The Impact of Drugs on Society and its Combating in Law

This discussion delves into the critical, early stages of substance abuse to empower families and the community with knowledge. It is divided into two key parts:

• The Initiation of Addiction and Parental Mental Perceptions: This segment explores how addiction first takes root. We will examine the social and psychological factors that lead individuals, especially youth, to experiment with drugs. Crucially, it also addresses the “parental mental perceptions”—the warning signs that families often miss, the common misconceptions about drug use, and how a family’s awareness and early intervention can be the most powerful tool in prevention.

• Dependence-Based Addiction: This section explains the transition from initial use to a full-blown dependency. We will break down how the body and mind become chemically and psychologically reliant on a substance, making it incredibly difficult to quit without help. This understanding is vital for recognizing the seriousness of addiction and the need for professional treatment and support.

Join us to gain essential insights that can help in safeguarding our youth and strengthening our community against the threat of drugs.
