The College of Dentistry and the Educational Guidance and Psychological Counseling Unit at the University of Basra held an awareness lecture on addiction, combating drugs and their negative effects on our society in cooperation with the Drug Control Unit at the Presidency of the University of Basra.
The awareness lecture aims to explain the damage caused by drug abuse to humans, the most important symptoms, treatment methods, how to deal with addicts, and ways to prevent this dangerous scourge and the most affected social classes by drugs.
The lecture, which was given by Dr. Abbas Jumaa Al-Sudani, included defining drugs and their impact on society, their types and the most widespread ones, how a family knows that it has a drug addict and the legal procedures resulting from that.
Al-Sudani added that drugs have become one of the main problems that are devastating society, especially the youth, and everyone must unite and cooperate in combating them. These activities and awareness seminars are the best starting point for educating our sons and daughters at the university about the danger of the scourge of drugs.
