Drug Awareness Presentation
This document provides information about drugs and their effects. It defines drugs as substances that affect the body and brain, and notes that not all drugs are illegal. It then discusses different types of drugs like depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens, providing examples of each and their effects. The document also addresses why people use drugs, signs of drug use, and what can be done to help someone with a drug problem.
Drug addiction and drug abuse
- Drug addiction and abuse refers to the chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance to alter states of body or mind for non-medical purposes. This includes both licit and illicit drugs.
- Addiction is compulsive drug use despite harm, while substance abuse refers to frequently using drugs like alcohol and inhalants that can be addictive.
- Dependence involves psychological need for a drug and physical tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. Addiction affects the reward pathway in the brain.
- Drug abuse has negative effects on individuals, families, and society through health issues, crime, and lost productivity.

Neurobiology of addiction,
This document discusses the neurobiology of addiction. It explains that addiction is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with genes accounting for 30-60% of vulnerability. All drugs of abuse activate the brain's reward system by increasing dopamine transmission in the nucleus accumbens. Chronic drug use leads to adaptations in dopamine function and glutamatergic transmission that result in impaired reward processing, craving, and compulsive drug-seeking behaviors even after periods of abstinence. The persistence of addiction is thought to be due to long-term remodeling of synapses and circuits involved in associative memory formation and storage.
Neurobiology of addiction
Drug addiction is characterized as a chronic brain disorder involving compulsive drug use despite negative consequences. It progresses through stages from impulsivity to compulsivity as driven by dopamine release in the reward system and shifts from positive to negative reinforcement. Genetics contribute 40-60% to risk through specific gene variants affecting drug metabolism and receptor activity. Environmental factors like early life stress, family history of addiction, and peer influences also impact vulnerability through interactions with genetics. The transition from experimentation to addiction often occurs during adolescence due to incomplete prefrontal cortex development.
Austin Journal of Drug Abuse and Addiction
Austin Journal of Drug Abuse and Addiction is an open access, peer reviewed, scholarly journal dedicated to publish articles in all areas of drug abuse and addiction treatment.
The renowned team of guest editors ensures a balanced, expert assessment of the articles published, with an aim to provide a forum for physicians, researchers and other healthcare professionals to find most recent advances in the areas of addiction treatment.
ALL ABOUT DRUGS ( Final Presentation)
The document discusses various topics related to drugs, including drug education, addiction, trafficking, and categories. It defines drug education and discusses the history and production of drugs. It then covers drug addiction in more detail, explaining causes and effects on the brain. Drug trafficking is summarized as the illicit global trade of prohibited substances, and examples are given of marijuana and methamphetamine production in the Philippines. Finally, the seven legal categories of drugs are outlined.
Physiology of drug addiction
This document summarizes the physiology of drug addiction. It begins by defining drugs and discussing drugs of abuse. It then describes the nervous system and components like neurons, neurotransmitters, and receptors. It explains how drugs act on receptors in the reward pathway in the brain, especially stimulating dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens. Repeated drug use can cause tolerance, dependence, and reward deficiency as the brain adapts. Addiction involves changes in neurobiology and loss of control over drug intake despite negative consequences.
Presentation drugs
This document discusses drug abuse and addiction. It defines a drug as any substance used for medical purposes and defines addiction as habitual and uncontrolled dependence on a substance. It classifies types of drugs and their examples and discusses how drug addiction often begins due to factors like curiosity, peer pressure, depression, or a desire for excitement. The document specifically examines tobacco and nicotine, noting tobacco's origins and the stimulant and relaxing effects of nicotine but also its risks like increased heart disease and reduced fetal growth. It also looks at alcohol, explaining reasons for drinking like social pressures or wanting to escape difficulties in life. The overall goal is to raise awareness of the harmful effects of drugs.
Power Point Drug Abuse
The most common drug is marijuana. Marijuana use is increasing while opium and cocaine use are decreasing. The year 2000 saw the highest rates of drug use according to the document.
DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION PRESENTATION
This document discusses the dangers of drug abuse, including addiction, health problems, and death. It notes that drugs can affect each person differently based on their brain chemistry and prior drug exposure. Common signs of drug abuse are listed, such as declining interest in activities, mood swings, and associating with known drug users. The most commonly abused drugs in the Philippines like methamphetamine, marijuana, and inhalants are described along with their short and long term negative health effects.
PDEA Lecturematerial
- The document summarizes key points from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) on the country's drug laws and enforcement efforts. It was signed into effect on July 4, 2002 through RA 9165 to reorganize the drug enforcement system.
- PDEA was created as the implementing arm of the Dangerous Drugs Board for efficient enforcement of drug laws. The document provides an overview of different types of drugs, their usage and effects, as well as profiles of drug users in the Philippines. It encourages public support and reporting of illegal drug activities.
Drug abuse ppt
The document discusses drugs, drug abuse, and addiction. It defines drugs as substances that alter normal bodily functions when absorbed into the body. It notes that drug abuse is an intense desire to obtain increasing amounts of a substance and that drug dependence results in physical harm and behavioral issues over the long term. The document also shares the story of a teenager named Alby who abused drugs from ages 13 to 18 but was able to get treatment and now feels better about himself. It discusses surveys and activities conducted by students on these topics, including visiting a rehabilitation center.
Addictions presentation
This document discusses addiction, including definitions and issues. It describes addiction as maintaining a relationship with something despite known negative consequences. Key issues discussed are health impacts on individuals and families. A 12-step program is presented as one strategy for wellness. Counselors face challenges in treating addiction, but also have strengths, and self-care is important to prevent burnout.
Drugs power point
This document discusses drugs and their effects. It defines a drug as any chemical that affects the body's functioning. It notes that heroin, alcohol, ecstasy, caffeine and nicotine are all forms of drugs. Drugs must pass through the body and into the brain to change brain cell functioning by interfering with neurotransmitters. Drugs can make people less aware and alert, and can relieve pain, but can also cause sleepiness, convulsions, comas and even death. Hard drugs are physically addictive and easy to overdose on, while soft drugs are not physically addictive. Illegal drugs are classified as Class A, B or C depending on their penalties for possession and dealing. The document provides signs that someone
