It aimed to educate attendees on the nature of these toxic substances, their various types, methods of manufacture and distribution, while emphasizing the profound harm they cause both on individual and societal levels. Presenters outlined the detrimental effects of drug abuse, demonstrating how addiction not only damages the body but also infiltrates the mind and spirit, gradually eroding a person\u2019s cognitive, emotional, and social capacities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Psychological consequences discussed ranged from anxiety and stress to severe depression and detachment from reality. The health impacts included general physical deterioration, damage to the nervous system, and chronic illnesses that can often be fatal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The workshop also addressed the social dimensions of drug abuse, explaining how it threatens family cohesion, increases domestic violence and social fragmentation, and contributes to poor academic and professional performance\u2014ultimately weakening one of society&#8217;s foundational pillars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Economically, the workshop shed light on the heavy burden drug proliferation places on nations. This includes both direct costs\u2014such as treatment and rehabilitation of addicts\u2014and indirect losses due to decreased productivity, rising unemployment, and the escalation of drug-related crime. Furthermore, it explored how drug trafficking supports illegal economies and threatens national security and stability, particularly when smuggling networks and organized crime infiltrate societies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The session concluded with a set of recommendations and practical strategies aimed at combating addiction and curbing its spread among youth. These included enhancing awareness through educational and media programs, integrating drug prevention concepts into school curricula, supporting treatment and psychological rehabilitation centers, and creating a safe and supportive environment to facilitate the reintegration of recovering addicts into society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Participants also emphasized the need to enforce strict legal measures against drug traffickers, promote collaboration among security, medical, and educational institutions, and encourage youth-led volunteer initiatives that contribute to building a more informed and resilient community capable of resisting this destructive plague.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7863&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_outline&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTIwdmFyJTIwdHJhbnNfcGFnZSUzRCUyMjQ3ODgyJTIyJTNCJTNDJTJGc2NyaXB0JTNF[\/vc_raw_js][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7862&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_outline&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Science for Women, Professor Dr. Sameera Naji Khdim, &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":7861,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
