Résumé :
FRANCAIS :
L'auteur développe une conception large de la prévention qui devrait concerner tout individu, selon les étapes de sa vie, ses caractéristiques psychosociales et ses valeurs spirituelles. En parallèle, des programmes d'assistance et de réadaptation à l'intention des toxicomanes devraient être mis en place. Les programmes de prévention doivent être axés sur les individus plus que sur les drogues elles-mêmes.
ENGLISH:
This article pleads for a comprehensive approach to the prevention of drug abuse, one which involves individuals throughout their lives and takes account of their psycho-social characteristics and spiritual values, as well as of differences among individuals. Certain drug abuse prevention programmes are identified as being counterproductive, such as inconsistent and incongruous programmes of the media that glamorize the life of celebrities who are abusing drugs, or drug information material that concurrently publicizes the use of legal drugs. Depersonalized drug education programmes have also proved to be counterproductive. Assistance and rehabilitation programmes for drug dependent persons and programmes for prevention of drug abuse among the young population, particularly children, should be provided simultaneously to avoid being caught up in a "vicious circle of assistance", brought about by disinterest in prevention and unrealistic expectations of society. The emphasis of prevention programmes should be on people rather than on drugs themselves. [Extract of the publication]
