Drug Addiction is classified as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite adverse consequences. As it involves functional changes to brain, it is considered as a brain disorder which may acquire lifelong efforts in treating individual who has stopped taking drugs. Yet, addiction is treatable disorder and there are various research-based methods that assist people to stop using drugs.
The problem of drug addiction is complex and agreed globally as a chronic and relapsing disease. Drugs directly affect the user’s brain and can affect their thoughts, feelings, and behaviour changes. This problem also poses a serious threat to the health, safety, prosperity and prosperity of the family, community and the country, as well as to the addict itself. The final impact of this problem can affect the overall development of the country or in particular resulting in misery to the addicts and their families.
Treatment and rehabilitation is a process of helping addicts to stop searching, compulsive drug use and subsequently abandoning drug addiction habits. This process is implemented in different settings, approaches and timeframes. It involves the process of intervention and support to enable individuals to deal with addiction problems, make the right decisions in relation to the life and integrate themselves in family and community.
