Drug addiction

As per available reports about 956 journals, 20 Conferences, 16 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Drug Addiction and about 230179 articles are being published on the current trends in Drug Addiction. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to Drug Addiction are being carried out. Drug addiction manifests as a compulsive drive to take a drug despite serious adverse consequences. This aberrant behaviour has traditionally been viewed as bad ‘choices’ that are made voluntarily by the addict. However, recent studies have shown that repeated drug use leads to long-lasting changes in the brain that undermine voluntary control. This, combined with new knowledge of how environmental, genetic and developmental factors contribute to addiction, should bring about changes in our approach to the prevention and treatment of addiction.
