This Is Your Brain On Alcohol

The message to middle school students in this peer education program is clear: alcohol use is not healthy or cool; most kids do not use alcohol; and those who drink risk irreversible damage to their developing brains. ©2006

Addiction and the Human Brain
Drug addiction is a disease of the brain, and teens are at highest risk for acquiring this disease.

This program illustrates the amazingly complicated structure and function of the brain using colorful and compelling visuals and computer animations. It explains the changes to the brain caused by prolonged use of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, nicotine, alcohol and methamphetamine, and shows why voluntary drug use eventually becomes involuntary and compulsive.
