Will man Suchterkrankungen erfolgreich behandeln und bewältigen, muss zunächst die Frage nach den Ursachen geklärt werden. In öffentlichen Diskussionen und von Seiten der Politik wird hierbei oft der Eindruck vermittelt, dass in erster Linie die Drogen selbst Abhängigkeitserkrankungen bedingen. Aber sind wirklich die Drogen der Hauptbedingungsfaktor in der Suchtentwicklung? Schließlich gibt es auch zahlreiche Menschen, die regelmäßig Drogen konsumieren, ohne eine Abhängigkeitserkrankung zu entwickeln. Welche Rolle spielen genetische und psychische Faktoren? Welche Bedeutung hat das soziale Umfeld? All diese Fragen werden im Rahmen des vorliegenden Buches auf Basis umfassender Recherchen zum aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Forschungsstand beantwortet. Bei der Beantwortung wird nicht nur darauf eingegangen, welche Faktoren überhaupt aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht in Frage kommen, sondern vielmehr wird dabei aufgezeigt, welche Faktoren bei der Suchtentwicklung im Vordergrund stehen, welche Faktoren nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen, und welche Schlussfolgerungen sich aus diesen neuen Erkenntnissen für die Arbeit mit drogenabhängigen Menschen und die Überwindung von Suchterkrankungen ziehen lassen.

Addiction and Performance is a collection of essays offering a multidisciplinary exploration of the intertwined relationships between addiction, culture and performance. The problem of addiction is multifaceted, but existing approaches to it often emerge from the frameworks of single disciplines, foregrounding therapeutic or perhaps physiological perspectives over and above a combined approach. However, addictions are not formed or sustained in a vacuum, but are blended with and supported by a wide range of factors. Moreover, the role of culture both in understanding addiction and offering useful strategies of recovery has often been dismissed.In this book, James Reynolds and Zoe Zontou have gathered together leading practitioners and academics in order to explore addiction and performance, and to trouble, theorise, and describe specific ways of approaching their many relationships. This volume consequently offers an alternative conversation, bringing together a variety of discourses to generate a more politicised conceptualisation of addiction, one that facilitates a more complex understanding of addiction and performance, and their many facets.Addiction and Performance is a new and significant resource for students, artists, cultural organisations, service providers, academic researchers and therapeutic professionals working in the field of addiction.

In this authoritative book, Michael R. Frone takes a close look at what we know and don't know about workforce and workplace substance involvement. In doing so, he exposes the lack of evidence behind many popular myths regarding employee substance involvement. Frone's review covers research conducted over the past 30 years, and he analyzes methodological limitations and the tendency to'go beyond the data'when interpreting results. Given the need for evidence-based management and policy, this book will be a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners in management, occupational health, and addiction treatment and prevention.

أصبحت قضية انتشار المخدِّرات والإدمان عليها تدق ناقوس الخطر على شبابنا، حيث بدأت تلك السموم تنخر في البنيان الاجتماعي، ووجدت طريقها إلى عقول شبابنا، فأصبحت كالإيدز في تحطيم الجسم والنفس؛ مما يهدد الشباب وهم رجال المستقبل وعدته، فيجعل منهم شبابًا بلا عقل ولا رجولة؛ ليصبحوا فريسة سهلة للضياع والانحراف. ويؤدي تعاطي المخدِّرات والإدمان عليها إلى أضرار اجتماعية بالغة في كثير من الحالات، تحيط بالمتعاطي نفسه، وتنسحب على المحيطين به من أفراد أسرته وبعض المقربين منه من الأصدقاء، وتنعكس بالتالي على المجتمع واستقراره وأمنه الاجتماعي، لا سيما وأن تعاطي المخدِّرات في المجتمعات العربية والإسلامية يرتبط بالكرامة الشخصية للمتعاطي، والذي كثيرًا ما يحاول التحفظ على ممارساته السلوكية المرتبطة بتعاطي المخدِّرات، وعدم إفشاء أمره؛ نظرًا لنبذ المجتمع لهذه العادة وسلوكياتها كونها تخالف القوانين والأعراف الاجتماعية، وما يتصل بها من قيم وعادات وتقاليد ترفض تلك الممارسات السلوكية الخاطئة. ويعتبر الشخص المدمن شخصًا مريضًا مثل المرضى الآخرين، يحتاج إلى المساعدة والعلاج للتخلص من هذا الإدمان، والعلاج الدوائي والطبي الذي يمكن أن يُعطى لهؤلاء الأفراد لا يتعدى المساعدة في معالجة الأمراض التي تظهر بسبب الإدمان في المرحلة الأولى من العلاج، وبالتالي فالعلاج الطبي هو علاج للأمراض المصاحبة أو التابعة للإدمان، وخصوصًا تلك الأدوية التي تستخدم في فترة الانسحاب. أما العلاج الحقيقي والفعلي للإدمان فهو يكمن في قناعة الفرد بترك المخدِّرات والابتعاد عنها، وتزويده بمجموعة من المهارات الاجتماعية اليومية، وزيادة ثقته بنفسه ليتمكن من ممارسة نشاطاته اليومية، وكل ذلك يتم عن طريق تقديم العلاج والدعم النفسي للمدمن؛ من خلال بناء البرامج الإرشادية والنفسية والسلوكية التي يتلقاها المدمنون في المراكز العلاجية المعززة والمدعمة بالنشاطات والبرامج العلاجية الأخرى في المراكز العلاجية.

The focus of the conference is the assessment of the effects of addictive drugs on an individual, both in mind and body, and the repercussions of its widespread use on society, specifically during the decade of the 80's. The book is composed of 49 chapters, which were divided into five parts.

A paper on pharmacological cure, specifically for tobacco and alcohol abuse, is presented, as well as the effects of marijuana on the reproductive system. The second part examines drug use among children, family relationships, and drug abuse in adults engaged in various professions and undertakings. The third part exposes how a''pro-drug''media can be instrumental in the proliferation of drug use in society and also how religion may have also propagated drug use. In contrast, several articles are likewise written that extols the use of media in spreading the detrimental effects of drugs. Part 4 discusses the state of drug abuse in different cultures and societies; the drug trade; and various interventions being implemented by local governments and international organizations to curb the spread of this epidemic. Part 5 is devoted to the status of drug abuse in the 80's, efforts made, and plans to fight it. The text is a must-read for physicians, pharmacists, educators, social workers, lawyers, law enforcers, sociologists, students, and people who want to get rid of this menace to the human race.
