Transcripts
now for the next level here is the
intensified and regular use this is
where the periodic use of the substance
is already being done by the user and
they are already starting to abuse the
use of the substance
so in this kind of cases everyone it's
really important that you approach
professional
counselors or professional doctors
medical practitioners who will be able
to help you out
or
help out the person that you know that
are
abusing the substance
and the good thing about the law
republican 9165 there's a program there
there's a part of the law that specifies
that we
will be rehabilitating those people who
are using substance abuse and there's a
period of time that and depending on
the
the
usage and the reoccurrence of usage of
the person
they will be provided by the government
with with assistance when it comes to
rehabilitation
so if you have a family member or let's
say someone that you know and
we can actually refer them to those
institutions that is provided by the
government that provides assistance to
those people who wants to be
rehabilitated rehabilitated
[Music]
so republic of 9165 provides certain
sections that
states that there's voluntary
rehabilitation and involuntary
rehabilitation program
that is part of the
law
for helping out individuals who gets
involved into the use of of
illegal drugs
and of course the highest level here is
the compulsive are addictive use this is
the one that is already detrimental to
the person and the community because
they are already
uh
they're already really using the
substance up to a point that they are
now compulsively using it
and
it becomes a daily need for them and
there's a tendency that for them to be
able to support their
need for the substance they end up
committing certain crime or levels of
crimes that
that is against the law
and
against the protection of life meaning
because of being an addict
because of
or
being someone who is
who is already
using
we are we don't actually use the term
addict uh later on we'll talk more about
that however because of them already
compulsively using the substance they
end up doing certain things that will be
against the law or is is prohibited by
the law like
they doing some rubbing
or rubbing
[Music]
of
individuals they they rob or they do
some criminal acts for them to be able
to support their their
needs for the substance
so we can go and include the mentalities
of
of things that you will learn in our
personal protection lecture i will be
discussing their topics that is related
to
the term rubber versus a mugger
mentality so we'll talk more about that
in our
personal protection discussion however
that is where the
mother mentality comes in
in terms of people who are already
addicted to a certain
substance they end up
coming after
community members so that they can go
and try to support their needs they will
be doing something that is illegal
and worst case the worst they end up
abusing the substance up to a point that
they become psychotic
that means that they don't know what is
the reality already and they are a
threat to themselves and to the members
of the community
because of being being under the
substance
because of being under the foreign
substance they end up losing track of
what is real
and they end up doing some criminal acts
that will be
against the law
most worst case scenario that will be
doing something that will be
taking some once another person's life
so it's really important
that before uh individual reaches this
level
we should have some interventions that
we try to set up or control measures
that we try to set up that's why
this is why early identification is
really important
[Music]
so i hope that this is quite clear the
levels of
engagement of a user
and
we want to really prevent
a user from becoming a compulsive addict
addicted user and that's why we want to
identify at an early stage at an early
level because we don't want
users to become criminals because at the
level of compulsive level of engagement
that's the time that they end up
becoming people who engage into criminal
acts
that will be detrimental to themselves
and the society already so as i've said
not every user are criminals there are
some situations from where they are
are they are only using the substance
because of curiosity
some
use the substance because of the need to
do so circumstantial
some
have the tendency to
use it in a regular manner in an
intensify regular use because of
lack of
intervention and the worst case scenario
becoming compulsive from where at this
stage they end up becoming a threat to
themselves and a threat to the society
okay so at least now we understand that
it doesn't mean that if a person is
using a substance
a dangerous substance or a legal
drug they're already threatened to the
society so that means guys
our goal here is of course we want to
help save lives and these are considered
to be these people are considered to be
patients they are sick
at a certain level and that's why we
have certain interventions that we set
so that we can try to help out these
people who are sick so that's the
mentality that was explained to us by
the pedeia officer and and that's a
really good mentality to share that i
wanted to share to you to my class also
because i really believe in the
importance of life every life counts so
we value life
and preservation of life is our main
goal that's why we are engaging
ourselves into drug education that will
help
promote proactive programs that will
prevent the
use of drugs or prevent individuals from
engaging into the use of drugs by
understanding the dangers
that this will be imposing if they get
involved into the use of illegal drugs
and at the same time how it will be
detrimental to their life as a whole and
if we eliminate the need
the demand for the supply of course the
supplier will not be there no one will
be selling the item
and again demand and supply concept if
there's no buyer there will be no seller
