Drug addiction and abuse in India have been a significant concern, particularly in the North-West regions. The country lies on the transit route of two major global centers for heroin and cocaine processing, making it vulnerable to drug trafficking. Enforcement agencies have faced challenges in curbing this issue.

The book explores various aspects of drug addiction and abuse in India, including its nature, patterns, socio-economic causes, and costs. It examines the perception of family members, police, and political leaders towards drug addiction and rehabilitation. It also discusses available mechanisms to address the issue at the family, society, and government levels and the changes required in policy to curb drug addiction and use.

This interdisciplinary book is valuable for students and researchers in economics, cultural and social anthropology, sociology, police administration, political science, and psychology. It also interests policy makers, government agencies, social scientists, departments of social and preventive medicine, social workers, civil society, drug addicts, and their families.

Drug addiction and abuse have profound social and economic consequences, affecting individuals, families, and communities. It is crucial to address this issue through comprehensive policies, rehabilitation programs, and awareness campaigns. By working together, we can create a safer and healthier society for all.
