  • General introduction


    In our Algerian society, like other societies in the world, the phenomenon of drug abuse has spread among various segments of society, and has caused the exacerbation of many social problems, such as crime and deviance. In the face of the development and spread of the drug scourge, and its arrival to various segments of society, it has become necessary to think about treating those addicted to it, to rid Their bodies and minds, and cleansing them of toxins that have become components of their vital cells. The treatment is based on reintegrating the addict into society so that he can return to it and become an active individual in it, where he is treated like a patient to whom medical, psychological, and social services are provided. The addict is not viewed as a criminal, and treatment varies. Its duration depends on the type of narcotic substance, and we point out here an important characteristic, which is that the body of the addicted individual each time requests a larger dose than the previous one, and searches for a stronger effect. Therefore, addicts gradually increase their use of it by increasing the amount of the dose, and by using stimulant drugs with a stronger effect, and this is what they take into account. Those in charge of treating drug addicts.

  • First Lesson : Drugs definition



    Any chemical substance, natural or man- made (usually excluding nutrients, water, or oxygen), that - by its chemical nature - alters biological structure or functioning when administered and absorbed.

  • Second Lesson: The phenomenon of drug abuse in society.



       Lying at the crossroads between Africa, Europe and Asia, Algeria has been a key African country of remarkable transit for all types of drugs and their continental distribution. The situation has got bit by bit further complicated in favour of drug spreading among the Algerian ordinary population, in spite of the major endavours displayed by security forces against illegal drug trafficking. Huge amounts of drug tons are daily seized by the police, customs, gendarmerie and military authorities who also constantly dismantle criminal drug networks; yet, Algeria is still continuously moving from a restricted drug-taking space to a more importantly drug-consuming country. Cities, villages, (primary, middle, high) schools and even universities are all, with no exception, witnessing the presence of psychotropic substances obtained from the Algerian market that is ever more immersed by cannabis, cocaine, heroin, opium, pills, and countless other drugs.

  • Third Lesson: Addiction and its repercussions on the individual and society



    Year after year-records corroborate the fact that the number of drug abusing consumers in the country under study is startling. Following the findings

    arrived at by ONLCDT, Algeria involved more than 37600 drug abusers in 2016, majorly young men who could be (ex)-prisoners, criminals, psychiatric cases or simply ordinary drug addicts. Whatever their socio-economic (privileged or under- privileged background-) situation: (primary, middle, high) school pupils; university students; (non-) workers, they all succumb to the psychoactive temptation. The results obtained by the office in this same year show clearly that cannabis resin is still the most consumed. 226 foreigners have been caught among the population below,


  • Fourth Lesson: Combating Drugs



     Algerian legislation deals with the criminalization and punishment of drug-related offences under Act No. 04-18, as amended and supplemented by Act No. 23-05 on the prevention and control of narcotics and psychotropic substances in all its aspects, thus reflecting the country's criminal policy and, by the same token, the international obligations arising from the ratification of the relevant conventions on combating illicit drug trafficking.

  • Conclusion

    • The process of educating young people about the dangers of drugs and addiction to them is a responsibility borne by the various social upbringing institutions. This requires that these social upbringing institutions work together and coordinate among themselves, so that this is done in an integrated manner, ensuring limiting the spread of this phenomenon. The culture of addiction treatment must also be spread. on drugs in light of the availability of specialized centers in this regard. Individuals must also display civil sense and cooperate with various security agencies, by reporting the activity of criminal networks and drug dealers, so that they can neutralize them, and thus reduce the number of their victims. Also, more attention must be paid to young people and listening to their concerns. And providing them with the necessary facilities to spend their leisure time, in the hope of preventing them from falling into drug abuse and addiction.
