A few days ago, I chatted with a doctor friend from a Chinese medicine physiotherapy department about the endless stream of cervical spine pain patients in their department during the New Year. I can’t help but think of the “lowers” that are so prevalent now. On the subway, at the dinner table, in the elevator, at home, you and I, are we all complaining about less and less time and poorer sleep, while still holding our phones and constantly brushing WeChat? And I can’t help but think, N years ago, “steal vegetables” is the total mobilization of all the people, set an alarm clock to steal vegetables in the middle of the night. I can’t help but think that there are always a few friends around to say that there are no hobbies, they love to play a small card, drink a little wine, so often see him drunk, there are few wages left? These unstoppable, involuntary control is not the “addiction”? Each of us can almost effortlessly feel its presence from around us, even from ourselves! This is truly an age of addiction! Addiction, like all epidemics, is spreading like crazy! What has just been described is still only the behavioral aspect of addiction, which is well known and seems to be understandable to all and feels like nothing. What is not known is that just today, while there are still aftershocks of the alarm bell sounded by Tiger Gate, an even more terrible addiction has crept in and is rapidly eating away at the vitality of this society – substance abuse addiction. In the past two years, drug addiction stars staged a prison storm is fast becoming a serial; last year 2014, Guangdong 3,000 police officers to clear the drug village, found that the drug production nest scattered in the village 30% of the family workshops; social class news often appear, due to the massive use of cough drops, tramadol and other prescription drugs of young people racing in a car accident; yesterday’s newspaper of a common has only been exposed tofu block size page of the news: the Police captured a suspect in the killing of a 5-year-old child, the criminal in the review said that because of hallucinations from methamphetamine use, he felt that the child was the devil and was going to harm himself, so he killed him …… Addiction is already here, did you know? The global trend of psychoactive substance addiction is getting worse. In China, such as cough syrup addiction since the early 1990s from Hong Kong, through Shenzhen into the mainland, now Guangdong, Northeast, Fujian, Wuhan, Beijing, Tianjin, Nanchang, Jiangxi and other places have proliferated. Prescription drugs Tramadol, compound licorice tablets, opioids such as methadone, buprenorphine, sleeping pills Valium, Zopiclone, over-the-counter drugs Methadone and other drug addiction phenomenon is also exceptionally serious. The age of addicted patients is getting younger and younger (once we and CCTV reporters visited many elementary school in Guangdong and found that many elementary school students were abusing the abandoned prescription drug packages); the scope of addicted groups is getting wider and wider to all walks of life (our patients are businessmen, freelancers, corporate employees, civil servants, and even police officers); the types of addiction are getting more and more (in addition to polydrug abuse) In addition, the inpatients mentioned milk tea, happy water, five boys, etc.). Now foreign countries, such as the United States, Canada and other countries for drug abuse crisis response measures began to have in-depth research, but China is not systematic, the practice level is still more focused on “prevention by restraint supply, curb by legal policy”, which is far from enough, how to “reduce demand This is far from enough, and how to “reduce demand” (education and guidance for youth, intervention for susceptible people, and treatment for addicted patients) should also become the focus of our thinking.
