Drug Abuse

Drug Abuse


DRUGS & ALCOHOL AND YOUR CHOICE

There are all kinds of drugs. Some help people with medical problems and can be bought in any store, right over the counter. Other medicines must be prescribed by a doctor. The alcohol and energy drinks we see advertised everywhere? Those are drugs, too. Then there are illegal drugs like marijuana. Some drugs are helpful. Some can be hurtful, and even deadly. What do all they have in common? They all change how your body works and they should all be taken seriously.

At the end of this program students will learn the following:
  • All drugs, including over the counter medications, prescription medicines, energy drinks, alcohol, and marijuana, effect the way your body and mind work.
  • Over-the-counter and prescription medication can also be harmful if they are misused or abused.
  • Taking medicine prescribed for someone else can be dangerous to your health; it is also illegal.
  • Inhalants are potent chemicals that can have serious, even deadly, consequences.
  • Contrary to popular belief, using drugs can have a negative impact on a teen's social and academic life.

    TEENS AT RISK: ADDICTION AND DEPRESSION

    A lot of depressed people, especially teenagers, also have problems with alcohol or other drugs. Sometimes the depression comes first and people try using drugs as a way to escape. Other times, the alcohol or other drug use comes first, and depression is caused by the drug itself, the withdrawal from it or the problems that substance abuse causes. The important point is that if someone has one or both of these problems, the sooner they get help the better. Teens at Risk teaches how to be honest about both issues - showing how depressed teens can deal effectively with their illness without substance abuse and how to communicate with people who can help them get into treatment.

    CODEPENDENCY, EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE, AND DOMESTIC ABUSE

    The development of a healthy relationship between two people gives them the opportunity to express mutual respect and love for one another. However, being involved in a toxic relationship, one marked by codependency, emotional violence, or domestic abuse, can be emotionally and physically damaging and sometimes even fatal. These unacceptable behaviors must first be recognized for what they are. If a person is able to find the strength to leave a negative relationship and seek counseling, the result can be a gradual recovery of physical and emotional health for abused individuals and their loved ones. This program contains graphic material relating to domestic abuse that may not be suitable for all audiences. Teachers are encouraged to review this program before using it in their classroom.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Students will learn what codependency is, what its characteristics are, who suffers from it, and what its effects are.

    PRESCRIPTION FOR LEARNING: WOMEN WITH ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY - MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK

    By Dartmouth

    This program profiles women of different ages and backgrounds who are in recovery. Though the incidence of alcoholism is slightly less among women than men, once it develops, this disease tends to progress more rapidly in women. Physiological differences quickly put women at a greater risk for physical complications, some of which are unique to women (breast cancer & bearing a child with fetal alcohol syndrome). Powerful, enlightening, excellent for support groups to see and use for discussions.

    UNDER THE INFLUENCE: THE SCIENCE OF DRUG ABUSE

    What happens to our brains when we are high, intoxicated, or dependent on drugs? Why is it so difficult to break an addiction to drugs like cocaine, alcohol, and tobacco? Why have people since the earliest times sought to alter their brain chemistry by getting high? This program closely examines these questions in order to give students insights into the dynamics of drugs, drug abuse, and human behavior. Animation and brain scans as well as interviews with physicians and clinicians present an integrated and fascinating portrayal of the risks and effects of drug abuse in contemporary society.
