Answer:

Mass media campaigns. These efforts are most often aimed at changing norms regarding drug use by demonstrating negative consequences for use, positive consequences for nonuse, changing opinions about the prevalence of use or the types of people who use, and increasing skills for resisting drugs. Media avenues might include the use of billboards, newspapers, radio, and television, as well as collaborations with the entertainment industry, music videos, and interactive media. The ongoing National Youth Anti-Drug Campaign of the Office of National Drug Control Policy is an example of such a media campaign implemented at the national level. Reducing pro-drug media messages is also included in this category of prevention activity.

Community organizing and coalitions. These efforts require collaboration among several community entities to develop community-wide strategies for reducing substance use. They generally involve representatives from community agencies working together to specify goals for reducing substance use, develop collaborative strategies for reaching those goals, and implement those strategies over a period of several years. Often, these community planning groups are more grassroots in nature, involving and empowering community residents in addition to professional staff. Well-known examples of this type of strategy include Project STAR (Pentz et al., 1989) and Project Northland (Perry et al., 1996).

Family training, counseling, and case management. This category includes efforts to alter family management practices or to build parenting skills in general through instruction or training. These activities often teach parents skills for monitoring or supervising their children, increasing emotional attachments, helping their children succeed in school, or otherwise assisting their children in the development of skills and competencies that will be needed to avoid substance use. An example is the Strengthening Families Program (Kumpfer et al., 1996). Family therapy often focuses on building the same skills, but it is generally more intensive than parent training activities and usually involves high-risk adolescents and

families. Family case management includes a variety of monitoring and intervention activities to assist families who are in need of services. Drug-involved families may be encouraged to seek treatment, and conditions that might facilitate relapse are addressed.

Classroom instruction. This is the most common strategy used in schools. The content of these interventions varies, but they can be grouped into three main classes: Information-only interventions teach students factual information about drugs and the consequences of use. Skill-building interventions increase students’ awareness of social influences to engage in misbehavior and expand their repertoires for recognizing and appropriately responding to risky or potentially harmful situations. Normative education interventions change perceptions of the norms related to substance use. Many instructional programs contain different mixes of these three types. Two well-known examples are the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program and Life Skills Training. The most effective of these instructional programs use what are called cognitive-behavioral or behavioral instructional methods, which rely on modeling, providing rehearsal, and coaching in the display of new skills (Gottfredson, 2001).

Cognitive behavioral, behavioral modeling, and behavior modification strategies.

The first step to overcoming drug abuse and addiction

Developing an addiction to drugs isn’t a character flaw or a sign of weakness, and it takes more than willpower to overcome the problem. Abusing illegal or certain prescription drugs can create changes in the brain, causing powerful cravings and a compulsion to use that makes sobriety seem like an impossible goal. But recovery is never out of reach, no matter how hopeless your situation seems or how many times you’ve tried and failed before. With the right treatment and support, change is always possible.

My Hope for 2021

What's your hope for 2021?

Last year was rough. But we’re hopeful for the year ahead. And since hope is contagious, please share your hope for 2021.

Share your hope

For many people struggling with addiction, the toughest step toward recovery is the very first one: recognizing that you have a problem and deciding to make a change. It’s normal to feel uncertain about whether you’re ready to start recovery, or if you have what it takes to quit. If you’re addicted to a prescription drug, you may be concerned about how you’re going to find an alternate way to treat a medical condition. It’s okay to feel torn. Committing to sobriety involves changing many things, including:

the way you deal with stress

who you allow in your life

what you do in your free time

how you think about yourself

the prescription and over-the-counter medications you take

It’s also normal to feel conflicted about giving up your drug of choice, even when you know it’s causing problems in your life. Recovery requires time, motivation, and support, but by making a commitment to change, you can overcome your addiction and regain control of your life.

Think about change

Keep track of your drug use, including when and how much you use. This will give you a better sense of the role the addiction is playing in your life.

List the pros and cons of quitting, as well as the costs and benefits of continuing your drug use.

Consider the things that are important to you, such as your partner, your kids, your pets, your career, or your health. How does your drug use affect those things?

Ask someone you trust about their feelings on your drug use.

Ask yourself if there’s anything preventing you from changing. What could help you make the change?
