ABSTRACT
Scotland is in an emergency state due to the access amount of drug addicts. The
number of drug-related activities routes in Scotland has grown steadily, and the number
of corridors has grown steadily since 1990. Scotland was given the title of “World
Capital against Drugs” - an unprecedented level of Scotland, higher than any other
European country and almost several times higher than the UK as a whole. Drug use is
known to be a real and evolving problem that needs to be understood by drugs, social
counselling and drug paraphernalia. This book also takes a fundamental stance on such
populist considerations and the decline in drug use as one of the many regular
technology focus on taking drugs without treatment in search of illegal drugs. The data
show that there are some social figures and the potential stigma of finding them as
illegal drug addicts who are deliberately uncontrolled using different methods. The book
examines how and how socially dependent drug users differ from public treatment in the
search for drug addicts. To build this understanding, several guards were prominent and
number of sufficiently old congresses (21-52) and geological areas in Scotland. Balance
provided rich information were held. The meetings have been postponed and viewed
specifically from a social perspective. The revelations show how deliberately hidden
differences and the monitoring of the dangers of drugs, drug policies and possible
shame and stigmatisation by the social universe have been exposed in the wrong place.
The fair results of the results and suggestions for future research are discussed.

CHAPTER-1: INTRODUCTION
Scotland has high ratio exposure to alcohol and drug use. Since the 1980s,
studies have seen a huge increase in alcohol consumption and, as a result, an increase

Scots bought enough alcohol so that adults could drink 19 units of alcohol every week.
This corresponds to about 40 cans of vodka or about 100 cans of wine a year. In
general, all adults in Scotland drink 36% more every week than the. In any case, it is
difficult to estimate the number of people who use illegal drugs. A recent study on drug
prevalence in Scotland in 2015-2016 found that it was between 5500 and 58.900. 2
The use of drugs and drugs is characterised by the dangerous use of drugs
(drugs and illegal use of methadone) and the illegal use of benzodiazepines. In general,
high-risk drinks cause about 686 clinic certifications and 22 deaths per week. In total,
there were more than 1,136 non-alcoholic and 1,187 drug-related ones in Scotland in
2018. 75 percent of the people who switched were older than 35 and far from growing
up. Because drug use has become devastating over time. Alcohol and drug damage
affects a part of the population without being more serious than others. Temporary
regulations for short-term alcohol are almost higher for the smallest rejection than for
the least rejected alcoholism, but the ratings of medical institutions are many times
higher.3

Until 1916 drug use was not really controlled and the generally accessible arrangements of opium and
cocaine were typical. Sometime between 1916 and 1928, concerns over the use of these drugs by troops
during the outbreak of World War I and later by people linked to the black market in London led to
some investigations. However, the transmission and use of morphine and cocaine, and later cannabis,
have been condemned, and these drugs have been made available to relatives of specialists. This
process became known as the "English Board" and was confirmed by the 1926 report by Morphine and
Heroin Addiction (Rolleston Commission). Rolleston's report comes from a period of almost forty years

There is evidence that they are mixed when women are quite sensitive to

finding that focused mainly on the fact that women seeking drug treatment were
generally younger than men, regardless of the onset or comparable period. Some
sources indicate that women may need help from administrators who are not committed

that confirm that women who have access to treatment achieve comparable or better
results for men, although there appears to be limited evidence due to circumstances. 29

Several studies limited in Scotland have shown that women who use drugs must
be carers and have a duty to protect children from men who use drugs. The difficulty
with this inconsistent duty was highlighted by a woman in the OPDP project, as
mentioned below. On the other hand, the children also felt positive and provided
organisation, daily schedule and inspiration for recovery. 32 A possible source of injury
for women who use drugs is the lack of guardianship over the safety of children by
young people. Some authors have thought that the passionate impact of young child

However, the rate of drug-related deaths is generally higher in women, reflecting the
lower mortality rates in women in general. It is uncertain what explains the higher
incidence of drug-related deaths amongst men. Part of the difference can be expressed
through different representations of social and logical dangers: for example, men have
to surrender and take custody of drug users, both important factors for the risk of dying
from drugs.37 In all cases, a study by the UK Medicines Association showed that the risk
of fatal drug-related harm in women was far 30% lower than that in men, by age and
status.
There is also evidence that the effects of realistic risk factors and defense factors
vary by gender.38 For example, treatment periods are a real DRD risk factor, but these
relationships show all signs that they are more sensitive to women than to men, with the
aim of making women less at risk of DRD with external diseases. Aging is also an
