerry Valderrama
This document discusses addiction as a disease. It states that addiction affects not only the addict but their entire family. Addiction is described as a brain, spiritual, and emotional disease characterized by an overpowering need for mood-altering substances. The disease follows a predictable course and is chronic/permanent unless arrested through treatment. Recovery requires abstinence, personality change, and achieving support.

Fiscal Policy
Fiscal policy involves changes to government spending and taxes to influence economic activity. Expansionary fiscal policy includes increasing spending or decreasing taxes, while contractionary policy means decreasing spending or increasing taxes. The purpose is to achieve long-run growth, full employment, and stable prices. While tax increases may raise revenues up to a point, the Laffer Curve shows revenues decline beyond a certain tax rate as incentives to work and invest diminish.
Fiscal policy
Fiscal policy refers to a government's taxing, spending, and borrowing policies. It aims to manage the economy through manipulating levels of public expenditure, taxation, and public debt. The key instruments of fiscal policy are public revenue (taxation), public expenditure (spending), and public borrowing (loans). Governments use fiscal policy to achieve objectives like economic growth, full employment, and controlling inflation. There are two types: automatic stabilizers that operate without government action, and discretionary policies that involve deliberate changes to taxes and spending to stabilize the economy. However, fiscal policy faces challenges like the time it takes to have an effect, problems with tax policies, and the burden of public debt.

Anti Drug Campaign
The document discusses how drug addiction affects one's quality of life in several negative ways, including biologically, socially, and financially. Addiction takes a toll on the body's health and functioning over time as tolerance builds and larger doses are required. Socially, drug use damages relationships and social networks as friends and family may distance themselves. Financially, the costs of sustaining a drug habit are high and addiction makes it difficult to maintain employment and housing. When combined, these factors reinforce each other and accelerate addiction. Inpatient treatment can help alleviate these negative impacts.

"You Use, You Lose": An SHS Student Advocacy
Addiction is a chronic brain disease caused by drug use that disrupts the brain's communication system. Drugs either imitate or overstimulate the brain's natural chemical messengers, particularly dopamine, and can lead to compulsive drug seeking behavior. While initial drug use is often voluntary, continued use changes the brain in ways that challenge self-control. Risk factors like genetics, environment, and age influence a person's vulnerability to addiction. Prevention through education is key to reducing drug abuse.
The Condition of Being Human
The document discusses the human condition of vulnerability and what causes addiction. It states that while individuals cannot always be blamed for addiction, certain personality traits can make some more prone to addiction. Addiction affects the brain's reward system by flooding it with dopamine for a "high" that becomes increasingly needed over time. Theories suggest some individuals use drugs to self-medicate mental illnesses or cope with stress, trauma, or inability to express emotions normally. Abnormalities in social development can also contribute to addiction susceptibility if developmental milestones are missed. While most dangerous addictions are to drugs and alcohol, any rewarding activity can potentially become addictive.

This document discusses drug addiction and related topics. It begins by defining drug addiction as a chronic disease affecting the brain where a person feels compelled to use drugs repeatedly regardless of the harm. It then discusses the stages of drug addiction from initial curiosity to drugs becoming the center of a person's life. The document also covers drug abuse, causes of drug use, symptoms of abuse, treatment options, and the differences between addiction, abuse, tolerance, and dependence.
Addiction disorders
Addiction is characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences. It is considered a brain disorder rather than a moral failing. There are many types of addiction including substance addictions like alcohol, drugs, and prescription medications as well as behavioral addictions like gambling, eating disorders, gaming, pornography, social media, and sex. Each type of addiction affects the brain in a way that compels repetitive behaviors even in the face of negative consequences.

NIDA-Addiction
This document provides an overview of drug abuse and addiction from a scientific perspective. It discusses how drugs change the brain in ways that can lead to compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences, defining addiction as a chronic brain disease. Early drug use and environmental factors like peer influence and family issues can increase risk of addiction, while protective factors reduce risk. Adolescence is a critical time for prevention efforts because drug use during this period of brain development can have long-lasting impacts. Research-based prevention programs work to boost protective factors and reduce risk factors in order to prevent drug abuse and addiction.
What is addiction?
An addiction is a chronic dysfunction of the brain system that involves reward, motivation, and memory. It’s about the way your body craves a substance or behavior, especially if it causes a compulsive or obsessive pursuit of “reward” and lack of concern over consequences.
Busting The Myths-Relapse Isn’t Treatment Failure
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) describes addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive drug-seeking behavior despite knowing its harmful consequences. Since the chemicals of the drugs change the chemistry of the brain, addiction is commonly considered a “brain disease.” Due to such long-lasting changes, the problem of witnessing a relapse persists even after recovery.
Social issues initial responses .pptx
The document discusses several social issues including gambling, drugs, alcohol, and racism. It notes that gambling addiction can be caused by desires for money, thrills, or social status and signs include feeling secretive about gambling or gambling beyond one's means. Drugs affect the brain's reward system and risk factors include genetics, environment, mental health, and early age of first use. Alcoholism develops from chemical changes in the brain that increase pleasurable feelings from drinking and signs include cravings and withdrawal symptoms when not drinking.

Drug Addiction
- 2. Many people do not understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. It is often mistakenly assumed that drug abusers lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop using drugs simply by choosing to change their behavior
- 3. Addiction is a chronic, often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences to the addicted individual and to those around him or her. Although the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary for most people, the brain changes that occur over time challenge an addicted person’s self-control and hamper his or her ability to resist intense impulses to take drugs.
- 4. No single factor can predict whether a person will become addicted to drugs. Risk for addiction is influenced by a combination of factors that include individual biology, social environment, and age or stage of development. The more risk factors an individual has, the greater the chance that taking drugs can lead to addiction.
