It was observed that drug addiction has gone a long way to create several health problems and dangers in our societies., also students in Nigeria like many other countries of the world are developing addiction to psychoactive substances. This paper tends to create health awareness on causes and prevention of drug addiction for Biology Students in Tertiary Institution in Nigeria. The Presentation involved the conceptual framework which includes meaning of drug, concept of drug addiction, classification\/ kinds of drug addiction, factors that increase the risk of addiction, symptoms of drug addiction, causes of drug addiction, effects \/consequences of drug addiction, prevention of drug addiction.
