Drug Addiction is emerging to be a serious concern in the district area, especially in the younger generation leading to dangerous consequences not just for the person using drugs, but on the family and society at large. Drug abuse has resulted in an increase in crime rate and had an overall detrimental impact on society. Prevention has proven to be the most effective strategy to counter this problem.
The Central Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment is working for Drug Demand Reduction in the country and under its interventions it coordinates, implements and monitors several interventions like prevention, assessment of extent of the problem, treatment and rehabilitation of users, after care and follow up, dissemination of information among the public and generation of awareness in the community. With the support of Central ministry following programs are being implemented in the Sri Ganganagr district.
(A) Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts (IRCA) – Integrated Rehabilitation Center for Addicts (IRCA), under the Scheme for Prevention of Alcoholism and Substance (Drugs) Abuse–Supported by Ministry of Social justice and Empowerment, Government of India, New Delhi. Currently 3 IRCA is being supported by ministry.
(B) Outreach Drop in Centre (ODIC) – It is a community-based facility for substance users. The ODIC caters to individuals, particularly youth to who use various substances and those who have the least access to resources. An ODIC is a doorway for substance users to a non-threatening and caring environment
(C) Community Based Peer-led Intervention (CPLI) – In this approach, the Peer Educater reach out to clients in their different hangout areas such as parks, colonies in the areas. Similarly, other service providers in the community also involved to develop a good network, which further strengthen the process of referral system. In this manner, the concept of the program becomes a community-based approach rather than an institutionalized one.

In the district, public awareness programmes are being organised on the evils of drugs, staying away from drugs and against drugs by organising street plays like “Arthi Se Pehle Zimmedaari Uthalo” twice a week at Gram Panchayats, schools, colleges, block level, various organisations and institutions. In schools, children are being made aware of the evils of drugs through Bal Sabha/ painting/ essay writing/debate competitions etc. and are being guided to stay away from drugs in future. Principals posted in schools have been trained as master trainers. Physical teachers have been trained as counsellors to encourage children studying in schools to stay away from drugs, adopt a healthy daily routine and encourage children about it. Positive changes have been inspired by sharing experiences of youth who have given up drug abuse in awareness programmes/meetings/workshops. By including the topic of de-addiction in the core agenda of meetings/programmes/trainings of various departments, a pledge of de-addiction is being taken in every programme at the Gram Panchayat, Block level and District level, which has increased the seriousness, understanding and alertness about this topic in the minds of the people.
