We should all do our part

Since we're in the topic of drugs, it really is no laughing matter when a loved one is sent to a drug rehab. Most of the time, keen observation is key to detect signs of addiction because drug addiction as we all know isn't just about those recreational drugs like marijuana, heroin, ecstacy, etc. Addiction could start from the most simplest pain reliever. It usually starts there until the drug has little or no effect anymore that the person taking it would look for something that is stronger than the previous one. That's why we are taught in school that just because is saying that he or she is experiencing pain that we automatically give the medicine to the patient. We have to make the necessary assessment to know if the patient is in real pain or is just there to get more drugs that he or she is addicted too.

We should all do our part to prevent or to stop drug addiction. But we should remember that they are just as members of this society as we are so they need our love and support in this endeavor.
