The very name of our association expresses our
non-ambiguity attitude that imposes itself, to
tell it so, over the politician’s doubts in the
present debate in regards to an efficient policy
in drug addiction matter. All other taken
measures on this subject won’t be efficient and
won’t safeguard the health of our youth and the
general population if they don’t lay over an
informed knowledge of drugs and drug addiction.
The use of drugs isn’t a "natural" phase in a
life’s person. It‘s attached to accurate
factors. That’s why we can prevent and treat
drug addicts all over their disease stages. The
use of narcotics isn’t anymore an "entertainment". It’s a anomaly of development
harmful to individuals and to the whole society.
Drug addiction
prevention
– for being more effective
– has to have for objective narcotics non-use.
Primary prevention lies over the drug
proscription.
The creation of injection rooms or the distribution of heroin that
some assert, is the sign of a resignation, a
capitulation in front of the problem of
drug-addiction. These measurements result in
maintaining the drug addicts in the dependence.
Early detection
and took in charge of
individuals in danger, in one hand, and drug
addicts therapy in other the hand, are measures
more humans, more effectives and more economic
than keeping these drug addicts in dependency,
sickness, disability, distress and criminality.
Drug addicts are unhappy,
their health is in danger and they have lost
their free will. That’s why they need help under
the form of
therapy towards abstinence
and social
reinsertion. Sympathy consists in doesn’t
abandon them but to help them to come out the
drug addiction and find all over again their
place in society.
To
create "injection rooms" (citizen drug
centres where the drug addict can get a shoot of
an approved drug in a medical control
environment that assures that the dose isn’t
mortal and the dealer in charge provides a drug
according to NF norms), like some people
foresee, will be to renounce, to surrender to
the problem and to indicate the wrong path to
these individuals in danger.
The individual freedom
finishes the moment when
it invades and troubles the other’s and creates
an atmosphere of bad living.
Equality
is also everyone’s right
to live as they wish, as long as his choices or
attitudes don’t carry danger to himself or to
the others.
Fraternity
consists in giving
assistance and support for its next so that it
lives better. It is also to help it to preserve
or restore its dignity of man. That obviously concerns
also to drug addicted population, population in
danger, often marginal.
We
are opposed to all that tends to promote
narcotics legalisation.
Us support people,
associations and organizations which, in France
and abroad, fights resolutely against drug since
they act in the respect of the principles of
freedom, of tolerance and is opposed to any form
sectarianism.
In this respect, each
citizen has a role to play to protect the young
people against drug and to thus preserve their
futures.
