💨 Abstract

The Himachal Pradesh State AIDS Control Society has directed NGOs in the state to refer at least five drug users to psychiatric departments weekly. Project Director Rajiv Kumar emphasized continuous monitoring of their health, and suggested this could help combat rising drug use. He also highlighted the effectiveness of regular check-ups, counseling, and therapy in addressing drug addiction, with psychological counseling specifically helping to reduce dependency and promote reintegration into society.
