Chennaites have been battling drug and alcohol addiction since a very long time. However, the cases of admissions in de-addiction centres have seen a rise of 20% in the last 12 years. The inflation in the number of addicts during the last decade has been fuelled by the emergence of high-end drugs like LSD and popularisation of prescription drugs such as codeine and morphine. Marijuana has been a popular drug since the 1980s in the city making adolescents its main victims. A recent study concluded that children in the age group of 12-15 years are addicted to cheap addictive substances owing to the lack of knowledge of other drugs and the fear of obtaining them. The study found cannabis and hardcore drugs like methamphetamine and LSD to be popular among college-going kids. The most common form of addiction among female residents of Chennai has been found to be alcohol addiction. The city has also observed a rise in the number of retired officials falling prey to addiction. Despite the alarming rise in the number of new cases of addiction, Chennai is fighting back through its robust network of government and private rehab centres.
