Substance use is a growing Global and National concern. 269 million people worldwide, which is roughly 5.6 % of the global population aged 15-64 years, used drugs at least once during 2018.
Indian Statistics:
16 Crore Alcohol users
15 Crore Smokers

1.18 Crore Sedative abusers
80 lakh Inhalant users
20 lakh Amphetamine users
13 lakh Hallucinogens users
12 lakh Cocaine users

The treatment gap is very high for substance use disorders. (i.e., if 100 people require treatment, only 25% (25 members) receive treatment and 75% (75 members) will not approach for any treatment.
When you are stuck in the cycle of addiction, recovery can seem out of reach. But no matter how powerless you feel, change is possible with the right treatment, right medications, right counselling, right coping skills and right support.
Don’t give up, even if you’ve tried and failed before.
