Today we will tell you today is national what day. National Addiction Day is celebrated on October 15 each year. Drug addiction is one of the greatest evils that plagues modern societies, especially those that are experiencing economic, social, political or identity crises.
Citing substance abuse is often referring to drugs such as hashish, heroin or cocaine, which nevertheless constitutes a rather restrictive view of the general phenomenon of drug addiction as defined by the World Health Organization.
National Addiction Day October 15
The fringe of the population most exposed to this scourge is constituted by adolescents in need of reference. At this age of life, the experience of drugs can respond to a need for risk, provocation or transgression for subjects operating in suitable grounds such as unbalanced families or societies in crisis.
Many countries celebrate this day and our attention has been drawn to the praiseworthy efforts of the Algerian government to eradicate this scourge. Algeria has become aware of this evil that is eating away a part of its youth and considerable efforts are being made by the authorities to stem, if not eradicate, the development of this devastating evil.
