Drug Rehab in India has become a must with more and more individuals become chemically dependant. The problems is not just linked with young adults and teenagers who've got hooked to drugs while trying to make a statement or doing it just for kicks or in the need to be part of the crowd - the problem is much deeper with people holding good jobs also reduced to chemical dependency due to high stress at the work place.

What's more, with drug peddlers using street children as a link to deliver the stuff to clients - a large number of street children in India have become addicted to drugs.

Drug Rehab in the country is largely conducted by the government in tandem with religious organizations who've joined hands with other NGOs (non-governmental organizations) to be able to reach out to a larger audience and thereby offer relief to those under the influence of drugs.

One such NGO of mention is DAIRRC, which runs a voluntary treatment rehab program that believes in total abstinence. Run on the lines of Narcotics Anonymous and Self-help, the program is divided into 3 areas: motivation; detoxification; and rehabilitation. This NGO has recorded over 18000 chemical dependents without even a single individual experiencing cold turkey. The Drug Rehab lasts for four to nine months with follow-ups.

Another NGO, which has been reaching out to chemical dependants and street children, is the Kripa Foundation located in the suburbs of Mumbai. Most of these NGOs have their facilities all over India. Kripa runs the drug rehab program in a holistic manner.
The individual is put through yoga and tai chi as the means of getting his body mind and soul in balance. This is also followed with regular prayer sessions. The regular detoxification, counseling, medication and therapy sessions are also offered to the addicts. Street children have also been put through drug rehab to wean them away from these harmful substances.

In the North-east of India where the problem of chemical dependency on the rise with the easy access to it from the border areas - the Narconnan system is being applied as part of drug rehab with success.
