Health jobs could tackle drugs abuse-Health Careers News 30 Oct 2009

Those wishing to find health jobs may be interested in the comments of an expert, who discussed cultural attitudes to drugs in the UK.

Sebastian Saville, executive director of Release, suggested that drug use is not as big a problem as the media portray, which anyone looking to start health careers may have their own response to.

Regarding the matter, he said: "It does seem to be a subject in which people become hysterical when they talk about it."

He added: "If the general public perceive moving cannabis from class C to class B as somehow being tough on crime, they'll do it, irrespective of the consequences."

The comments could be of interest to those eager to work in drug rehabilitation centres, it could be argued.

Meanwhile, research from the University of the West of England's Alcohol & Health Research Unit recently revealed that if current trends continue - 90,800 people could die avoidable deaths from alcohol by 2019.
