The consequences of abusing illicit drugs and alcohol are more visible now than ever before due to the ever-present, steady stream of information we view, share and follow daily. Although we are conscious of the detrimental effects of drugs and alcohol, there is still a need for more education to help people learn how to prevent drug use and abuse before it becomes a problem. A problem, that according to the 2014 World Drug Report, claimed an estimated 183,000 lives in 2012 alone.
