  1. I- DECIDE CLUB OF D.A.V PUSHPANJALI PRESENTS WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS ON “DRUG ABUSE”

  2. Objective of The Program • To prevent onset of drug use among young people. • To involve stakeholders & influencers (Schools, NGOs, like minded individuals) to be part of the program. • To provide young people with authentic information and knowledge that would clarify their doubts and address their problems. • To bring about changes in attitudes and values of young people to enable them to make positive life choices. • To equip the young people with the skills needed to deal effectively with addictions.

  3. 2004 NATIONAL DRUG SURVEY REPORT ON “Extent, Pattern and Trends of Drug Abuse in India” Prevalence Dependency ‘Vol. of Work’ Under 18* ALCOHOL 62.5 m 16.8% 10.5 m 21% CANNABIS 8.7 m 25.7% 2.3 m 3% OPIATES 2.0 m 22.3% 0.5 m 0.1% * MSJE/UNODC National Household Survey

  4. Survey findings • Alcohol, cannabis and opiates are the major substances of abuse in India. • Prevalence of drug abuse among males is significant but drug abuse among women exists. • Hazards and burden on women due to drug abuse is significant. • Pockets of high use exist. • Drug abuse no longer an urban phenomenon – even IDU seen both in rural and urban areas. • Number of dependent users ‘not in treatment’ is significant. • Significant gap in service delivery.

  5. An important finding from the prevention perspective From those who have “ever” used substances, one finds that the following percentage continue to use the following drugs. • 80% for alcohol • 70% for cannabis • 65% for opiates Hence, experimenting is dangerous and the drugs habit, once initiated, stays.

  6. Why is prevention important • While some do drugs, there are many who don’t. The majority must stay that way. • Prevention allows people to understand repercussions - helps make informed and healthy choices • Experimenting can be dangerous – drug use habits stay • No one can predict addiction • Can take place in the community • An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure • Success rate of treatment is low • There are not enough beds

  7. Levels of prevention • Primary prevention programs refer to the very broad range of activities aimed at reducing the risk of drug use among non-users and assuring continued nonuse. • Secondary prevention targets at-risk groups, early experimenters and abuse populations in order to stop the progression to drugs of abuse • Tertiary prevention is intervention at an advanced state of drug use/abuse. Very similar to drug abuse treatment.

  8. The main goals of prevention • Target young people before they start using substances • Discourage or stop use in those young people who are already experimenting or using

  9. INFORMATION E D U C A T I O N ALTERNATIVES INTERVENTION TREATMENT PREVENTION INTEGRAL PART OF LIFESTYLE NON-USE EXPERIMENTAL RECOVERY REHABILITATION\ RELAPSE PREVENTION INITIAL DRUG EXPERIENCE OCCASIONALLY FREQUENT USE DRUG ABUSE MAINTENANCE OF DRUG FREE LIFESTYLE TREATMENT

  10. When do people start using drugs? • Research has shown that those who use drugs, start doing so during adolescence • Drug use starts with ‘softer drugs’, progressing gradually to ‘harder drugs’ • Not all who start ‘softer drugs’ go on to use ‘harder drugs’

  11. What is Adolescence The term adolescence comes from the Latin word adolescere, which means "to grow up" or "to grow to maturity." adolescent: 10 - 19 years youth : 15 - 24 years

  12. EVERYTHING HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE Psychological (and emotional) growth Effects of Physical Changes Social Maturation Educational Development

  13. As an Initiative to Prevent students from drug abuse, We have initiated a club called “I DECIDE”The students from class 6th to 12th will participate in the same. Slogan – “I decide”

  14. Factors Contributing to the Vulnerability of Adolescents

  15. PEER PRESSUREContinuous goading and pestering for something by friends is called peer pressure.Peer pressure is difficult to resist for (i)  Fear of isolation or rejection(ii) Fear of being made fun of by friends and others(iii) Fear of being blackmailed or termed as weak personality. . “IT WASN’T MY FAULT, MY FRIENDS MADE ME DO IT”

  16. CURIOSITY AND EXPERIMENTATION It is natural for young people to experiment out of curiosity. ‘Just try once’ is a characteristic statement of adolescence when among friends and can lead to addiction.

  17. MYTHS ABOUT SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE Young people may go for drugs due to false beliefs such as - Taking drugs indicates high social and economic status.- Taking drugs makes one superior to others- Taking drugs makes one feel confidante and independent

  18. FAMILY FACTORS Elders taking drugs in front of children or selling drugs- Easy availability of drugs at home.- Elders offering alcohol or drugs to young people for fun.- Lack of communication and education about hazards of drugs.- Family dysfunction Divorce Separation Inadequate parenting skills (inconsistent)- Parents try to cover up their child’s bad habits.

  19. ESCAPISM- People take drugs when they can not cope with everyday life situations- To get rid of depression- To escape boredom- To forget family problem- Because of emotional insecurity.- To get relief from long illness, aches and pains

  20. BOREDOM OR DEPRESSIONPeople take drugs because of- Absence of social and recreational activities.- Emotional, social or financial insecurity- No one to share problems with- Lack of discipline and self control

  21. Risk & protective factors in the drug use scenario • Risk factors: characteristics of an individual, or the community one comes from, that encourage or are linked to substance abuse • Protective factor: characteristics that discourage or are NOT linked to substance abuse

Classification of Drugs • Medicinal: Improper use of prescribed or over the counter medicine (cough & cold remedies) can lead to serious health complications. • Non- Medicinal: They are solely used because of their ability to alter the person’s mental and physical state (Alcohol, Cigarettes, Pan Masala etc.). Non availability of these drugs make person feel bad and have an intense craving for the drug. • Effect on the central nervous system (depressants, stimulants & hallucinogens)
