 DRUG MENACE
1. DRUG ABUSE. Drug abuse is the use of chemical substance, licit or illicit,
with such frequency which may be detrimental to an individual’s physical,
mental, or social impairment. It may refer to any of the following practices:

a. Using, without benefit or prescription, useful drugs which have the capacity to
alter mood or behaviour;
b. Using drugs and substances for a purpose different from the one for which the
drug has been prescribed;
c. Using drugs and substances having no legitimate medical application for purposes
other than research.
 DRUG MENACE
2. DRUG DEPENDENCY
Drug abuse must be distinguished from drug dependence. Drug dependence is
sometimes called drug addiction, is defined by three (3) basic characteristics
(Groiler, 1995).
1. The users continue to take a drug over an extended period of time.
2. The users find it difficult to stop using the drug. They seem powerless to quit
the drug use. Users take extraordinary and often harmful measures to continue
using the drug. They will drop out of school, steal, leave their families, go to jail
and lose their job just to keep using drug.
 DRUG MENACE
2. DRUG DEPENDENCY
3. The users stop taking their drug – only if their supply of the drug is cut off, or
they are forced to quit for any reason – they will undergo painful physical or mental
distress. The experience of withdrawal syndrome, is a sure sign that a drug is
dependency-producing and the user is dependent on the drug. Drug dependence may
lead to drug abuse – especially the illegal drugs.
 DRUG MENACE
3. DRUG ADDICTION

An addiction is not having control over doing, taking, or using something, until it
becomes harmful. Commonly, there are dependencies on alcohol or drugs, but you
can also become addicted to everything from gambling to chocolates. Being addicted
to something means having a difficult time without it during the day.
 DRUG MENACE
3. DRUG ADDICTION

Drug addiction is a state of mind in which a person has lost the power of self-control
in respect of a drug. He consumes the drug repeatedly leaving aside all values of life.
In other words a drug addict will resort to crime even, to satisfy his repeated craving
for the drug. The effects of addiction are mainly deteriorative personality changers.
They include insomnia, instability, and lack of self-confidence especially when not
under the influence of drug. The addict cannot concentrate on any work. He avoids
social contacts. Slowly, mentally, physically, and morally he becomes bad to worse
and a burden to the society.

 Acquiring the Addiction
The drug habit is acquired primarily in three ways:

1. Association – the tendency of a drug abuser to look for peer groups where he
feels being wanted and accepted.
2. Experimentation – the tendency of person to try and explore the effects of drugs
due to curiosity or other reasons.
3. Inexperienced doctors – the tendency of doctors and physicians to unnecessary
prescribe drugs.
REASONS FOR DRUG ABUSE

2. Family History Genetics

4. Loneliness
5. Peer Pressure

7. Mental Health Disorder
8. Recreation
9. Alcohol isn’t enough
