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?

    In my opinion, the martial art is also very helpful in the rehabilitation process. It improves circulation, relieves stress and gives people a sense of confidence, and this is very important. If a person has no hope that he can fully recover, then even doctors will not be able to help in getting rid of addiction.

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

    The man is weak-willed, and because of this his features, he cannot resist a lot of temptations. Among them is temptations of drugs, and that brings a person only trouble and misleads him. Ability of parents to teach their children the right things plays a very important role in the upbringing of the child. We must convey people that if they start using drugs, they will lose their family, friends, place in the society and all those opportunities which they dreamed of and aspired to. Would they give up all the delights of their lives just to use drugs? It is necessary to explain this to people...

  • 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?

    It is impossible to control the entire internet. Through Internet, people (mostly members of criminal gangs) are engaged in drug trafficking. Worldwide network for them is a great tool not only for the marketing of drugs, but also for finding new victims. All this is happening in today's world in which we live. Nobody can give us the assurance that one day our loved ones or friends will not get into this trouble. So addiction is a problem of humanity and, therefore, the fight must also take place at the global level. Of course, it is impossible to completely eradicate drug abuse, but perhaps we can reduce the number of drug addicts. I think that drug addiction should be solved by : using internet technology to conduct anti-drug propaganda around the world. It is necessary to show the consequences of drug abuse using real examples. People have to be properly informed about the dangers of narcotic drugs. Prevention activities in all educational institutions should be carried out. It is necessary to inform everyone that drugs bring only sorrow and misery.
