Questions

  • Doctors tend not to talk about "recovered drug addicts," and prefer the term "inactive addicts" those who dont use drugs right at given moment. In your opinion, is it not possible to get rid of this label? Even in the opinion of drug treatment experts, patients remain forever addicted. How can the modern society be taught to have an adequate attitude toward former drug addicts and consider them as a part of the society?

    Anyone who stopped using drugs is a normal person and he should not be treated based on his past. Those people should be integrated into the society because they are human beings like us. It is a big mistake to treat as an item.

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

    Parents should be closer to children and treat them as equals, to treat all children equally, without favoring any of them, protect them from psychological crises and bad companions involved in drug abuse or drug trafficking.
