13. WHY PEOPLE MAY
USE SUBSTANCE?
There are many reasons why young people
may use substances. the Public Health Model
was shown that the effects psychoactive
substances have on individuals depend on and
is a result of interactions between three things:
The individual
The substance
The environment (The “context of use”)

14. The Individual
The knowledge and attitude the individual
may have about substances and their
effects can influence use. The individual's
present coping skills with respect to the
difficulties of life and peer pressure may
also influence their decision to use
substances.

15. The Substance
The existence of a substance creates
a fundamental risk factor. The
composition and nature of the
substance can influence use. The
percentage of ethanol in alcoholic
drinks and their cost, for example,
can influence the decision as to
whether or not to use the
substances.

18. What is
addiction?

19. Drug addiction, formerly known as substance dependence, is a chronically relapsing disorder with a specific character.

20. Character 1
A compulsion to seek and
take a drug,
Character 2
Loss of control in limiting
intake, and
Character 3
Emergence of a negative emotional state
when access to the drug is prevented.

21. THREE TYPES OF DRUG USE
Occasional,
controlled, or
social use,
Drug abuse or
harmful use,
and
Drug addiction as
characterized as
either Substance
Dependence

22. ADDICTIONAS A
BRAIN DISEASE (1)
Addiction is a chronic, often
relapsing brain disease that causes
compulsive drug seeking and use,
despite harmful consequences to
the addicted individual and to
those around him or her

23. ADDICTIONAS A
BRAIN DISEASE (2)
Although the initial decision to take
drugs is voluntary for most people,
the brain changes that occur over
time challenge an addicted person’s
self control and hamper his or her
ability to resist intense impulses to
take drugs

USE DISORDER

25. Drug taking invariably begins with social
drug taking and acute reinforcement and
often, but not exclusively, moves in a
pattern of use from escalating compulsive
use to dependence, withdrawal, and
protracted abstinence.

26. During withdrawal and protracted
abstinence, relapse to compulsive
use is likely to occur with a repeat
of the cycle. Genetic factors,
environmental factors, stress, and
conditioning all contribute to the
vulnerability to enter the cycle of
abuse/dependence and relapse
within the cycle.

28. INITIATION : The First Encounter
EXPERIMENTS
Social influences, or the desire for novel
experiences.
CURIOUSITY
Often driven by curiosity
EXPOSURE
The initial encounter with the addictive
substance or behaviour.

29. ACTIVE SEEKING
STAGE 1
The stage of active seeking
without developing a
dependence or addiction
STAGE 2
In this stage, they will be able to
stop the substance use on their
own. The problem is that the risk
for substance abuse greatly
increases during this stage.
STAGE 3
Increases risky behaviors such
as driving under the influence,
unexplained violence, and
symptoms of depression and
anxiety.

30. PREOCCUPATION
Moving from Use to Abuse
ØReinforcement:Positive
reinforcement from the
pleasurable effects of the
substance or behaviour.
ØTolerance:Gradual need for
increased amounts to achieve
the same effect.

31. DEPENDENCE : The Entrenchment of
Addiction
A strong desire
or sense of
compulsion to
take the
substance
1
Difficulties in
controlling
substance-
taking
behaviour
A physiological
withdrawal state
when substance
use has ceased
or been reduced
Evidence of
tolerance, such
that increased
doses of the
psychoactive
substance are
required
2345
Progressive
neglect of
alternative
pleasures or
interests
because of
psychoactive
substance use

32. PROTRACTED WITHDRAWAL
Protracted
withdrawal
Psychoactive
substance
includes the experiencing
of acute withdrawal
syndrome and of non-
substance-specific signs
and symptoms that
persist, evolve, or appear
well past the expected
timeframe for acute
withdrawal.
Each psychoactive
substance class has
different protected
withdrawal syndrome.
Protracted
withdrawal
is the presence of
substance-specific signs
and symptoms common to
acute withdrawal but
persisting beyond the
generally expected acute
withdrawal timeframes

33. RECOVERY
Recovery is an active phase, when individuals receiving
treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, a process of
change through which people improve their health and
wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their
full potential. Even people with severe and chronic
substance use disorders can, with help, overcome their
illness and regain health and social function. This is
calledremission.

34. Being in recovery is . . .
when those positive changes and values
become part of a voluntarily adopted
lifestyle. While many people in recovery
believe that abstinence from all
substance use is a cardinal feature of a
recovery lifestyle, others report that
handling negative feelings without using
substances and living a contributive life
are more important parts of their
recovery.
