Drug addiction is like a complex chronic disease and quitting the same usually takes more than good intentions and strong will. A combination of factors influence risk for addiction and labels a person as a drug addict. In this project, an attempt has been made to study the psychology of substance abusers, before and during rehab, and suggest some preventive measures towards the same issue. A sample size of 30 was selected from Spandana Hospital Rehabilitation Centre, Sreenivas Nagar, Nandini Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka – 560096. The patients feel very insulted and judged by the society as they are frowned upon. They crave to be heard, for some empathy, love and care. In such a fragile condition, the substance abusers wish for betterment and are enthusiastic to counsel those who follow the same path of substance abuse.Metrics
