Drug misuse and abuse can have negative health and social consequences. There are several types of drugs including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, illegal drugs, and drugs like tobacco and alcohol. Drug misuse involves taking drugs improperly, while drug abuse is the intentional improper use of drugs. Strategies to address drug abuse include education, social support, detoxification, and rehabilitation programs. Maintaining good physical, mental, and social health through nutrition, exercise, stress management, and strong relationships can promote overall well-being.

Drug addiction: A complex neurological diseaseSHIVANEE VYAS
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disease that requires integrated treatment of the mind, body, and spirit. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain, they change its structure and how it works. Without treatment, these brain changes can be long-lasting. Addiction is chronic, it is progressive, and if left untreated, it can be fatal.
Individuals struggling with drug addiction often feel as though they cannot function normally without their drug of choice. This can lead to a wide range of issues that impact professional goals, personal relationships, and overall health. Over time, these serious side effects can be progressive, and if left untreated, fatal.
Understanding drugs and addiction By Mzwandile Mashinini mzwandile mashinini
the presentation is based on drugs and addiction, we first start of by defining the terms drug and addiction, then discus the different kinds of drugs available to humans and finally we highlight some of the consequences of addiction together with a treatment plan . all the sources consulted that have been consulted are sited on the reference section
With the high occurance of dual diagnosis (mental health diagnosis and substance use disorder), CooperRiis uses a integrated approach in order to address both conditions simultaniously. This approach is multidiciplinary as well as holistic; we address the biopsychosocial and spiritual aspects for our residents. Working towards true recovery is optimal, not just abstinence. This integrated approach has proven to be more effective through research, as treating these conditions separately often leads to relapse.

DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.
