The young people of India are under attack. Teenagers and even children are falling into drug abuse. They have suffered from the cultural acceptance of drugs as well as pressure from peers and mere curiosity. Popular drugs abused by the youth population include heroin, smack, injectables, pain killers, inhalants, and alcohol. In recent times, India’s young generation has found themselves under a relentless assault, as an increasing number of children grapple with the dark shadow of drug addiction. This pervasive issue is a result of several contributing factors, including cultural acceptance of drug use, peer pressure, and simple curiosity. At our de-addiction center, we recognize the urgency of this situation and are committed to providing a safe haven for these vulnerable children. The statistics surrounding children’s drug abuse are alarming. A worrying trend has emerged where popular drugs such as heroin, smack, injectables, painkillers, inhalants, and alcohol have made their way into the lives of young children. The consequences of drug abuse are not only detrimental to the individual but also have far-reaching impacts on families and society as a whole. Our mission is to address this crisis head-on. We firmly believe that every child’s life is worth saving, and we are dedicated to providing the necessary resources, support, and rehabilitation for children and juveniles in conflict with the law who are struggling with substance abuse.
