2co e of the .e ort,

We ha+e learned to work alon# with team. We also learned to sol+e a roblem with circle. We obser+ed a ractical situation of dru# addiction in !an#ladesh. We ha+e learned much about .e ort rather than learned from the te8t books.

Introduction o% Drug Addiction

ddiction is a chronic$ often rela sin# brain disease that causes com ulsi+e dru# seekin# and use des ite harmful conse/uences to the indi+idual who is addicted and to those around them. 1ru# addiction is a brain disease because the abuse of dru#s leads to chan#es in the structure and function of the brain. *lthou#h it is true that for most eo le the initial decision to take dru#s is +oluntary$ o+er time the chan#es in the brain caused by re eated dru# abuse can affect a ersonAs self control and ability to make sound

decisions$ and at the same time send intense im ulses to take dru#s. It is because of these chan#es in the brain that it is so challen#in# for a erson who is addicted to sto abusin# dru#s. Fortunately$ there are treatments that hel eo le to counteract addictionAs owerful disru ti+e effects and re#ain control. .esearch shows that combinin# addiction treatment medications$ if a+ailable$ with beha+ioral thera y is the best way to ensure success for most atients. Treatment a roaches that are tailored to each atientAs dru# abuse atterns and any co-occurrin# medical$ sychiatric$ and social roblems can lead to sustained reco+ery and a life without dru# abuse. 2milier to other chronic$ rela sin# diseases$ such as diabetes$ asthma$ or heart disease$ dru# addiction can be mana#ed successfully. *nd$ as with other chronic diseases$ it is not uncommon for a erson to rela se and be#in abusin# dru#s a#ain. .ela se$ howe+er$ does not si#nal failure6 rather$ it indicates that treatment should be reinstated$ ad0usted$ or that alternate treatment is needed to hel the indi+idual re#ain control and reco+er.

Drug addiction and t&'e o% drugs

( at is drug addiction)
Drug addiction is a condition characteri5ed by an o+erwhelmin# desire to continue takin# a dru# to which one has become habituated throu#h re eated consum tion because it roduces a articular effect$ usually an alteration of mental status. *ddiction is usually accom anied by a com ulsion to obtain the dru#$ a tendency to increase the dose$ a sycholo#ical or hysical de endence$ and detrimental conse/uences for the indi+idual and society. World :ealth )r#ani5ation CW:)D defines it, Drug is a chemical substance of synthetic, semi synthetic or natural origin intended for

diagnostic, therapeutic or palliative use or for modifying physiological functions of man and animal. * dru# abuser can under#o different sta#es of tastin# a art from normal lifestyle. 1ru# abuse can decay normal human senses throu#h dee feelin#s. It creates different ty es of e8citement both in the body and mind. Finally$ it makes a erson assionate to dru#s. In the lon# run the user has to increase the dose day by day. 4eo le usin# dru#s #o throu#h se+eral sta#es on their way to full-blown addiction, Stage *+ TheyEre curious about dru# use> they may ask /uestions or ask to 0oin those usin# dru#s. They willin#ly listen to stories about the effects of dru#s. They watch others obtainin# dru#s or usin# them. 2ta#e -, They e8 eriment with dru#s and disco+er the effects. This is usually social$ recreational use carried out as art of a #rou $ usually on weekends. The eer ressure of the

FA THE RO2E OF SOCIA2 (ORKER

2ocial worker has a +ital role in the re+ention of dru# addiction. They can do it in three hases. *wareness 4hase What can social worker do in the awareness haseK It is the duty of social worker to create awareness amon# youn# eo le$ articularly students and arents as well. :e e8 lains the dark effects of dru#s to the youn#er one and shows the sym toms of an addict to the arents.

Treatment 4hase The most im ortant task of the social worker be#ins at this sta#e. What are his duties when a erson became addictK The first thin# which has to be done is that the social worker has to identify the addicted erson in the society. *fter the identification he will moti+ate him for treatment in any 1ru# *ddiction Treatment <entre C1*T<D. This can be done throu#h moti+ational counselin#. When the client reaches the 1*T<$ he will also hel him in takin# admission. *fter deto8ification and medicated re+ention$ the real work of the social workers be#ins. When the client becomes conscious of his en+ironment i.e. when the oison is remo+ed from his body$ social worker inter+iews the atient. The aim of the 1st inter+iew is to #et information about the client. :e tries to find out what were the causes which lead him for addiction. :e asks the client of his ast. :e also tries to find out the otentials$ ca abilities$ weaknesses and limitations of the client. :e looks for the resources i.e. his family$ friends and other resources. %ow when social worker has a com lete study of the case$ and has sufficient knowled#e about the client and his roblem$ he then dia#noses him. :e looks for the alternati+es so that his client s ends his leisure time in those acti+ities. In the

Its is time that e8 erienced and /ualified doctors and health rofessionals come to the aid of the addict in our society$ and #i+e #enuine and rolon#ed treatment and care. 1ru# treatment is intended to hel addicted indi+iduals sto com ulsi+e dru# seekin# and use. Treatment can occur in a +ariety of settin#s$ in many different forms$ and for different len#ths of time. !ecause dru# addiction is ty ically a chronic disorder characteri5ed by occasional rela ses$ a short-term$ one-time treatment is usually not sufficient. For many$ treatment is a lon#-term rocess that in+ol+es multi le inter+entions and re#ular monitorin#. !ecause dru# abuse and addiction ha+e so many dimensions and disru t so many as ects of an indi+idualEs life$ treatment is not sim le. "ffecti+e treatment ro#rams ty ically incor orate many com onents$ each directed to a articular as ect of the illness and its conse/uences. *ddiction treatment must hel

the indi+idual sto usin# dru#s$ maintain a dru#free lifestyle$ and achie+e roducti+e functionin# in the family$ at work$ and in society. !ecause addiction is ty ically a chronic disease$ eo le cannot sim ly sto usin# dru#s for a few days and be cured.

Most atients re/uire lon#-term or re eated e isodes of care to achie+e the ultimate #oal of sustained abstinence and reco+ery of their li+es.
