REHAB CENTRE

Drug addiction is becoming a major health problem in Nagaland with some estimates indicating that as many as 15 million people in India could become addicts by the end of 2004. Link between drug abuse and crime is well established but recently the association between drug addiction and HIV/AIDS has been a prime concern for health authorities in India. A significant recent shift in drug use patterns in India is the move from smoking to injecting drug use. Heroin, buprenorphine (tidigesic/tamgesic) and dextropropoxyphene (spasmo-proxyvan) are the most commonly injected drugs in India. In a study of Indian opioid addicts, researchers found 8.3% of injectible drug users were HIV-positive. The drug problem and its consequences have been particularly alarming in the north-eastern states. In some states of north-east 80% of all injectible drug users were HIV positive. Trafficking from Myanmar brings in high quality heroin, which is usually injected by abusers.

Our organization had the desire to do social work especially in areas related to drug abuse and youth, for long. The problem as we find our self still so ill-equipped professionally but we believe we can start the project. The rehab centres and programmes in north-east are highly inadequate. With not proper or lack of follow-up programmes, most of the addicts once released from the centres get back to their old ways within a few days. With this in light, here are few steps for addicts to remain drugfree and better understand their recovery process. People who relapse aren’t suddenly taken drunk. Most experience progressive warning signs that reactivate denial and cause so much pain that self-medication with alcohol or drugs seems like a good idea. This is not a conscious process. These warning signs develop automatically and unconsciously. Since most recovering people have never been taught how to identify and manage relapse warning signs, they don’t notice them until the pain becomes too severe to ignore.
