Drug abuse is becoming a problem in our society. What are the causes of this and what are some solutions?

Today, illegal

drug

traffickings widely spread throughout the world and

drug

abuse

becomes the biggest issue in our communities. In

this

essay, I will highlight the causes of drugs

abuse

followed by some solutions.

First

and foremost, some people are now facing the problem of

drug

addiction because of their own personalities. People who have weak willpower and personality deficiencies have a desire to use drugs for recreational purposes. To fix

this

problem, the governments should introduce medical treatment counselling sessions and behaviour therapy for addicts to built up their characters.

Besides

, preventive programmes will be the best solution for

drug

abuse

because prevention is better than cure.

Secondly

, other causes of

drug

abuse

are family breakdown and poor family environment. People who were raised in poor families and broken families have little education about

drug

abuse

and they rarely notice about the consequences of drugs. To solve

this

issue, it is necessary to promote public education about narcotic addiction and to give family support to addicts.

Moreover

, vocational training plays a vital role to prevent drugs

abuse

by giving opportunities to addicts to built up their life again.

Last

but not least, relaxation of laws is one of the causes of

drug

abuse

in some nations.

Drug

trafficking is not effectively prohibited by some governments and it leads to the widespread of drugs throughout the world. To address

drug

abuse

, all countries should take action against

drug

trafficking by applying punishment oriented approaches, and limit the availability of addictive drugs by tightening up the laws on

drug

possession. In conclusion,

drug

abuse

will become the biggest threat to our society and we should cooperate with our governments to face

this

problem by carrying out the above solutions.
