Book on Drug Rehabilitation

 

For this assignment, we were asked to make a book about our system, I made a book that is 52 pages on drug rehabilitation in general.

The cover of the book shows illustrations of the most common drugs, it covers drugs such as marijuana, mushroom, ecstasy and etc. I included an illustration of alcohol because any substance that could make an individual addicted is considered as a drug, and that alcohol abuse is a common issue.

The first half of the book educate readers about what drug is and the different types of drugs with its short-term and long-term effects. I chose to talk about alcohol, ecstasy, marijuana and cigarettes as these are most common drugs and are more relevant in our life as these are the drugs that people do the most.

 

The image above shows a codex that explores how the consumption of drugs, such as tobacco, could influence the human body. For example, tobacco could add pressure on portal circulation in the throat, which increase risk of haemorrhage and lung cancer.

Then, I introduced the topic of rehabilitation by explaining the two types of rehab centers (private and non-profit) with images that I took when I visit there for my last assignment. I also introduced the two types of treatment methods, which are impatient and outpatient treatment.

For the last few pages of the book, I looked up archives on the topic of drugs. I found advertisements from the past that educate the public about drugs and persuade the public to not do drugs. Something interesting I found from these archive images is that drug was used as medicines in the past and it reminds me of medical marijuana.

The last two pages for my book is about celebrity and drugs. There are a lot of celebrities who do drugs as a form of getaway from their stress and pressure. I chose to use an image of Demi Lovato because she produced a documentary that explores her journey of being a drug addict to become sober again.
