    NSTP 1 Module 4

    Drug Education
    Objectives
    On your successful completion of this module, you are expected to:
    1. Identify the legal bases of drug prevention and control
    2. Identify the classifications of controlled substance
    3. Identify the causes of drug addiction
    4. Be aware of the campaign made by the government to prevent drug abuse

    This module focuses on the social problem called drug addiction. People have always been
    curious about the world and experiment with anything and everything to make life better and more
    comfortable. Scientists have discovered remedies that can treat pain and illness and promote good
    health and longer life. In ancient Egypt, physicians prescribed berries like figs and dates mixed with
    castor oil as laxatives while the Chinese and Greeks used opium for its pain-relieving properties. The
    Hindus resorted to cannabis and henbane leaves as an anaesthetic. In modern society, drugs treat
    medical and psychological disorders. To determine whether a substance is a drug is to know its uses. For
    example, alcohol is a beverage, but it is also considered a drug used for relaxation, to remove
    inhibitions, or to stimulate appetite.

    Caloma(2004) states that drug dependence is the overuse of a drug without due regard to
    accepted medical practice resulting in the individual’s physical, mental, emotional and behavioural
    impairment.

    Drug is defined as follows according to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA):
    1. Clinical definition – Drug is therapeutic substance other than food used in the prevention, diagnosis,
    alleviation, treatment or cure of disease in humans or animals.
    2. General definition – Drug is a substance aside from food intended to affect the structure or function
    of a physiological system like the human body.
    3. Popular definition – Drug refers mainly to chemical or plant-derived substances the affect the body’s
    psychological, behavioural, or physical functions and leads to varying degrees of dependence or
    addiction.
    Drug addiction pertains to dependency on drug. Unpleasant withdrawal symptoms appear
    unless the person is taking the substance. Addictive drugs make a person crave for or make him/her feel
    an overwhelming urge to continue taking drug, even after withdrawal symptoms have disappeared.
    Drugs change the way the body and the brain functions. Sometimes, the results are pleasant as
    in the case of prescription medications that are used to treat various conditions and diseases. However,
    there are also times when the results are terrible and cause great harm to one’s body and well-being.
    Thus, it is wise to know that not all drugs are harmful or are always safe. It is more important,
    however, to recognize if you are addicted to drugs. Serious consequences can result from the use of
    both illegal drugs and prescription medication.
