Abstract

The young generations are the worst victims of evils of drug addiction. Substance abuse as a social phenomenon is all the more worrisome because of its prevalence among youth. Over the last two decades or so, countries all over the world have seen an alarming rise in the incidence of substance abuse amongst the most productive and crucial section of its population. The young people are in their perennial search for happiness and they find a shortcut to happy life in drugs. But before realizing that they are chasing shadows, they get trapped in and in the end the futility of their search stares at them on the face. This paper deals with Causes of Drug use, impact of drug usage, and the need for intervention and the methods of prevention of drug addiction.
