Terrorism is considered grave problem of the 21 centuries by
the world leaders but the threat to the happiness of young generation by the drug
addiction is not tiny. We cannot send army to fight drug addiction but can send
for terrorism. We need to explore the societal failures to give youth proper
direction and today’s generation is engulfing itself in the mud of addiction to
find the “good time” and this path is very tough. There is no “good time” which
drug can bring. It is the mere illusion which eventually ruins their life and career.
This pursuit of finding “good time” meet the doom of addict if not timely rescued.
It comes the time during addiction when addict realize that
it is bad habit but find it hard to resist the craving for the drug. Many times
addicts may be successful in their effort to resist the craving but it does not
last very long and they start using drugs again. It is hard to fight addiction
alone, without knowledge or without professional assistance and the support of
family and friends in this dire time of crisis.
The professional
treatment helps curing addiction. Following are the steps-
Assessment of the addiction
This is the very first step in the
direction to cure the problem. There are various tests which are done to assess
the gravity of the problem. The severity of the addiction and the subsequent
damage or effect on the body of the patient is measured. This helps in faming
the plan or program to cure the addiction.
Detoxification of the patient
This is the second test and this contains the
medication. It is seen that in majority of cases addiction of drug or alcohol
leaves the sever effects on the body of the patient and medication is used to
mitigate the symptoms.
Treatment by the medical staff
This is third and the core of the drug addiction treatment program. It
improves the behavioral of the patient. The counseling is done for changing
thoughts, emotions and helps in consolidating them. The victim adapts the new
and changed behavior. This leads the victim towards the normalization.

permanent libration from addiction. Attending support groups, life and career
development program and sober living services etc are mandatory to make the
