9 Case Study 1 Raman, Robin and Rina, students at one of our local colleges, are all good friends. Robin used to live in the hostel nearby and during the fall, came down with a bad cold. The doctor prescribed him a cough syrup. Robin was soon cured. When Robin was ill, Raman and Rina used to visit his room regularly to check on him and see how he was feeling. Once during such a visit, while Robin was taking his medicine he mentioned its good taste to Raman and Rina. Later, whenever Rina and Raman came to Robin s room, Raman would take some of the cough syrup, thinking it was harmless and just something that tasted good. Soon Raman began to ask others about the cough syrup, and learned that he could purchase from another student on campus who was studying pharmacy. Soon Raman found himself consuming the cough syrup on a daily basis, and on days he did not, he felt uncomfortable, anxious, and ill.

11 Drug: When a pharmaceutical preparation or naturally occurring substance is primarily used to bring about a change in some existing process or state (physiological, psychological, biochemical), it can be called a drug. Any substance that when taken into a living organism may modify perception, mood, cognition, behavior, motor function or any other aspect of physical or mental function can be called a drug.
12 Drug Use: A drug when taken for medical treatment as per the prescription of the doctor constitutes drug use.
13 Drug Misuse: When drugs are not taken as per the direction and doses prescribed by a doctor, it is called misuse. For example, if a prescription requires the users to take one pill every four hours and he or she takes three or six pills every four hours or, self medicates over an extended period.
14 Drug Abuse: When an individual with or without a prescription intentionally takes a substance or prescription drug in an amount or frequency other than what is intended to treat, it is known as drug abuse. Oftentimes, (especially with opiates) casual first use or experimentation with drugs leads to addiction. Over a period of time, drug abuse damages the physical and, or mental functioning of an individual.
15
16
17 Dependence: Dependence is a state of physical addiction, which involves increased tolerance, development of withdrawal symptoms when ceasing use, and disruption of psychological, occupational and social functioning.
18 Drug Dependence Drug abuse leads to drug addiction with the development of tolerance and dependence. Tolerance refers to a condition where the user needs increasing amount of the drug to experience the same effect. Smaller quantity that was sufficient earlier becomes ineffective, and hence the user is forced to increase the amount of drug intake at regular intervals. When psychological dependence develops, the drug user gets 'hooked on the drug. The drug user has a continuous and uncontrollable craving for it. Physical dependence denotes a state when the user s body requires continuous presence of the drug. With prolonged use the body becomes so used to functioning under the influence of drug that it is not able to function normally if the drug is absent. After the user becomes physically dependent on drugs, he or she develops withdrawal symptoms, if the intake of drug is abruptly stopped. The withdrawal symptoms may range from mild tremors to convulsions, severe agitation and fits, depending on the type of drug abuse. The intensity of withdrawal symptoms depends on the type of drug abused and the amount and duration of drug intake.

22 Drugs could be categorized as legal and illegal. Legal drugs are those that are prescribed by qualified medical practitioner and they are available off the counter/on prescription. Substances like alcohol, solvents, and some others like glue, correction ink, may be legal in specific contexts, but when these are misused, it would be illegal. It is to be noted that misuse of any drug can lead to addiction. Excessive use of socially accepted substances like tea, coffee, nicotine, can also be addictive and harmful. Certain illegal drugs are used in legally permissible quantities to manufacture drugs/medicines, such as morphine.
23 Category Drugs Socially accepted drugs Caffeine, Alcohol, Nicotine Prescribed Solvents Over the counter drugs & other substances Illegal drugs Opiates, Benzodiazepines, Tranquilizer, Barbiturates, Steroids Glue, Petrol, Benzene, Nail Polish Remover, Correction Ink Cough syrups, Sudafed, Mouthwash, Pain relievers Heroin, Cocaine, Crack, Marijuana,
24 Stimulants Dexedrine and Methedrine, Cocaine, Nicotine, Tobacco Accelerate the brain (central nervous system) and the user may feel alert, full of energy or confident and strong. In higher doses stimulants may lead to anxiety or panic. Mental health problems can occur with increasing use. In cases of serious overdose, death may also occur Depressants Alcohol Slow down activity of the brain and may also have hypnotic effects Sedative- Hypnotics Valium, Xanax, Librium Produce sedative like effects and stupor. This group of drugs produce a relaxing, peaceful and happy feeling. In higher doses, they may lead to drowsiness, decreased concentration, nausea, vomiting and sweating. Further increase in the dose may lead to deep sleep, loss of consciousness and even death. Opiates Heroin, Morphine, Codeine, Methadone, Percocet, Hydrocodone Opiates cause intense pleasure and strong feelings of wellbeing, confusion, pain relief, slowed breathing, decreased blood pressure and heart rate, constricted pupils, dry mouth, suppressed cough reflex, drowsiness, slurred and slow speech, impaired coordination nausea and vomiting.
25
26 Physical Symptoms: Running nose, congestion, coughing. Pale face, circles under eyes Slurring of speech Nausea, vomiting, body pain Messy appearance, lack of cleanliness Drowsiness or sleeplessness, lethargy and passivity Loss of appetite, significant weight loss or gain Injection marks on body
27 Behavior Symptoms: Changing mood, temper tantrums, hostility, defiance Acute anxiety, depression, profuse sweating Blaming, lying, making excuses, emotional detachment Loss of interest in sports and daily routine Impaired memory and lack of concentration Secrecy in respect of possessions and actions
28 Social Symptoms: Withdrawal from family environment and nonparticipation in family work. Sudden lowering of grades in schools, noncompletion of home work, absenteeism Presence of needles, syringes and strange packets at home More time spent in personal room, in the bathroom or away from home
29
30 Experimenters Begin using drugs largely because of peer pressure and curiosity. Usually limit their use to recreational settings. Regular/Compulsive User These are individuals who regularly use harmful substances. They devote considerable time and energy into getting high, talk incessantly about drug use and are likely to know a lot about availability of locally available drugs. Dependent User Repeated use of substances to the extent that user (referred to as an addict) is periodically or chronically intoxicated and will suffer from withdrawal symptoms, if the substance is not consumed.
31
32
33 Some of the factors that make individuals vulnerable to substance abuse are poor self-esteem, low achievement, performance pressure, history of abuse, family history of substance abuse, family instability, and lack of readily available support from family, and friends.
34
35 No one starts taking substances with the aim of getting addicted to them. However, very few people realize that experimentation can lead to addiction. Many of these substances have properties that alter brain functioning and after a point of time, the individual loses discretion and judgment and becomes addicted.
