    Drugs are substances that can change a person's physical or mental state. People use drugs for various reasons including fun, peer pressure, and dependence. Drug abuse causes many problems including negative health effects, increased crime, and addiction which prevents normal functioning in society. Education about the dangers of drugs can help prevent abuse by teaching children and communities about the risks of drug use and the harm they can cause. For those already addicted, drug-free treatment programs using detoxification and life skills training can help people recover from addiction and rebuild their lives and relationships. While drugs pose major challenges, education and treatment options provide ways to weaken their hold on individuals and society.

    What are drugs?

    Drugs are substances that change a person's physical or mental state. The vast majority
    of drugs are used to treat medical conditions, both physical and mental. Some, however,
    are used outside the medical setting for their effects on the mind.

    Why do people use drugs?


    People use drugs for many reasons—for fun or excitement; to feel good, better or
    different; to counteract negative feelings; because they are bored or curious; because
    their friends or family do it; or because they have a dependence on the drug. Often
    people who use drugs associate with other people who use drugs. It is not always clear
    which comes first— the friends or the drugs.

    Problem
    Drug abuse causes multiple problems for countries and communities.The medical and
    psychological effects are very obvious.Addicts cannot function as normal members of
    society. They neglect or abuse their families, and eventually require expensive treatment
    or hospitalization.

    The second effect is on crime.Huge police resources are needed to fight smuggling and
    dealing. Criminal gangs and mafia underworlds develop with the money from drugs.

    Solution

    The price of addiction - loss, isolation and despair. An addict loses the love of family. He
    sees all his loving relationships destroyed. His self-respect sinks to new lows. Honesty
    becomes a thing of the past as he does anything he can to find the next fix or the next
    drink, lying to and manipulating family and friends. Anyone who knows him has no
    trust of him at all.

    We all know that drugs are problems that grossly affect society, communities,
    individuals and their families today. Children of a young age get swept up into the
    horrors of drug abuse when peers encourage them to “just try this. You’ll feel great!” The
    false information about drugs is rampant in today’s world. The kids who don’t really
    know what drugs are and the harm they can do can too easily end up addicts, forever
    ruining their lives. However, this does not have to be the case. There is an answer.

    Drug education is vital in any community - in schools, churches (mosques) or any


    groups that might benefit from this information. Drug education teaches kids the
    dangers of drugs and what drugs can do to their lives. When children learn these
    valuable tools at a young age it stays with them throughout their lives.

    When an addict has already fallen into the trap of drug addiction, there may seem to be
    no way out and recovery can seem unreachable. But is it? Using a drugless treatment,
    the recovering addict isn’t just having one addiction replaced with another. With a
    unique detoxification that removes drug residues from the body, the recovering
    individual cleans out his body. His mind becomes clearer and his outlook on life
    changes. Life skills courses are the final step, teaching the addict how to repair damage
    done and rebuild a new life.

    An addicted person can recover their love of family. They can rebuild positive
    relationships. They can regain a new level of integrity and personal honesty. They can
    earn the trust of others. They can begin to feel real affection and love for themselves.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, although the problem of drugs may seem impossible to eliminate, there
    are concrete steps that can be taken to weaken the hold of drugs on society.The danger
    from drugs is too great to ignore for us and our children.
