Drugs from one and half month. Stuff!

Hi sir Thanks for seeking help here. To be honest ....it's really a challenge to quit substance in this age group. The age group you mentioned usually fall again and gain into this behaviour because of peer influences. He really does not feel there is a need to quit. When you enjoy something and you like it so much then why you should quit. In young substance use disorder usually we face multiple challenges like this. They rationalize everytime. I think only we can deal it by adding appropriate medication with motivation enhancement therapy. Don't feel bad he may not able to quit in one shot. But we will persist and we will roll with the resistance. The sad part of the most INDIAN de-addiction centre....most of the centre are not occupied with trained people. So the way they try to quit is really not acceptable by patients. It's a punishment not reinforcement.

Read MET from Google. Prefer Dr. Pratma Murthy's guide MET for substance use disorder. It's very easy and brief. Prof P. Murthy is a the most eminent Psychiatrist in the field of substance use disorder and she is the HOD of NIMHANS de-addiction centre, we call that as CAM.

Apply the principles of that to your friends life. Happy to Help you. Get back us if you need any further help...which you will definitely need.
