Egypt’s drug problem spirals out of control – 17 Oct 09

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:38:20 +0000

According to Egypt’s National Council for Fighting and Treating Addiction, six million people from Egypt’s population are addicted to narcotics.

The United Nations says Egypt is a major transit point for trafficking between South East Asia and Europe, allowing the problem of drug abuse to spiral out of the government’s control.

Last year, Egyptian police managed to arrest at least 50,000 users and dealers and seize tones of hashish, but experts say that applying punitive measures will not solve the countrys drug problem alone.

What are some statistics on the effects of drug abuse?

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 10:18:10 +0000

im doing a project for my high school FCCLA program. It is over the long term effects of juvenile drug abuse and how it effects you. I need more stats on what happens when you use them, not how many use them.

First play this song while you read this.

There’s only 3 places drug addicts end up.
1. Jail
2. Institutionalized
3. Dead

Drug Use Isn’t Criminal

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:08:14 +0000

I do seem to have conflicting views on this subject in this video; I say we need to tackle the drugs trade but also seem to condone the legalisation of drugs. Substance abuse cause huge problems across society and can affect the smallest most hum-drum family to the biggest most powerful nation. The problem however is not the recreational users who take a pill or two at the weekend. It is the trade that should be targeted and not the individual users but to patronise these casual users by saying their use of recreational drugs is an illness is not going to combat anything. Legalisation of drugs is one of the only realistic ways of combating addiction and the shady world around drug trafficking, dealing and usage. It is the society around the drugs that are the problem, not the drugs themselves. To also claim that these drugs are more dangerous than alcohol or tobacco are quite frankly false. Look at the statistics http://www.drugscope.org.uk/resources/faqs/faqpages/how-many-people-die-from-drugs.htm

I also do not believe that legalisation would vastly increase drug usage. All the people who want to take drugs have found out ways of doing it by now, I dont think any flood gates will be opened, they will just stop being labelled the criminals.

Interested in becoming a drug abuse counselor?

admin — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:24:11 +0000

I’ve been really interested for a long time in getting involved with drug abuse counseling. I live in Ohio. I have a BA but in a completely unrelated field (Art History). I can’t even seem to find a volunteer opportunity. I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can start or what organizations I could contact in Ohio or more specifically, in the Columbus region. Thanks for any suggestions!

For general career information: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search ‘counselors’, ’social workers’ or such.

An addictions counselor usually needs many hours of clinical experience on the job before sitting for the examination. This organization should have more info about becoming a certified addictions counselor: http://www.naadac.org
