ATTACHING SIGNS AFTER IT IS TOO Slow
Most abuse takes place within locked windows, whether at home or a friend’s house, he said.  ,
Kids can look out for these warning signs of drug abuse earlier and join their youngsters before it’s too late. It’s very difficult for various members of the public to actually recognize all these telltale signs and join them, he said, whether it’s their instructors or others.  ,
Mr. Gopal emphasized that anyone can become addicted to drugs.
” You can be from a thick- money community, you can be working in the community. Addiction does n’t take into account your race or socioeconomic status. It does not appear at your life place”, he said.
” When addicted, it merely ravages you. There is no returning until you purposefully fill that need for assistance.
Both he and Mr. Ng said it is important to recognize the suffering caused by medications, such as the monthly Medicine Victims Remembrance Day, which was observed on Friday. A roving museum on substance abuse was held at Ngee Ann City as part of the celebration.
The memorial has brought this discourse on dependency up to the national awareness, said Mr Gopal.
” Addiction has spent a lot of time in the dark. It’s actually taboo. We do n’t want to talk about it in the least. I believe that this has allowed us as a world to recognize that this is happening and that this is happening.
