Amal Khashoggi, director of the women's section of the General Directorate of Drug Control in Riyadh, warned of the lack of awareness among mothers of an addict near them without discovering his addiction. She told Al-Hayat that some women, whatever the symptoms may seem obvious, are too simple. The basis is that they are medications obtained from the pharmacy, and some children exploit the ignorance of their mothers and pass the idea that the pills being taken are just painkillers. "
It also addressed important issues related to the world of drug control, such as the development of methods and methods of raising awareness and ways to update them and orientation to include drug awareness in the curriculum.

QUESTION : Do you feel good about your performance in the fight against drugs and the efforts made in general? Are there branches of management in Saudi Arabia?
- There is a branch in Jeddah in addition to Riyadh, and the need calls for more than two branches, and we have good energies, and I think from my point of view that our work is broader and more comprehensive than the current efforts, I hope we are not confined to the administrative side or data recording or follow a specific department, and that our role More in terms of getting closer to the families of addicts, addicted women, as well as female students in schools, with the education of the family in general and developed keep up with the developments of the times for mothers and women specifically wherever they are and this aspect is limited and we reach them within the limits of awareness lecture, we would like to discuss cases, our administrative work and our energies Our staff and career are possible Tanna is considered excellent and can make use of these energies neglected and eager to serve the nation.
QUESTION : What about the women's section of the General Directorate of Drug Control?
- I did not exist in the beginnings, but according to my knowledge the women's section in the Department of Drug Control began with one employee after its establishment in Riyadh in 1408 AH, and ended now with more than 40 employees, which is an administrative and another field awareness, and administrative special registration of monthly cases and statistics for Saudi regions and files Defendants and cases, awareness raising means lectures in schools, courses and activities.
As we are a public administration, we supervise the activities of women participating in the Janadriyah festival in a large section, in addition to participating in the events held by the civil status, customs and passports, and on the International Day for Drug Control by intensifying awareness and distributing posters, leaflets and others. We also supervise drug rehabilitation awareness courses as well as national participation abroad.
Is the section available on a hotline?
- Yes, we have a hotline that provides any consultation and we receive any phone or attendance reports.
But it is reported that some wives of addicts suffer disbelief, saying that their complaint against husbands when reporting malicious?
- We have to investigate in case of reporting and when the report comes we are keen to verify the extent of its sincerity, and the possibility that some wives use this method to discipline the husband, and we in order to objectivity and fairness we ask if they are residents of Riyadh personal presence and provide proof and identity in order to avoid the problem of impersonation, or Our efforts should be free of charge, and we try to investigate the objectivity after receiving the communication and send it to the competent authority in the administration to complete the rest of the proceedings.
From your site now, do women and “mothers in particular” have awareness and the ability to discriminate in the event of a child becoming addicted?
- No, as far as our efforts and what the media direct, but there are categories of women simple and culture modest, and here women need intensive awareness, especially those who have an addict at home, some women no matter how obvious symptoms, but they are too simple may provide him with pills He asks for medication from the pharmacy, she knows he is in pain and needs treatment.If his condition worsens, she thinks he is in a psychological state, but she doesn't imagine drugs have anything to do with what happens. Just painkillers.
Modernization of awareness methods
QUESTION : Do you think that the available means of awareness of the dangers of drugs are sufficient?
- What is available is good, and there are important efforts being made, but we lack the development in methods and methods of raising awareness - for example, the awareness of students in schools finally seemed boring compared to what is raised on any issue in the media and satellite channels, especially as this generation is aware and aware and knows that drug use is a problem It is unacceptable, but at the same time it is not possible to rely on traditional lectures, which makes them feel that our methods are traditional and boring.
QUESTION : What did you do after concluding it?
- We started to update these methods, such as replacing lectures and workshops, in addition to avoiding stereotyping in the methods of subtraction, and our shift to simulate the awareness of girls on the level of thinking that we take into account its progress, especially with the Internet and others, and here we find dealing with their cognitive awareness always advanced as a result of their knowledge and expansion Their awareness, and therefore their awareness of the dangers of drugs is necessarily more and greater than the generations that preceded them, this generation awaits creative methods of awareness raising in line with the development of their stage and must be diversified.
The abuse and promotion rate is high
Is the rate of abuse and promotion is high, and is there a strict application and laws to curb the high rates of trafficking and abuse, how to reassure the mother in light of the alarming figures that the media see us?
- Yes is high, and awareness must be launched from home, the mother begins to raise awareness and focus and follow-up children, starting from the small things, and clarify to the very young child that ordinary materials used in primary school Addiction, clarification has what it means addiction and what it entails suffering.
Are there smugglers targeting even children?
- Yes there is, and smugglers try through simple tools to be the beginning and the entrance, there are smugglers pass them to the child and put very harmful types, and this makes us focus on mothers to educate the child since early childhood, some of the tools used by children put volatile solvents give the child a sense of fun, and there Indeed, young girls, according to studies in neighboring Gulf countries, addiction to addiction of young girls as young as 7 to 8 years old, and is considered the beginning of abuse and are not considered addicts.
QUESTION : Is there a tendency to include drug awareness in our curricula?
- There is a study that started last year with the aim of raising awareness of drug damage through curricula. I think it may end next Hijri year after studying the data, age groups and different educational stages.
What about media outreach?
- I see that there is a lack of local media, and the lack of follow-up of young people themselves to local programs compared to others, and this does not prevent the intensification of awareness, and in any case there is an age group is feared rarely read newspapers, hence reaching them in their places and show interesting programs for them It became inevitable and necessary.
Resist salvation from addiction
Are there cases that resist recovery from addiction?
- Yes, there is a lot, if the addict reaches the stage of treatment, it is necessary to have an integrated program and concerted efforts between a team of therapeutic programs if in the hospital, and also needs social support with the family if the family does not accept it and did not have the same conditions before the addiction, the possibility of relapse is very -An addict if he does not want to cure and quit no matter what programs and create the right conditions can not be cured without a strong will and subjective desire of him.
How satisfied are you with the control efforts?
- From the point of view of the drug control department or the hospital specialized in receiving cases, we are trying with all our efforts to develop and diversify and strive, but whatever efforts we make, in return the promoter, smuggler and beneficiaries of the drug trade diversify their methods to reach more victims.
In our hospitals, the concept of treatment of addicts and mental health is mixed, what do you think?
- It is not supposed to mix the addict with psychiatric patients, even if he suffers from psychological repercussions and cases caused by addiction, treatment of the cause goes away and this interference weakens the power of mental health and treatment of addiction, I suggest separation to harvest better results.
Hospitals specialized in treating addicts do not receive addicts!
In response to her question about the availability of women's sections containing addicts wishing to recover from addiction in Saudi hospitals, the director of the women's section in the General Administration of Drug Control in Riyadh, Amal Khashoggi, said that Al-Amal Hospital in Riyadh is dedicated to receiving cases of addiction. There are no sections for hypnosis in Saudi Arabia. "
She added: "It is rumored recently that there is a desire to open a hypnosis section for addicts, but now reviews benefit from the services provided at the clinical level as a review, and there are areas where mental health plays this role." "The hospital's available capacity suffers from overwhelming demand and does not tolerate the very large numbers," he said, adding that there is an attempt to increase capacity, "but it remains insufficient. On the other hand, there is a fear of expansion that may give a feeling to addicted individuals that the addict can Claiming the desire for treatment to get a chance for him and deprives another person who deserves it, he fears that the availability of treatment may expand the patches of addicts, it is necessary for the addict to understand that these possibilities were not easily available until he expected that he could addicted and then find incubation and thus easier not to qui .
