Everybody is addicted to something that is characterized by our inability to exist without it. Normally, our dependence on these substances is never that serious unless we become withdrawn in their inaccessibility. The present society needs addiction education for it installs a state of preparedness that will enable them to overcome this menace. This knowledge will always be applied in their daily lives thus sustainability.

This term can be applied in multiple ways depending on the substance being abused. Emotional stress is the main reason why people abuse substances. This psychological situation in prolonged nature may lead to depression and at times suicide hence people require training on how to react whenever they are confronted with any form of stress.

It is wrong to attribute desire for pleasure to substance dependence because people differ in character and morality. There has been long debates on whether this menace should be classified as a disease or a mental condition because it has properties of both.

The healing process needed is usually initiated by the mind of the victim. Recovery is a psychological process that encompasses several steps that require adequate planning. It all starts by identifying the need to live a sober life then setting up goals which will ensure this problem will be solved. After objectives are achieved in the long run, monitoring should be done to ensure that they are effective.

The advent of modern ways of doing things has initiated the dispensation of knowledge everywhere. Innovations in the communication sector have tremendously simplified the ways in which information is shared with the public. People can access pertinent information from libraries, book retailers, the internet and from other forms of street publications like adverts.

Sociable practices like speaking to colleagues and family are encouraged for they help individuals in battling substance abuse. There is a mutual connection created whenever these parties meet and this state of mind fosters positivism hence victims of previous substance dependence are able to live happier lives.

Facilities have been established in every country meant to rehabilitate addicts. For instance, rehabilitation centers for those dependent on drugs exist to help reform these individuals. In these institutions, the victims are given life skills that help to change their individual perspectives towards substance use.

In summary, information dissemination is very critical in mitigating substance use and dependency. Authorities are obliged to collaborate in changing the societal views on this issue by disseminating knowledge to them. This is an effective way to ensure that millennium goals for a country are achievable.
