Interviews and PropagationThe perspective of our therapy has always been the major concern since we started our project. We kept thinking whether our therapy could be applied clinically or really help patients who suffer from drug abuse in terms of drug effects, expense, etc. Thus, we decided to consult the policemen, patients, neurobiologist and doctors about the feasibility and clinical appliance of our project. On the other hand, we went to communities on International Day Against Drug Abuse to propagate that all people should keep away from drug. Also we appealed people to refuse drugs and ultimately we got 528 signatures from people who declared their determination to fight against illegal drugs.![]() Interview at rehab1. She mentioned that our project aims at curing physical pleasant sensation, but it should cooperate with psychological counseling as well. 2. She claimed that the cost of our medicine is pretty high, especially for individual cases. He suggested that we can start from patient who is well-off and not so heavily addicted. 3. Withdrawal reaction of heroin is quite severe, so that some drug addicts tend to violate laws to get heroin. 4.Now ratio of infecting AIDS from drug taking is high. Ratio of juvenile drug taking is also rising, and the lower age limit drops from 17 to 15 Policeman: 1. If our medicine could bring some terrible or even disgusting feelings to drug addicts when they are taking drugs, it may be more effective in preventing relapse. 2. Addiction of methadone is actually stronger than heroin. It is not the ultimate cure but just a method of using drugs with less toxicity as a substitute. Patients: 1. Using methadone is not a desirable choice. It is addictive, and its physical reaction when addiction seizures is bigger than heroin’s. Some patients even choose relapsing heroin to relieve physical pain brought by methadone. 2. Patients accept our medicine which could cure physical pleasant sensation of relapse, and don’t mind about GM medicine, for detoxification is of utmost importance. 3. The costs and side-effects are their central concerns. If the medicine is expensive, then it will lose the possibility of wide promotion. Even though patients are willing to try, it will be too costly to use. On the other hand, patients oppose medicine that has strong side-effects, for their physical conditions are already seriously damaged by drugs. 4. They claimed that central reason for relapse is not for physical dependence, but psychological one. Some people relapse because of feeling of emptiness; some rejoin former addicts crowd; some think luckily that a single one time is safe from addiction or prison. Final reflections: 1. Detoxification needs concerted efforts from society, community and family, in which psychological withdrawal weighs most. Our medicine aims at curing physical addiction as much as possible. As for psychological part, maybe we can enable our medicine to bring disgusting feelings to medicine-takers when they take drugs, or maybe we can research on the psychological dependence of brain in the future. 2. Acceptability of our project is quite high from policemen and patients, and they have high expectations for the medicine to pass through clinical trials and enter the market as soon as possible. This strongly illustrate our project has profound meanings. 3. As the most widely used medicine for detoxification, methadone is not so ideal in patients’ eyes, and their addiction is even stronger than drugs. As a consequence, research of new detoxification medicine is urgently needed. 4. Trend of abusing methamphetamine is rising, which requires society to voice out its tremendous danger. Some people use methamphetamine to get rid of heroin. Even though they were addicted to methamphetamine, the reaction of heroin did relieve after taking methamphetamine. That makes us wonder if there exists counteraction at the site of action between heroin and methamphetamine, and if a medicine imitating methamphetamine could be designed, which also have the ability to substitute heroin, but dose no damage to the brain and is also safe from addiction. Due to the unawareness about addiction mechanism of methamphetamine, designation of such medicine could begin after the whole process is unfolded. Interview with neurobiologist![]() Interview with doctor![]() Human practice in International Day against Drug AbuseWe have already known that the drug does harm to our human society. According to that, our team wishes to expand the value of our project to help solve the drug problems. We did some human practice to propagate the harm of drug. Furthermore, we try to figure the problem out on clinical treatment in order to find a new medicine for drug addiction. Firstly, we made some brochures that include the introduction of various drug, the existing methods of drug treatment and terrible instances of people who addicted to drug. With those materials, we went to communities on International Day Against Drug Abuse to propagate that all people should keep away from drug. Also we appealed people to refuse drugs and ultimately we got 528 signatures from people who declared their determination to fight against illegal drugs.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
