Addiction is a biopsychosocial disorder characterized by repeated use of drugs, or repetitive engagement in a behavior such as gambling, despite harm to self and others.
Background: The Gateway Drug Theory suggests that licit drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol, serve as a "gateway" toward the use of other, illicit drugs. However, there remains some discrepancy regarding which drug-alcohol, tobacco, or even marijuana-serves as the initial "gateway" drug subsequently leading to the use of illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin. The purpose of this investigation was to determine which drug (alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana) was the actual "gateway" drug leading to additional substance use among a nationally representative sample of high school seniors.
Methods: This investigation conducted a secondary analysis of the 2008 Monitoring the Future 12th-grade data. Initiation into alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use was analyzed using a Guttman scale. Coefficients of reliability and scalability were calculated to evaluate scale fit. Subsequent cross tabulations and chi-square test for independence were conducted to better understand the relationship between the identified gateway drug and other substances' use.
Results: Results from the Guttman scale indicated that alcohol represented the "gateway" drug, leading to the use of tobacco, marijuana, and other illicit substances. Moreover, students who used alcohol exhibited a significantly greater likelihood of using both licit and illicit drugs.
Conclusion: The findings from this investigation support that alcohol should receive primary attention in school-based substance abuse prevention programming, as the use of other substances could be impacted by delaying or preventing alcohol use. Therefore, it seems prudent for school and public health officials to focus prevention efforts, policies, and monies, on addressing adolescent alcohol use.

Therefore, it seems prudent for school and public health officials to focus prevention efforts, policies, and monies, on addressing adolescent alcohol use.
Background: Given ever-reducing budgets of community and school substance use prevention programs, there is a call for identifying the first substance in the sequence leading to polydrug use.
Methods: Examining data from a nationally representative sample of 2835 United States 12th graders, we sought to determine (1) the first substance adolescents use; (2) order in which adolescents progress through alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use; and (3) impact of age of initial substance use on lifetime and frequency of illicit substance use.
Results: Alcohol is the most commonly used substance, and the majority of polysubstance using respondents consumed alcohol prior to tobacco or marijuana initiation. Respondents initiating alcohol use in sixth grade reported significantly greater lifetime illicit substance use (M = 1.9, standard deviation [SD] = 1.7, p < .001) and more frequent illicit substance use (M = 6.0, SD = 6.5, p < .001) than those initiating alcohol use in ninth grade or later. Overall, effect sizes for these differences were large (eta squared = 0.30 and 0.28, respectively).
Conclusions: Findings underscore the importance of screening for substance use, even among youth enrolled in elementary/middle school. In addition, schoo
Addiction is the disease of the brain. it is believed that it can't be cured and it only depart taking life of the addicted. But addicts can recover no one is hopeless.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

the central nervous system and an appetite suppressant,
described as a euphoric sense of happiness and
increased energy. It is most often used recreationally for
this effect.

accompanied by anxiety and drug-craving.

6. • LSD
• Lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD or acid, is a semisynthetic psychedelic

noticeably altered due to the consumption of
cannabis

9. Addiction can be defined as the
compulsive use of drugs for non-
medical reasons
•Drug addicts may continue using
the drug despite the harm it
causes.
•Inability to control drug use
• Drug addiction can cause an
intense craving for the drug
10. Can be referred to as the BODY reliance on a
medication or substance
11. Physical dependence involves the bodies
need or expectation for the drug. while
addiction is a mental state, it is when the
person wants the drug, their body is not
demanding it but their head is!
12. Tolerance is a state in which a person no longer
responds to a drug the way they usually do.
-Higher doses are needed in order to achieve the
same effect the person usually experiences
-Ex: if a person uses a drug such as morphine or
alcohol repeatedly for a long time , they may
develop tolerance, in this case the person will
need higher doses in order to achieve the same
effect
13. • Drug addiction is a brain disease.
Although initial drug use might be
voluntary, drugs of abuse have
been shown to alter gene
expression and brain circuitry,
which in turn affect human
behavior. Once addiction
develops, these brain changes
interfere with an individual’s ability
to make voluntary decisions,
leading to compulsive drug
craving, seeking and use.
14. • The impact of addiction can be
far reaching. Cardiovascular
disease, stroke, cancer,
HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and lung
disease can all be affected by
drug abuse. Some of these
effects occur when drugs are
used at high doses or after
prolonged use, however, some
may occur after just one use.
15. • Lack of motivation and drive
• Feelings of anger and resentment
toward others
• Drastic changes in eating and
sleeping habits
• Unwillingness to deal with
personal problems, causing them
to become worse
• Emotional instability
• Desire to experiment with various
drugs
16. • Drugs are expensive. This is due to how difficult
they are to produce and the fact that they are
legally restricted substances. The effect of
tolerance means that drug addicts need larger
doses over time which requires spending more and
more money on the drug. However, the social and
biological effects make it harder for addicts to
have money. Addicts may lose friends, families,
and jobs, leaving them without income or a
support network. This leaves them with few
alternatives to obtain the money they need for
their addiction. Many turn to theft, prostitution, or
similar means to get enough money for their
substance
