REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE

Drug addiction particularly among teenagers and young adults, has become a serious

public health problem globally. Drugs with addictive potential include the non-therapeutic

drugs that are licit/legal (caffeine, tobacco, or nicotine, alcohol) and those that are illegal for

common use such as benzodiazepines, amphetamines, cocaine and crack, heroin and cannabis,

worldwide, the challenge of cannabis abuse and addiction is particularly devastating. Despite

this ugly scenario, the use of cannabis continues unabated and its control remains enigmatic.

The aim of the present review is to provide a contemporary comprehensible overview of

exciting recent developments in the understanding of brain circuits related to the nature and

effects of cannabis abuse and addiction as well as to highlight to current therapeutic approach

to effective management.

A thorough review of manual literature and internet articles; it was found that recent

advances in the neurobiology of drug abuse and addiction have led to the identification of

neuronal substrates as being responsible for the rewarding effects of cannabis and are also

crucial to the addictive process/behavior. There is increasing evidence that prolonged exposure

to drugs of abuse including cannabis produces long lasting effects in cognitive and drug

rewarding brain circuits. Hence, addiction is now generally considered a chronic brain disease

chronic use of cannabis impairs cognitive functions, perception, reaction time, learning,

memory, concentration, social skills and control of emotions .The may also be panic reactions,

hallucinations, paranoid states with fixed delusions and even a cute psychosis. This implication
for the operation of a motor vehicle or machinery and performances at school or workplace as

well as the development of a healthy family is a strong national economy and a secure society.

Complications of use, including psychosis and withdrawal effects, can be treated .Psychosocial

measures and rehabilitation; together with effective prevention initiatives are essential in the

management of individuals with drugs related problem.

Cannabis abuse and addiction is destructive and may affect all of our lives and the fabric

of the society. The development of long-term management strategies based on medication,

psychosocial support and continued monitoring as well as preventive initiative to reduce risk

factors and strengthen protective factors against drug abuse is a challenging clinical goal.

The literature ,the following risk factors for drug abuse by adolescents were identified

biological predisposition to drug abuse personality traits that reflect a lack of social bonding a

history of low quality and consistency of family management ,family communication ,family

relationships and parental role modeling a history of being abused or neglected ,low

socioeconomic status emotional or psychiatric problem significant stressors and/or inadequate

coping skill and social support history of associating with drug-using peer resection by pro social

peers due to education failure at school a history of anti-social behavior and delinquency and

early initiation to drug use.

A review of the literature on the factors affecting drug prescribing in western countries

is given factors discussed are education advertising colleagues control and regulation measures

demands from society and patients and doctor’s characteristic on the basic of the available

literature the role of the drug industry seems especially important.

 In order to help shed greater light on the possible impact of portrayals of substance

abuse in popular media this report examines research on the frequency and nature of media

portrayals of the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs, and more briefly on the few studies

that have examined the effects of exposure to such portrayals, particularly effects on children

and adolescents.

Opioids have proven very useful for treatment of acute pain and cancer pain, and in the

developed countries opioids are increasingly used for treatment of chronic non-malignant pain

patients as well. This literature review aims at giving and overview of definitions, mechanisms,

diagnostic, criteria, incidence and addiction in opioid treated pain patients, and

recommendations regarding addiction.

Addiction is a disease that affects your brain and behavior. When you’re addicted to

drugs, you can’t resist the urge to use them, no matter how much harm the drugs may cause.

Drugs addiction isn’t about just heroin cocaine, or other illegal drugs. You can get addicted to

alcohol, nicotine, opioid painkillers, and other legal substances .At first you may choose to take

a drug because you like the way it makes you feel. You may think you can control how much

and how often you use it .But over time, drugs changes can last a long time. They make you

lose self-control and can lead you to damaging behaviors.

The effects of drugs generally dependence on social systems has helped shape the

generally held view that drug dependence is primarily a social problem, not a health problem.

In turn medical approaches to prevention and treatment are lacking .We examined evidence

that drug including alcohol dependence is a chronic medical illness. Drug dependence produces
significant and lasting changes in brain chemistry and function. Effective medications are

available for treating nicotine, alcohol, and opiate dependence but not stimulant or marijuana

dependence. Drug dependence should be insured, treated and evaluated like other chronic

illness.

Gender socializations are overlooked as a primary factor in the development of

alcoholism, addiction, and other compulsive behaviors among women. This paper reviews the

literature regarding women and alcoholism/addiction suggesting a feminist critique. The paper

also offers some alternative interpretations of gender-role conflict and gender socialization as

critical factors in the development of addiction among women.

INTERPRETATION

The respondents feel that they need a drug or alcohol in order to function properly in

their daily life .That’s why it is hard for them to control their drug use. Even though it is hard

for them but they does not hide that they use drug from their friends or relatives .According to

respondents drug can cause physical , emotional , psychological , family ,social, and financial

problems. It also makes a person aggressive In my findings respondents often use drug .When

they use they mostly sniff it than use it in smoking .Drugs cause problems and it also affects the

hygiene of the respondents.

A drug is a disease that affects your brain and behavior. When you’re addicted to drugs; is it

about just heroin cocaine, or other illegal drugs. You can get addicted to alcohol nicotine opioid

painkillers and other substances.

Prevent anyone and everyone from using drugs, there are things we can all do to avoid drug

and/or alcohol abuse. Effectively deal with peer pressure the biggest reason teens start using

drug is because their friends utilize peer pressure. But in the end drugs only make life more

stressful and many of us all too often fail to rec0gnize this in the moment.
 Drug addiction isn’t a character flow or a sign of weakness and it takes more than will

power to overcome the problem .Abusing illegal or certain prescription drugs can create

changes in the brain, causing powerful cravings and a compulsion to use that make sobriety

seem like an impossible goal.
