Types of patients & their problems:

Most patients are youths or belong to the lower strata of society. Drug use is an illness, a disease that has an adverse effect on the addicts’ families also. Lack of awareness, along with the social stigma attached to addiction, prevents people from coming forward. These people do not know whom to turn to for help. Out of all the addicts, only about 2% actually come for treatment, that too after 5 to 6 years of being alcohol or drug dependent. The government de-addiction centers are vacant, as people do not come forward. This is where volunteers of the Art of Living make a difference.

Many of the addicts are approached through the women of their families. Women suffer a lot because of drug addiction, as they are subjected to mental & physical abuse. 80% of the crimes are committed when the criminals are drunk. Addiction is detrimental to the addict’s health and severe addiction is fatal too. These drugs are easily available but are so costly that the addicts are forced to steal money, first from their family members and friends, and later from others. Since the drugs cause dependency, it is very difficult to get rid of them even if the addict wishes to do so. Drug addicts become a nuisance to the family and to the society. Many youngsters are drug addicts.

Volunteers contacted the women, who in turn put them in touch with members of their family who were addicts. The special sessions for the addicts were started in PGIMER’s Inpatient Drug De-addiction Centre in an enclosed environment. After a few sessions, the patients said that they were able to relax and sleep in peace, something that they had not been able to do for a long time.

However, the process of de-addiction is not easy. The patients are required to stay in the Drug De-addiction Centre for about a month or so. After a month, they sometimes return home, back to the same environment and situations that started their addiction in the first place. The major problem that is faced is the chance of a relapse. Drug use is a chronic relapsing disorder like diabetes and hypertension, and relapse is a part of the recovery process. Detoxification and medical treatment forms only about 20% of the complete process. Rehabilitation of the patients and re-integration into the mainstream is a major issue. The important thing is that worldwide studies have indicated spirituality to be a very potent protective factor to prevent relapse.
