There is no denying that drug abuse has existed in the country for a long time now. From major states like Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka to small cities like Dibrugarh and Palakkad, drug addiction is emerging as a more serious concern than it ever had. Any sort of drug dependence lures people towards the most prominent consumption of the same. While people of different age groups are falling victim to abuse of drugs, a recently conducted survey reveals that the young lads from the preadolescence and childhood periods are progressively becoming habitual to substance abuse. The news claiming the arrest of opium traffickers in Jharkhand broke on the internet most recently. It was two months ago when the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) busted the huge drug consignment which belonged to a notorious drug trafficker. Though the entire young generation is on the brink of being lost to drugs in Jharkhand, the rising drug curse demands the immediate intervention of the state government. While it is good to see the authorities in action, there is still a long way to go to conquer the battle with this menace and for that, the government really needs to come up with a more comprehensive and conceptual framework. Also, a deliberate strategy across the board should be implemented to ensure the strict action against the abusers as well as the perpetrators who are operating drug trafficking as a regular business now. It can begin from setting the right foundation in young minds from the origin. This can be done by spreading sensibility of adverse effects of substance abuse to the people. On the other hand, people should be more open to approaching rehab centres if they are looking forward to pulling out drugs and alcohol from their life. RehabPath, an individual initiative, narrows down the search for treatment providers and provides reliable information about each treatment provider, de-addiction facilities and many more. In their Jharkhand Recovery Directory, they provide accurate and reliable information on several nasha mukti kendra or drug and alcohol rehabs spread across Jharkhand. You can also find unbiased information about more than 1,500 rehab centres across India in RehabPath’s directory.
