Detailed explanation-1: -What are scare tactics? Emphasizing the worst dangers of drug use in order to create fear and anxiety, in hopes that fear alone will prevent or stop risky behaviors. “Programs that rely on scare tactics to prevent problems are not only ineffective, but may have damaging effects.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Some research suggests that fear-based messaging can motivate certain kinds of low-stakes behavior changes, like seeing the dentist more regularly. But when it comes to preventing teens from using alcohol and other drugs, the evidence is clear: Scare tactics don’t work.
Detailed explanation-3: -Detoxification is a set of interventions aimed at managing acute intoxication and withdrawal. It denotes a clearing of toxins from the body of the patient who is acutely intoxicated and/or dependent on substances of abuse. Detoxification seeks to minimize the physical harm caused by the abuse of substances.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sobriety refers to the physiological and psychological state of being unaffected by the presence of an intoxicant. For people who are in recovery from substance or alcohol use, the definition of sobriety is similar to the definition of abstinence. It means living a life free of drug or alcohol use.
