VICE AND DRUG EDUCATION AND CONTROL LYEN CAREL T. GARCIA TOP 1 JUNE CLE 2022 DRUGS Any chemically active substance rendering a specific effect on the central nervous system of man. Chemical substance that affects the functions of living cells and alters body or mind processes when taken into the body or applied through the skin. Any chemical substance, other than food, which is intended for used in the diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation or prevention of disease or symptoms (Pharmacological) Is a chemical substance that brings about physical, emotional or behavioral change in a person taking it. (Criminological) The term drug derives from the 14th century French word drogue, which means a dry substance. DRUGS CAN BE NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC/ARTIFICIAL a. Natural Drugs Are active ingredients, secondary metabolic products of plants and other living systems that may be isolated by extraction. Example: Raw Opium, Marijuana, Coca Bush B. Synthetic Drugs Are artificially produced substances, synthesized in the laboratory for the illicit market, which are almost wholly manufactured from chemical compounds in illicit laboratories. Example: Methamphetamine, Barbiturates SEVEN CATEGORIES OF DRUGS The following are the categories of drugs namely: 1. HERBAL DRUGS Are plant substance that have drug effects whose use is not generally regulated by the law. These substances require little processing after the plants are gathered. These drugs may be grown locally. 2. OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS Are commercially produced drugs that may be purchased legally without prescription. These drugs are also known as "propriety drugs". 3. PRESCRIPTION DRUGS Are commercially produced drugs that can be legally sold or dispensed only by a physician or on a physician's order. They are like over-the-counter drugs in that they are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, but they differ, in that the decision to use drugs is legally vested in a licensed physician not in the user. 4. UNRECOGNIZED DRUGS Are commercial products that have a psychoactive drug effects but are not usually considered drugs. These substances are not generally regulated by law except in so far as standards of sanitation and purity is required. 5. ILLICIT DRUGS Are drugs whose sale, purchase prohibited by law. Criminal penalties usually apply to violators of these laws. 6. TOBACCO Is not generally considered a drug, thus, may be classified as an unrecognized drug. However, tobacco holds such a distinct position in terms of usage patterns, economic importance, and health consequences that it merits a category to itself. 7. ALCOHOL Although alcohol may be included in the unrecognized drugs, alcohol in forms such as beer wine, and distilled liquor is one of the most widely used drugs in our society. It is regarded by many experts as the most commonly abused drug in our society. MEDICINES VS. DRUGS All medicines are drugs, but not all drugs are medicinal drug. Medicinal Drugs A substance which when taken into the human body cures illness and/or relieves signs/symptoms of disease THE “SELF-MEDICATION SYNDROME” The “self-medication” syndrome is found in users and would be users of drugs whose sources of information are people or literature other than doctors, pharmacists and health workers. These could be members of the family, relatives, and/or neighbors, all of whom may have previously used the drug for their specific disease or disorder. HOW DRUGS WORK? Most drugs act within a cell, rather than on the surface of a cell or in the extracellular fluids of the body. When two drugs are taken together or within a few hours of each other they may interact with unexpected results. This is one reason a physician should always know the names of all drugs one is using. A DOSE of a drug is the amount taken at one time. The doses taken become an extremely important part of drug abuse. The amount of drug in a dose can be described as: 1. MINIMAL DOSE – amount needed to treat or heal, that is, the smallest amount of a drug that will produce a therapeutic effect. 2. MAXIMAL DOSE – largest amount of a drug that will produce a desired therapeutic effect, without any accompanying symptoms of toxicity. 3. TOXIC DOSE – amount of d rug that produces untoward effects or symptoms of poisoning 4. ABUSIVE DOSE– amount needed to produce the side effects and action desired by an individual who improperly uses it 5. LETHAL DOSE – amount of drug that will cause death HOW DRUGS ARE ADMINISTERED? (ROUTES OF DRUG ADMINISTRATION) The common methods of administration are the following: ORAL INGESTION - The drugs is taken by the mouth and must pass through the stomach before being absorbed into the bloodstream, the one of the most common ways taking a drug INHALATION - Drug in gaseous form enter the lungs and are quickly absorbed by the rich capillary system, it is probably the second most commonly used route of drug administration INJECTION - The drug can be administered into the body by the use of syringe and hypodermic needle in the following ways. Subcutaneous (SC) - Drug is administered by injecting the drug just below the surface of the skin; this is sometimes called “skin popping.” Intramuscular (IM) - Administration involves the injection of a drug into a large muscle mass that has a good blood supply, such as the gluteus maximus, quadriceps, or triceps. Intravenous (IV) - The most efficient means of administration which involves depositing drug directly into the bloodstream, this is also the most rapid method of drug administration. SNORTING - Inhalation through the nose of drugs not in gaseous form, it is sometimes inhaling a powder or liquid drug into the nose coats of the mucous membrane. BUCCAL - The drug is administered by placing them in the buccal cavity just under the lips and the active ingredients of the drug will be absorbed into the bloodstream through the soft tissues lining of the mouth. SUPPOSITORIES - The drug is administered through the vagina or rectum in suppository form and the drug will also be absorbed into the bloodstream. THE CONCEPT OF TOXICOLOGY A drug may cause effects because of any of the following: 1. Overdose – when too much of a drug in taken, there may be an over extension of its effects. 2. Allergy – some drugs cause the release of histamine giving rise to allergic symptoms such as dermatitis, swelling, fall in blood pressure, suffocation and death. 3. Idiosyncrasy – for unexplained reasons, morphine, which sedates all men, stimulates and renders some women some maniacal. Perhaps the phrase “catty woman” has pharmacological basis since most mammals are sedated by morphine but some cats become extremely excited by it. 4. General Protoplasmic Poison Property – drugs are chemicals and some of them have the property of being general protoplasmic poisons. 5. Side Effects – some drugs are not receptors for one organ but receptors of other organs as well. The effect in the other organ may constitute a side effect, which is unwanted. THE MEDICAL USE OF DRUGS Analgesics relieve pain. However, they may produce the opposite effects on somebody who suffers form peptic ulcer or gastric irritation. Antibiotics combat or control infectious organisms. Ingesting the same antibiotics for a long time can result in allergic reactions and cause resistance to the drug. Antipyretics can lower body temperature or fever due to infection. Antihistamines control or combat allergic reactions. People who on antihistamine therapy must not operate or drive vehicles since these drugs can cause drowsiness. Contraceptives prevent the meeting of the egg cell and sperm cell or prevent the ovary from releasing egg cells. Pregnant women must not take birth control pills to avoid congenital abnormalities. This advice also applies to women suffering from heart disease, varicose veins, breast limps, goiter and anemia. The effectiveness of oral contraceptives may be reduced when taken with antibiotic. Decongestants relieve congestion of the nasal passages. Prolonged used of these decongestants might include nasal congestion upon withdrawal. Expectorants ease the expulsion of mucus and phlegm from the lungs and the throat. They are not drugs of choice for the newborn that does not know to cough the phlegm out. Laxatives stimulate defecation and encourage bowel movement. They should not be given to pregnant women and those suffering from intestinal obstruction. Taking purgatives (stronger than laxatives) unnecessarily might result in rupture of the intestines or appendix if there is an obstruction. Constant use might make the intestines sluggish. Sedatives and tranquilizers calm and quiet the nerves and relieve anxiety without causing depression and clouding of the mind. Precautions must be taken in the use of tranquilizers since they can cause impairment of judgement and dexterity. Vitamins are food substances necessary for normal growth and development and proper functioning of he body. WHEN ARE DRUGS HARMFUL? Any drug may be harmful when taken in: Excess; Dangerous combinations; By hypersensitive (allergic) person DRUG ABUSE Deliberate use of medically useful drugs which have the capacity to alter mood and behavior without the benefit of a prescription. It refers to the use of a medically useful mood-altering drug for a purpose different from the one for which the drug has been indicated. It refers to the use of a drug with such frequency that it causes physical or mental harm to the user or impairs social functioning. WHAT ARE THE GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF DRUG ABUSERS 1. Situational Users – those who use drugs to keep them awake or for additional energy to perform an important work. Such individual may or may not exhibit psychological dependence. 2. Spree Users – school age users who take drugs for “kicks’, an adventurous daring experience, or as a means of fun. There may be some degree of psychological dependence but little physical dependence due to the mixed pattern of use. 3. Hard Core Addicts – those, whose activities revolve almost entirely around the drug experience and securing supplies. They show strong psychological dependence on the drug. 4. Hippies – those who are addicted to drugs believing that drug is an integral part of life. REASONS WHY PEOPLE TURN TO DRUG ABUSE POVERTY This is the most prevalent factor that prompt pushers and abusers alike to indulge in dangerous drugs Pushers were forced by the circumstances to the retailing of prohibited drugs as a meant or source of livelihood Many abusers use dangerous drugs as a vehicle to escape the realities of poverty and its related problems. IGNORANCE Lack of knowledge and information about how dangerous drugs look like, their bad effects, legal ramifications or consequences and other aspects of prohibited drugs PARENTAL INFLUENCES Unhappy home, parents showing little or no interest in their children, Abuses committed by parents such as harsh physical punishments Lack of parental values; parents who are permissive and liberal; parental neglect; domestic violence; role modeling. D. PEER INFLUENCES Drug using friends encourage, pressure even, a youth to experiment with drugs. E. PERSONALITY FACTORS Curiosity or the desire to experience a new state of consciousness Escape from physical and mental pain, relief from boredom and frustration, and desire to escape from harsh realities Unable to conform to social standards; weak personality or low sense of self-esteem. THE 7 DEADLY SINS - PRIMARY CAUSES OF DRUG ABUSE 1. PRIDE – excessive feeling of self-worth or self-esteem, sense of self- importance. 2. ANGER - unexpressed, deep-seated anger against himself, his family, his friends or the society in general. 3. LUST – burning sexual desire can distort the human mind to drug abuse. 4. GLUTTONY – “food trip” in the lingo of junkies 5. GREED – wealth, fame, recognition as exemplified by people under pressure in their work of art, such as musicians, actors, athletes who indulge in drug abuse. 6. ENVY – to get attention from someone: as a sign of protest envy is a major cause of drug abuse. 7. LAZINESS –“ I can’t syndrome”, incapacity to achieve – the breeding ground of drug abuse. Boredom coupled with poor self-image PROCESS OF DETECTING DRUG ABUSERS The detection of drug abuse involves five processes namely: a. OBSERVATION b. HISTORY TAKING (Note: The best information is from the patient himself) c. LABORATORY EXAMINATION d. PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION e. PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION Intelligence Test Personality Test Aptitude Test Interest Test Psychiatric Evaluation DRUG DEPENDENCE Also called as DRUG ADDICTION. The users continue to take a drug over an extended period of time. The users find it difficult to stop using the drug. The users stop taking their drug – only if their supply of the drug is cut off, or if they are forced to quit for any reason – they will undergo painful physical or mental distress. (Withdrawal Syndrome) Drug dependence may lead to drug abuse – especially the illegal drugs TYPES OF DRUG DEPENDENCE PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE Can only be visible when drug intake is decreased or stopped and an involuntary illness called the withdrawal syndrome occurs. FORMS OF PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE Tolerance Occurs when the body becomes accustomed to a drug as the drug is repeatedly taken in the same dose. It now requires ever- increasing larger doses to achieve the same desired effect. Addiction Severe craving for the drug even to the point of interfering with the person’s ability to function normally. PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE Exhibited when a user relies on a drug to achieve a feeling of well-being. Habituation Characterized by continuous desire for a drug. A person believes that the drug is needed to function at work or home because drugs often produce an elated/ excited emotional state. DRUG TRAFFICKING Otherwise known as DRUG TRADE Generally refers to the sale and distribution of illegal drugs It refers to the illegal process through which narcotics and other illegal drugs are produced, transported, and sold. Drug/Illegal Trafficking is the illegal cultivation, culture, delivery, administration, dispensation, manufacture, sale, trading, transportation, distribution, importation, exportation and possession of any dangerous drug and/or controlled precursor and essential chemical.

Yet, it is said that this method has proven effective in more than half of the cases. THE PSYCHOTHERAPY METHOD This cure depends upon showing that the real problem of the alcoholic is not the Alcohol itself but the emotional problem that led the alcoholics to drink. This method therefore, aims to eliminate these emotional tensions. Through therapeutic interviews, it undertakes to make the alcoholics aware of why he drinks and to provide him with the strength necessary to combat his problems. THE PROGRAM OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS This method is based on conversion and fellowship. It emphasizes that alcoholics understand alcoholism better than anyone else Man is dependent upon God and must turn to Him for help; that the alcoholic must sincerely desire to stop drinking He must admit that he is an alcoholic and cannot drink in moderation.

Their operation appears to be a legitimate business entity mostly under the protection of crooked policemen or law enforcement authorities and their location is prominently known to all their customers. They have number of small rooms with the prostitutes staying there at where they wait for customers. At times, the house provided with secret exits ready for escaping in case of police raids. FURNISHED ROOM HOUSE Usually operated by an experienced “madam” who rent rooms to legitimate roomers in order to maintain an appearance of responsibility Purposely, the madam leaves several rooms not rented to legitimate roomers for ready use of the prostitution.

These prostitutes are sometimes the newcomers in the business who do not earn much as attendants or massagists. CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF PROSTITUTION THE SCHOOL OF REGULATORY CONTROL This method maintains the idea that we cannot do away with prostitution unless we consider the problems and remove the causes of prostitution. The following regulatory policy has been adopted to provide the necessary protection for the society. Segregation of brothels and soliciting to restricted districts. Public licensing of houses of prostitution Registration of prostitutes to protect them from the exploitation of white slave trade Periodic medical examination of prostitutes and public health education.

That arrest of prostitutes be handled by non-police agencies but should betaken care by social workers and medical men. Finally, the rehabilitation of prostitutes by providing them jobs and facilities to earn a decent living. THE SCHOOL OF TOTAL REPRESSION This method believes that prostitution is both a crime and a vice and therefore, should be repressed and totally prohibited.
