The College of Administration and Economics, through the Follow-up Department in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and the Friends of the Interior Department, organized a workshop titled “Drugs: The Scourge of Our Era,” presented by Lieutenant Colonel Abbas Nazim.<\/p>\n
The event aimed to raise community awareness about the dangers of drugs, how to prevent them, and the role of society in combating this scourge. It focused on educating attendees about the health, social, and psychological harms caused by drugs, as well as informing them about the different types of drugs, how they affect the body and mind, and ways to prevent addiction and available treatment options for addicts. It also emphasized the vital role of family and society in fighting the spread of drugs.<\/p>\n
The workshop covered several key topics, including the different types of drugs (natural drugs, synthetic drugs, and mind-altering drugs), the impact of drugs on the central nervous system and the brain, as well as the various harms they cause, such as health impacts like weakened immunity, chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, brain damage, and psychological effects like depression, anxiety, and personality changes. The social consequences of drug use were also discussed, such as deteriorating family relationships, job loss, and declining educational performance. The causes of drug use were identified as psychological and social pressures, including peer pressure, family problems, poverty, recreational use, or a lack of awareness about the deep harm caused by drugs.<\/p>\n
The speaker recommended effective approaches and methods for dealing with addicts, such as specialized clinics, treatment centers, therapeutic programs, and psychological and social support, including group and individual therapy. He emphasized the importance of continuous follow-up by doctors and specialists and stressed the need for collective efforts between the family, community, and government to combat drugs. This issue does not only concern the individual but the entire society, and everyone must take responsibility and work together to reduce the spread of drugs and provide the necessary support for addicts to help them recover and reintegrate into society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
