ABSTRACT

Drug addiction is a complex illness. It is characterized by intense and, at times, uncontrollable drug craving, along with compulsive drug seeking and use that persist even in the face of devastating consequences. Many people do not realize that addiction is a brain disease. While the path to drug addiction begins with the act of taking drugs, over time a person’s ability to choose not to do so becomes compromised, and seeking and consuming the drug becomes compulsive. This behavior results largely from the effects of prolonged drug exposure on brain functioning. Addiction affects multiple brain circuits, including those involved in reward and motivation, learning and memory, and

    For many years, individuals have battled substance abuse and addiction. My position comes from hearing about it, having seeing results from it, and reading about it, also developing my own thoughts about addiction. Weil and Rosen (1993) believe that a drug use (and addiction) results from humans longing for a sense of completeness and wholeness, and searching for satisfaction outside of themselves. McNeece and DiNitto (2012) says the reason why people continue to use drugs to the point of becoming a physically and/ or psychologically dependent on them are more complex, some have tried to explain this phenomenon as a deficit in moral values, a disease, conditioning or learned behavior, or as a genetic prosperity. Still some see it as a “rewiring” of the brain (Mc Neece & DiNitto, 2012). At this point, there is no one single theory that adequately explains addiction (McNeece & DiNitto, 2012).…

    Drug addiction is considered a progressive disease that if left untreated can result in death. When we become addicted we have lost control of the desire and need for the substance. This loss of control causes us to become consumed by the desire and the need for the substance. Addiction produces changes in the brain that cause our behavior to change. This change in behavior is what leads to the loss of control. “This is not something that develops overnight for any individual. Generally there is a series of steps that individuals go through from experimentation and occasional use to the actual loss of control.” (HBO). The progression of this disease has no specific time frame. It differs from person to person. Regardless of time, addiction follows the same path. We become addicted, our disease progresses, and either we get help and recover or we take one of the following options: jail, institution, or death.…

    APON has finished 17 glorious years of service to drug addicts in Bangladesh. APON stated as a small Halfway House with one recovering addict and very few material processions but quickly developed to become the leading Drug Rehabilitation center in Bangladesh. For this we must thank God and the many people who have helped us over the years. During the past year APON has taken some very important steps to develop and improve our services to Drug addicts in Bangladesh. We have continued to serve male drug addicts and we have expanded our children’s program. We have done well in Dhaka, Mymenshing and Narsingdi establishing networks among the drug users as a part of UNODC projects. This year we also opened a Female Rehabilitation and Day Care Center with the assistance of Family Health International, Bangladesh. We have been making contacts with those serving street children and we hope to continue developing our adapted Children’s Drug Rehabilitation Program, especially among the regular and part time street children. We look forward to doing more for Street Children in drug preventive and awareness programs plus offering drug treatment and rehabilitation to more of these youngsters. To do this well we will need the help of international organizations. APON's development motto is: "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where is no path and leave a trail” so as a result APON is: A small (but growing) light in the vast darkness of drug addiction in Bangladesh. I believe that the staff, volunteers and others have been working very hard to not only continue our rehabilitation program but to develop all aspects of our service programs. One of the “trails" APON is leaving is that rehabilitation of drug addicts leads to behavior change and therefore helps to prevent both drug…
