(Joseph A. Califano Jr.)

The Media May Encourage Drug Abuse

Inaccurate and glamorous portrayals of illicit
drug use on television, in films, and in
popular music may influence children and
adolescents to use drugs. For this reason, the
media must accurately portray the
consequences of drug abuse and propagate
antidrug messages.

(Ann B. Bruner and Marc Fishman)
Club Drugs Are Harming More Youths
The current trend of drug abuse among
youths is characterized by the growing
popularity of “club drugs” such as ecstasy,
GHB, and Rohypnol.
Unaware of the dangers of these drugs, an
increasing number of young people are using
them and endangering their health and lives.
Although possible HIV and hepatitis C
transmission has heightened the risks of
 intravenous drug use, the abuse of heroin is
spreading, due in part to the availability of
smokable and snort able forms of the drug.
(Evelyn Nieves)
Playing with Painkillers
In the last decade, doctors have made more
efforts to manage their patients’ pain,
dramatically increasing prescriptions and
sales of painkillers. Although many patients
benefit from these medications, others have
become addicted to them.

(Alan I. Leshner)
Methadone Treatment
Methadone is a drug that relieves addicts’
cravings for heroin without producing
euphoric effects. When administered by a
physician as part of a comprehensive
rehabilitation program, methadone is a
highly effective treatment for heroin
addiction.
(James Cooper)

Antidrug Media Campaigns Reduce Drug

Abuse
 Antidrug advertising campaigns reduce the
use of illegal drugs among youths. Antidrug
messages must be aired consistently so that
future generations are adequately informed
of the dangers of illegal drugs.
(Lloyd D. Johnston)
Needle-Exchange Programs Reduce the
Harms of Intravenous Drug Use
Needle-exchange programs can reduce the
sharing of needles and thereby decrease the
risk of HIV infection among intravenous
drug users. These programs can prevent the
spread of HIV and other diseases without
encouraging drug use.
(Jon Fuller)
