 A Concept Paper on Drug Addiction

 Introduction: Uses of drugs are excellent but abuses are frustrating. Drug abuse is undoubtedly one of the primary problems of our society. Many people get addicted to drugs because through this they can get into an euphoria or intense excitement and much happiness. Drug addiction is a complex disease. Quitting drug addiction is not easy but usually takes more than good intentions or a strong will. Drugs change the functionalities of the brain in such a way that one cannot quit it, even who wants to. Taking drugs surely causes various bad effects that ruin the life of an addicted person. Drug users might have been influenced by their parents, friends and their environment. Others are just curious and want to try these prohibited drugs as they think it is adventurous and thrilling. But this experiment eventually turns him to a drug addict. Some people use drugs as an escape to their problems. But as time passes by, they don't notice that they are being an addict. It's hard to stop as drugs are very addictive. There is a Filipino saying, "Lahat ng sobra, nakakasama" meaning “Excess of anything is harmful”. Too much use of prohibited or dangerous drugs will put an addict’s life at risk.

 Description:   According to Drug and Alcohol Information, any substance (other than food) that is used to prevent, diagnose, treat, or relieve symptoms of a disease or abnormal condition. Drugs can also affect how the brain and the rest of the body work and cause changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, or behavior. When a drug is classified as 'illegal', it means that it is forbidden by law. Different illegal drugs affect people and cause adverse effects . An addict may be unpredictable and dangerous, especially for young people. It is a trend of this generation that people have become more judgmental on what they see in our society. People who are problematic tend to find a thing that will help them forget those problems. They use drugs as they think that it will help them solve their problems. But the fact is, it just adds more problems with existing ones. President Rodrigo Duterte assumed office in 2016 and his government launched a nationwide anti drug campaign by the national police. According to former Philippine National Police Chief Ronald dela Rosa, the policy is aimed at "the neutralization of illegal drug personalities nationwide". Three most used and expensive illegal drugs in the country are methamphetamine hydrochloride (known locally as shabu), marijuana, and methylenedioxymethamphetamine, commonly known as ecstasy. As we stated in the action's purpose, this will help those people who use drugs undergo intensive and serious counseling. We will look for the help of police officers and the government to search those people who use prohibited drugs. Support The cost of this project will require a million including the pay of a psychiatrist and the rehabilitation center. Teachers, guidance counselors and parents could also help in counseling those drug addicts.
