The Drug Addict and Trying to Learn

Along with all of the other damaging symptoms from drug abuse, drugs also obstruct learning. This doesn’t just mean in education but in learning things during everyday living as well. This is not just an belief but an empirical fact. Learning rate – the length of time it takes a person to learn something – has been proven to be slower in drug users that in others. Actual tests show that learning rate of a person who has been on drugs is much slower than that of a person who has not.

Drugs, then, would prohibit a person from being educated. Now let’s weigh this against the fact that drug usage amongst students is not only accepted, but some drugs are even utilized in some schools – one example is psychiatrists by way of educators pushing drugs, such as Ritalin to control “hyperactivity”. The problem is when they want to label many typically active kids as hyperactive. Those drugs have created many drug addicts and ruined many lives.

When drugs are impeding learning, discipline would also be nonfunctional. When a person is on drugs his responsibility is low and this takes out fear of consequences for any of his actions. The answer, one might think, is discipline. But discipline is enforced learning. If efforts to simply teach the value of ethics fail in the face of impeded learning, attempts to teach by discipline and justice actions –enforced learning – fail even harder. The person who can’t learn and who is often exposed to attempts to impose learning by disciplinary action simply becomes a criminal.

When you have a society that can’t learn that was exposed to attempted enforced learning , in the end, would become criminal.

That is what we are getting nearer and nearer to because of the continuous increase in drug use, of both illegal and prescription drugs.

An successful detox program is the only way to turn around this downward spiral for a person. For a drug addict very often drug rehab is the only answer. But that drug rehab HAS TO include a thorough detox program.
