PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF DRUG ADDICTION
DRUG addiction is one of the most burning problems of modern society. Presently there are 1.5 million brown sugar addicts in India. It is estimated that these will reach to 15 million at the end of this century. It has destroyed the constructive and creative powers of millions of youths. The monster can destroy a person physically as well as mentally, socially and economically too. In several ways it is more dangerous than incurable diseases. Such disease can kill one person but drug abuse can kill the addict as well as cause a great deal of pain and suffering to his near and dear ones.
The "Pleasure' experienced through drugs is very temporary. Very soon all fun gets converted into suffering and agony. It is followed by lying, cheating, stealing and ultimately, craving for the next dose. Several anti-social and anti-national activities are carried out to satisfy one's urge.
The most unfortunate part of drug abuse is the fact that some innocent victims get entrapped into it without their knowledge. For some selfish motive, the drug is given keeping them in the dark. Several such examples have come to light. Even in some cases youngsters were made drug addicts to sustain anti-social activities.
In spite of various kinds of treatments given to drug addicts by psychiatrists and psychologists, only 10 to 20 per cent can completely get rid of the self-destroying habit. For one or the other reason 80 to 90 per cent once again start resorting to drugs. Experts feel that in the near future every school going child will be offered drugs atleast once. Hence it is very essential to inform them about the hazards of drugs.
