Description:
Drug abuse is a serious public health problem that affects almost every community and family in some way. Each year drug abuse results in around 40 million serious illnesses or injuries among people in the United States. Drug abuse also plays a role in many major social problems, such as drugged driving, violence, stress and child abuse. Drug abuse can lead to homelessness, crime and missed work or problems with keeping a job. It harms unborn babies and destroys families. There are different types of treatment for drug abuse. But the best is to prevent drug abuse in the first place. This is a great application that discusses the most important topics in drug abuse and addiction. This application is ideal for all medical professionals, medical residents and interns, nurses, medical students, and of course curious lay people who just want to learn more about drug abuse and addiction.

Reviews:
MDMA  By: Lisa the Bartendress - Nov 2, 2009 Version: 1.0 Clarity is another name for ecstacy? Definitely not, never heard it, but I like it.
Love the icon  By: morariu - Oct 22, 2009 Version: 1.0 The app is lame
Gr8  By: GUD_UK - 10-Oct-2009 Version: 1.0 Not a bad study aid you left out ecasxty and you should have the others aswell
okay app  By: cookrob - Oct 6, 2009 Version: 1.0 Okay app.Contains lot of wrong information.
update required  By: kirsten # - Oct 15, 2009 Version: 1.0 Needs to stuff more information in this app.
?? Hardly any real info  By: BSP2008 - 02-Nov-2009 Version: 1.0 There's hardly any real info. Just basic stuff. I recommend poeple check erowid if they want true info on any substance.
Total joke  By: Schmr - Nov 27, 2009 Version: 1.0 Don't even bother. This is a waste.
WTF are we in the 50s again?  By: WindexME - Nov 24, 2009 Version: 1.0 This app is an utter failure! Not worth the bandwith.
Horrendus....Makes vague statements so it can pass as accurate....sorta.  By: padams89 - Nov 17, 2009 Version: 1.0 This app either needs to be pulled from the app store or overhauled completely. The information it gives is an attempt at fear-mongering by use of vague statements. It also commits lies of omisson as part of its descriptions. If you expect this information to be useful to medical professionals, let alone lay people significant in-depth information needs to be include. Information like the pharmacology, psychopharmacology, pathphysiology, identification of the substance, how to treat an overdose, typical behavioral symptoms, etc. Without this information as a basis, the app is useless.
Wow. Free and I still feel ripped off.  By: Doc Savage the MC - Nov 10, 2009 Version: 1.0 I s#!+ out more information than this.A bunch of my friends are addicted to either xannax or PKs. They are two completely seprate problems, but are just "perscription drugs".To the makers of this app, read a god damn book.

Embarrassing  By: deltaFosB - Nov 3, 2009 Version: 1.0 I think I can say that clinicians, public health professionals, and interested laypeople will find no use at all for this app. Its "author" provides unattributed text lifted directly from web pages maintained by the National Institutes of Health, and from these sloppily cobbles together two or three very short paragraphs for each of 20 abused drugs or other addiction-related topics. As other reviewers have noted, in it you will find the kind of hyperbole we often use in trying to deter kids from trying drugs, but you won't find any useful or interesting detail about, say, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, drug-induced neuroadaptation/plasticity, polypharmacy and drug interactions, diagnostic practices and criteria, therepeutic interventions, epidemiology, links to relevant scholarship at NLM/PubMed, etc, etc. Bodies like the NIH, and specifically NIDA, have at least two missions. One is rhetorical (to say loudly, "don't take drugs!") and the other is empirical (to dispassionately come to a scientific understanding of how and why drugs are addictive and to develop treatments for those who do become addicted). If you're going to crib your content from government websites anyway and offer it to physicians in an app, I don't understand why you would harvest weary rhetoric for 4th graders, while ignoring the vast amount of useful empirical data these governmental bodies also make available online at no cost. So this app just can't be serious. I can only guess that it might be an attempt by someone to see how high, as it were, they can get an app ranked simply by using a cannabis leaf in the design for the app's icon/button. If this is the case, it's obviously working.
this app lies to you!  By: secret speaker - Nov 2, 2009 Version: 1.0 first off they shouldnt put a pot leaf on the app cover. i agree that all the other drugs are harmful and bad, but the government has no proof that marijuana is bad. a couple of years ago at the National Center for Toxicological Research(NCTR), they did an experiment with rhesus monkeys and exposed them to daily doses of marijuana smoke for a year. they found no evidence of structural or neurochemical changes in the brains of the rhesus monkeys. marijuana does not lead to brain damage! in 1987, a television commercial, sponsored by the Partnership for a Drug-Free Amerca(PDFA), showed a comparison of a normal human brain wave to what was supposedly the (much flatter) brain wave of a 14 year old high on marijuana. it was actually a coma patient. PDFA lied and thats what everybody goes by.
WTF?!?!?!?  By: Hairybutlong - Nov 2, 2009 Version: 1.0 This app is crapp. Hardly anything said in it a fact or close to being a fact. I did not know that meth was a party drug. I wonder who thought that was true. Seriously. This guy needs to think before this kind of stuff gets put out.
nonsense  By: rixville - Oct 24, 2009 Version: 1.0 As a licensed health care provider for the last 26 years, I am appalled at the blatant propoganda and mis-information presented in this app. Also, using a cannabis leaf as the icon for this "drug addiction" app is just plain idiotic. p.s. "Michael Quach", give me a break. Quack is more appropriate.
Misleading  By: Joshasgffikgig - Oct 6, 2009 Version: 1.0 The "facts" about marijuana are incorrect so I wouldn't really trust any of the other "facts" about addiction to any of the included drugs.
Just as well it's free  By: tanza-mw - 26-Oct-2009 Version: 1.0 Not comprehensive, wrong information that has the potenial to cause harm. My field is drug and alcohol research there are many free AOD website that you can refer to that contain current info.
Inaccurate facts  By: gokkun - Oct 12, 2009 Version: 1.0 These facts are not factual and are mostly desperate propoganda trying to scare young people.
What is this crap?! DON'T DOWNLOAD.  By: Blowinsmoke! - Oct 16, 2009 Version: 1.0 Man most of the stuff you put about most of the drugs and other crap is untrue, you sound like that stupid corperation that go to schools and tell them bs about drugs. I'm not for any drug but I am offended at how awful you made marijuana sound.I am a medical user that has a legal medical marijuana card, I go to the clubs all the time to get my weekly doeses for my chronic back pain, because my doctor prescribed it to me. Medical marijuana is an alternative for the pills doctors prescribe to you, which are really bad for you.I hated this app and deleated it right after I looked through it, DONT DOWNLOAD!!
Gay!!!!!!!!!  By: Ninertileye - Oct 13, 2009 Version: 1.0 Title says it all.........
Bad  By: Johnsza - 11-Oct-2009 Version: 1.0 No decent information and most information is out of date.
