Drug addiction is a growing problem in India . Defined as a disease in
1956 by the World Health Organisation and the American Psychiatric Association,
drug abuse is "the illicit consumption of any naturally occurring or
pharmaceutical substance for the purpose of changing the way in which a person
feels, thinks or behaves, without understanding or taking into consideration
the damaging physical and mental side-effects that are caused."
The common drugs of abuse amongst children and adolescents in India
are tobacco and alcohol but use of illicit and stronger drugs like cannabis,
opium, or even intravenous use of drugs such as heroin have also been reported.
A new trend has emerged in drug and substance abuse with children now taking a
cocktail of drugs through injection, and often sharing the same needle, which
increases their vulnerability to HIV infection.[url= http://www.drugtreatments.com]Drug Treatment[/url]
