ABSTRACT
Among the social and medical ills of the twentieth century, substance abuse ranks as on one of
the most devastating and costly. The drug problem today is a major global concern including
Bangladesh. Almost all addictive drugs over stimulate the reward system of the brain, flooding it
with the neurotransmitter dopamine. That produces euphoria and that heightened pleasure can be
so compelling that the brain wants that feeling back again and again. However repetitive exposure
induces widespread adaptive changes in the brain. As a consequence drug use may become
compulsive. An estimated 4.7% of the global population aged 15 to 64 or 184 million people,
consume illicit drug annually. Heroin use alone is responsible for the epidemic number of new
cases of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis and drug addicted infant born each year. Department of narcotic
control (DNC) in Bangladesh reported in June 2008 that about 5 million drug addicts in the
country & addicts spend at least 17 (Seventeen) billion on drugs per year. Among these drug
addicts, 91% are young and adolescents population. Heroin is the most widely abused drugs in
Bangladesh. For geographical reason like India, Pakistan and Myanmar; Bangladesh is also an
important transit root for internationally trafficking of illicit drug. Drug abuse is responsible for
decreased job productivity and attendance increased health care costs, and escalations of domestic
violence and violent crimes. Drug addiction is a preventable disease. Through scientific advances
we now know much more about how exactly drugs work in the brain, and we also know that drug
addiction can be successfully treated to help people stop abusing drugs and resume their
productive lives. Most countries have legislation designed to criminalize some drugs. To decrease
the prevalence of this problem in our setting; increase awareness, promoting additional research
on abused and addictive drugs, and exact implementation of existing laws are strongly
recommended.
INTRODUCTION
his clinical case involves a man with unhealthy alcohol and drug use who presents for an initial visit
to primary care with complaints of heartburn and a recent admission for chest pain. Four expert
clinicians contribute their thoughts about the case. Our organization is Innovative International
College.
ORGANISATIONAL BACKGROUND
Before officially hiring a candidate, organizations often conduct background checks, such as
employment verification, reference checks, and education verification, to determine their
suitability for the position. But, do background checks include drug testing?
Whether or not drug testing is included in pre-employment background checks is often
completely up to the prerogative of the company. However, there are cases where it is
required by law, particularly for safety-critical industries, such as healthcare, transportation,
and law enforcement. In the United States, transportation workers, truck drivers, and
machinery operators are legally required to undergo pre-employment drug screening.
Generally, there are no laws that prohibit private organizations from subjecting their
candidates and employees to drug testing. Still, there are limits to how they can conduct it.
NARRATIVE
Malaysia has a serious drug problem. The 137,176 addicts registered with the
National Anti-Drugs Agency (Nada) may not blink the danger we are in, but its
estimate of one million who remain outside its rehabilitation system may. And here
is how low substance abuse can get.
Yesterday, this newspaper reported the sad story of a 7-year-old, who just started school,
being addicted to syabu and methamphetamine.
There is an even more tragic story in the telling of Nada. Between 2019 and last year, infants
— yes, babies — were found to be suffering from drug addiction, passed on by breastfeeding
mothers hooked on drugs.
Yes, it is a bad, bad situation. Each year it gets worse. Studies by universities, health
authorities and research institutions show that peer influence, parental behaviour and poverty
being some of the contributory factors to drug abuse.
Policymakers must zoom in on these, especially the poverty bit. According to an article
published on April 3 last year in the International Journal of Environmental Research and
Public Health, the government spends over half a billion ringgit every year to rehabilitate
addicts, including housing and treating them.
