00:00:05 #1 Marijuana, pills, mind-changing chemicals, and heroin.
00:00:08 #2 These are all part of the drug abuse problem, one which grows daily.
00:00:12 #3 It seems that man has a low pain tolerance.
00:00:15 #4 He cannot or will not endure anything without using some kind of drug to separate him
00:00:20 #5 if only momentarily from the problems of day-to-day living.
00:00:24 #6 To sum up, it's not the chemicals being abused that's important.
00:00:27 #7 It's the reasons why they are being abused.
00:00:30 #8 For the businessman, drugs may be an escape from the pressures of competition.
00:00:34 #9 for the housewife and escape from family obligations,
00:00:37 #10 for the professional and escape from decision making,
00:00:40 #11 and for the student of brief respite from conformity.
00:00:43 #12 The problem is clear-cut, the drugs are well-known,
00:00:45 #13 the users have been identified,
00:00:47 #14 but the solution is not so easily defined.
00:00:50 #15 We have to turn people around,
00:00:52 #16 help them get rid of their chemical pacifiers,
00:00:54 #17 and turn them on to living.
00:00:56 #18 It won't be easy, but then anything really worthwhile,
00:00:59 #19 seldom is.
00:01:00 #20 The Narcotic Addiction Control Commission
00:01:02 #21 is working on the problem in three program areas.
00:01:05 #22 We'll comment on research and rehabilitation
00:01:07 #23 and concentrate on our prevention program.
00:01:10 #24 To prevent drug abuse, we have to know its dimensions
00:01:13 #25 and the conditions which promote it.
00:01:15 #26 Conditions such as environment,
00:01:17 #27 how one sees his role in a complex society,
00:01:19 #28 and how one is affected by the attitudes
00:01:21 #29 of family, friends and coworkers.
00:01:24 #30 Research will give us the key to the why and what
00:01:26 #31 of the drug problem.
00:01:28 #32 Why people turn to drugs as an escape or problem solver.
00:01:31 #33 What drugs are being abused and why?
00:01:34 #34 The commission's rehabilitation program is geared to the heroin addict who is a troubled person both in mind and body.
00:01:45 #35 After detoxification, the addict is given whatever medical and dental care is needed,
00:01:50 #36 and then he is guided through a series of psychological tests, sessions of group therapy, and individual counseling where needed.
00:01:57 #37 Special emphasis is placed on either learning a new trade or brushing up on previous skills
00:02:02 #38 skills that will enable the resident to return to society as a useful productive drug-free
00:02:08 #39 citizen.
00:02:09 #40 Our prevention effort is geared to everyone from the Tikes in kindergarten to the senior
00:02:13 #41 citizens and all who fall in between because everyone has the potential to become a drug
00:02:18 #42 abuser.
00:02:19 #43 It's up to the prevention unit to maintain a constant flow of drug information to
00:02:23 #44 the general public, to act as a prime mover in community involvement, and to provide
00:02:28 #45 the support services and know-how at the grass roots level so each community can
00:02:32 #46 mount an effective anti-drug abuse program which will be innovative and
00:02:37 #47 adorable. The approach to drug prevention is as varied as the local
00:02:41 #48 community's assessment of its particular drug problem. The initial step in
00:02:45 #49 prevention is communication. We figured if people could find the time to read
00:02:53 #50 they could learn. Our first publication, Attack on Narcotics, was off the press
00:02:57 #51 in early 1967. It outlined the story of narcotics and it described how drugs such as opium were
00:03:03 #52 cut and converted into heroin. It outlined the treatment of an addict. It explained withdrawal
00:03:09 #53 and group therapy and revealed plans for the state's extensive rehabilitation program.
00:03:14 #54 It also gave us a close-up look at the addict, who he was, what he was, and the reasons
00:03:19 #55 why he would rather be hooked than help. This was the first step to beginning of
00:03:23 #56 the public awakening to the drug problem.
00:03:25 #57 We were at the starting line and we knew we had a lot of ground to cover and millions
00:03:30 #58 of people to reach.
00:03:31 #59 And what is even more important, we knew how to do it.
00:03:34 #60 We began our People of People Drug Education Program in early 1967 by opening seven community
00:03:40 #61 drug abuse prevention centers in the New York City area and in Buffalo, the areas
00:03:44 #62 most affected at that time by the heroin problem.
00:03:53 #63 We put our roots down in these local communities and staffed our centers with people who had knowledge of the overall drug problem
00:04:00 #64 and were capable of helping the community identify its areas of drug abuse.
00:04:04 #65 These were people who could open the lines of communication, people who could share information and know-how,
00:04:10 #66 people who could exchange ideas and pool resources and techniques and equally important,
00:04:15 #67 people who could tell the drug story as they knew it and do it factually and intelligently.
00:04:21 #68 And they told the story.
00:04:24 #69 Using film, slides, and audio tapes in elementary, junior, and senior high schools.
00:04:34 #70 The visual aids were used primarily to break the ice,
00:04:37 #71 to establish a starting point for the give-and-take in the rap session which followed.
00:04:41 #72 The students were quick to point out their views on drugs,
00:04:44 #73 their overall attitude to the whole drug scene, parental influences, peer-group pressure,
00:04:50 #74 and other problems often related to but not confined to drugs.
00:04:54 #75 The staff members have learned well how to talk with students and not at them and on occasion an
00:05:00 #76 Ex addict would share his drug experiences as he lived
00:05:04 #77 Center staff members were also busy filling their monthly calendars with speaking engagements for service clubs
00:05:10 #78 PTAs and church groups. They were willing to communicate with any group large or small
00:05:14 #79 Who showed concern about the drug problem and very few of any communities were totally immune to the drug problem
00:05:21 #80 And when non addicts wanted information on the commission's rehabilitation program and methods of certification to it, they found the help and advice they needed right there in their own hometown.
00:05:31 #81 Staff people explained the program, the locations of the centers and the addicts rights covered under the law.
00:05:37 #82 And still working at the local level, our center reps were out in the field conducting seminars for community leaders and professional groups so they could become part of our teacher power.
00:05:48 #83 These were the people who would be effective in organizing an ongoing drug education program.
00:05:53 #84 We had developed our attack, increased our knowledge, and equally important, we were communicating.
00:06:00 #85 Engaging in long-range people-to-people dialogue, seeking answers to our complex problem.
00:06:06 #86 As our staff expanded, had our knowledge increased so that our need for a new attack.
00:06:14 #87 A broad-based informational quarterly that touched all the bases of drug fact.
00:06:18 #88 drug fact then the printed word exploded with additional drug facts and we
00:06:22 #89 spread the word with our pamphlets each one factual right to the point these are
00:06:27 #90 only a small sample of the pamphlets and book was available to the public just
00:06:30 #91 fully asking and then we had another thought some of our New Yorkers lived
00:06:35 #92 in outlying areas far removed from our prevention centers now how could they
00:06:39 #93 get the help and information they needed we had the answer we took on the
00:06:44 #94 road in our mobile unit a compact office theater workshop and drug information
00:06:50 #95 center where people could see a variety of drug displays including marijuana
00:06:57 #96 delirious the up and down pills and heroin they could watch films on the
00:07:09 #97 drug abuse problem and listen to the voices of former addicts matter of
00:07:16 #98 fact the first time I took off it was in a house with 12 people 12 kids like
00:07:20 #99 same age as myself, 14, 15, 16. Today, out of that 12, they're only four alive. The rest are all overdoses or related, things related to heroin, such as swarovski, whatever, behind advanced cases of jointness or whatever, but they were all one fellow even on themselves.
00:07:40 #100 himself. This was part of the message we had to get across to young and older
00:07:45 #101 life and we were making progress with our mobile unit but the public was asking
00:07:50 #102 for more. More community drug abuse prevention centers, especially in Upstate
00:07:57 #103 New York where the public was concerned with the increased abuse of amphetamines,
00:08:01 #104 sleeping pills, marijuana and LSD. So in 1968 and 1969 we opened eight new
00:08:09 #105 centers in Rochester Syracuse, Utica, Binghamton, Albany, Nassau Suffolk, Queens, Westchester,
00:08:22 #106 and Rockland counties giving us a total of 16.
00:08:25 #107 This is Commissioner Dolan's with members of our professional relations staff, people
00:08:30 #108 who are working with other pros, doctors, lawyers, nurses and teachers, trying to
00:08:35 #109 get our message across and helping them train others to cope with the drug problem.
00:08:40 #110 Our staff people work with students and administrators to help them pinpoint the scope of the drug problem
00:08:46 #111 and then together work out ways to combat it.
00:08:50 #112 Our specialists are working with narcotic guidance councils on methods of training, funding
00:08:54 #113 and the necessary follow-up.
00:08:57 #114 College relations staff spends many hours on campus working with students, faculty
00:09:01 #115 and administrators setting up training courses for the student faculty population,
00:09:06 #116 at much the same as the town or city in which the college is located.
00:09:10 #117 They also work the closer times between the campus drug council and the local NGC, so there
00:09:16 #118 will be an eventual wedding of the town and the gown.
00:09:20 #119 Commission films played a large part in our prevention program, films such as Three, The
00:09:24 #120 Seekers and Groovy, and we have more films in production.
00:09:34 #121 These films deal with topics for elementary students, parents, and the black and Puerto
00:09:38 #122 American communities because the need for them is great.
00:09:43 #123 But greater still is the need for involvement by the people of hometown New York State.
00:09:48 #124 They wanted to join the fight.
00:09:49 #125 They had some ideas, but they needed direction.
00:09:51 #126 And that direction came from the Dury-A bill of 1968.
00:09:55 #127 Here is Speaker Perry B.
00:09:56 #128 Dury-A Jr.
00:09:57 #129 Under our bill first adopted in 1968, the legislative body of any county, town, city or
00:10:05 #130 village or school board may create a Narcotics Guidance Council. This council
00:10:12 #131 would comprise seven members, among them a doctor, a lawyer, a clergyman, and other
00:10:19 #132 concerned citizens including teenagers. Its primary objective is to be a source
00:10:24 #133 of information to the community and in this way the community as a whole can
00:10:30 #134 tackle the drug abuse problem at the grassroots level. The Narcotic Addiction
00:10:36 #135 Control Commission stands ready to help these councils with training, support
00:10:40 #136 services, and state monies applied on a matching basis with the local community.
00:10:45 #137 The over 300 narcotic guidance councils across the state play a variety of
00:10:50 #138 roles in combating drug abuse depending on community needs and resources. The
00:10:55 #139 council's work on drug programs for local schools, they're involved in film
00:10:59 #140 shows, poster campaigns, and they also offer information and counseling services.
00:11:04 #141 They coordinate local drug abuse prevention and treatment efforts, or they may establish
00:11:09 #142 such services as drug crisis information programs or telephone hotlines.
00:11:14 #143 I just get back from the dance and my friends gave me some drinks.
00:11:22 #144 I feel strange.
00:11:23 #145 I never felt this way before.
00:11:24 #146 Do you have any idea what kind of clothes you took?
00:11:26 #147 I don't know.
00:11:27 #148 Some white ones, some red ones.
00:11:28 #149 I don't know.
00:11:29 #150 Did you take anything else besides the pills?
00:11:30 #151 you take anything else beside the pill.
00:11:32 #152 I had some beer to drink too.
00:11:34 #153 Now is there anyone there with you right now?
00:11:36 #154 My boyfriend's here.
00:11:37 #155 Has he taken anything?
00:11:38 #156 No, but I've given him.
00:11:39 #157 I'm scared.
00:11:40 #158 Don't panic.
00:11:41 #159 Have your boyfriend write down this number
00:11:43 #160 where you can get some help.
00:11:44 #161 Here's the number.
00:11:45 #162 678-9090.
00:11:48 #163 The instant communicators, TV and radio,
00:11:54 #164 gave us public service airtime to carry our message
00:11:56 #165 into the homes of some 18 million people.
00:11:59 #166 During many TV program segments
00:12:01 #167 from sign on to sign off, the focus was on drugs and commission produced spots like this one,
00:12:06 #168 fill the home TV screen.
00:12:08 #169 Springtime and a quiet flow into summer.
00:12:12 #170 A time for nature to spring out fresh and new.
00:12:15 #171 A time to grow.
00:12:16 #172 And a time for you to grow into the kind of person you want to be.
00:12:20 #173 The kind of person you know you can be.
00:12:23 #174 Whatever you do, whatever you decide to become, affects everyone.
00:12:27 #175 Your family, your friends, all of society.
00:12:30 #176 It's a time to plan, a time to dream, a time to live life anew.
00:12:35 #177 You can do all of this. You can change. You can influence.
00:12:39 #178 You can mold anything, anyone. And more important, you can do all of this without drugs.
00:12:46 #179 200 radio stations gave us good spot coverage at home or on the road.
00:13:01 #180 The New York State Narcotic Addiction Control Commission asks you to listen to a young drug addict.
00:13:06 #181 Between 35 and 15 of a period of three or four years.
00:13:09 #182 The question asked was, how many times have you tripped out on mind-changing chemicals?
00:13:14 #183 He was also asked why he tripped at all.
00:13:16 #184 His reply? Defiance.
00:13:18 #185 He said there is no defiance in doing something the so-called establishment already does.
00:13:23 #186 This addict also said he had personal problems.
00:13:26 #187 Defiance. Personal problems.
00:13:28 #188 Reasons to damage your brain.
00:13:30 #189 We're seeing the links in our chain of education for prevention of drug abuse.
00:13:49 #190 There are no easy solutions, no pat answers, no proven formulas in dealing with a drug problem.
00:13:55 #191 Our message has always been not don't take drugs, but why take drugs?
00:14:01 #192 The problem didn't start overnight and it won't be solved overnight.
00:14:17 #193 With everyone working together, teachers, housewives, businessmen and students, we will get our message across.
00:14:23 #194 I'm a girl who likes to play in the future. I've always had my own dreams about the future and I want very much for them to come true.
00:14:29 #195 I don't want drugs to spoil it.
00:14:31 #196 First of all, I want to be happy and have a family,
00:14:33 #197 and if I take drugs, it would probably ruin it for me.
00:14:36 #198 I think people who take drugs have phonies who don't want to
00:14:39 #199 or can't face reality and the problems that face them.
00:14:42 #200 I also think that there are selfish people who don't care
00:14:44 #201 about their parents and their friends who care about them
00:14:47 #202 who just think about themselves.
00:14:48 #203 I think that drugs in a worthwhile and happy future
00:14:51 #204 don't go together, and I want to have both.
00:14:54 #205 She got our message, and now she'll tell others.
00:14:58 #206 You can't make it.
00:14:59 #207 It goes.
