Abstract
This article concerns the drug abuse related definitions of the words “education” and “prevention” as they have come to be used today. The writer states that “prevention” has come to have a wide spectrum of meanings encompassing in some contexts the arenas of treatment and rehabilitation. “Education” as it is used in drug abuse related contexts is generally used in a restricted sense although this has been changing. She infers that the changing uses of these words reflects an increasingly more enlightened approach to ameliorating the problem of drug abuse.Keywords
