Questions

  • In you opinion how important is parental education and relationships within the family in preventing drug addiction?

    Parents and Codependents must have proper awareness about drugs and its effect on the family and drug addict. And they also need some of the life skills trainings, as they have been going through codependency even after the drug user stops using drugs. Parents and codependents need to function normally and they need to focus on their lives. They need guidance through the phase as the drug user recovers the codependent need to recover too.

  • What should be in the Internet age and growth of online communities informational methods to combat drug addiction? What do you think, what means will be most effective today, and how the state should behave in order to successfully affect the suffering of drug addiction and to conduct prevention among healthy population?

    The drug addiction problem lies clearly, as it is progressing from generation to generation. We have been witnessing the destruction throughout our ancestors to the future of the unborn children, of generations to come. It’s sad to see the human kind being destroyed by "Drugs". BUT the Happy news is we can make a difference, and we can prevent our future generations and save the present generations.

    - We need to clearly categorize the effected from the drug addict to the codependent. Society, government and teachers. Male and Female, Adolescents, Teens, Youth, Elder people. So that we can educate and counsel, support and aware them the reality of Drugs.

    - We need to promote the living standards of our countries as we are in the 21st century. We believe that poverty and economic statuses also has a major impact as the people fall, and anti social behavior and drug usage increase.

    - Good nutrition is also essential as children needs to develop their capacity of knowledge not to fall back on the tracks of their predecessors.

    - Proper education- includes Drug education and life skills.
