1083. De-Addiction through Camps/Hospitals:De-addiction is a medical process. Experience has shown that drugabuse is a multifaceted and multi dimensional problem which has to be solvedwithin the context. Although no national survey has been made to assess thenature, pattern and magnitude of the Drug abuse. In various regions of thecountry, however, the Ministry of Social Justice and empowerment, Govt. ofIndia has embarked on a set of concerned measures towards awarenessbuilding and the identification treatment, and rehabilitation of drug addictsthrough voluntary organizations and the collective initiative of the peoplethemselves. A network of the voluntary action agencies has been set up in thecountry to forestall conduction responsibilities for the addition so as to restorea drugs free life in society.Encouragement of the recovering person by family members and societyalso plays a key role in the recovery process. At the outset the family andsociety may have severely condemned the individual’s behavior due toaddiction. If they maintain this behavior during this process of recovery, theywill actually increase the risk of relapse. Instead, complementing the personon his/her efforts to recover will make to addiction, the person would have hada productive role, taking responsibility, such as being head of the family, orbeing a part of the decision making process. Once the person becomesdependent on drug, he/she is looked upon as somebody who needs to beprotected from the outside would. This aspect also requires to be addressedproperly. The society can do it by;Involving the family members and helping them work with thedependent person rather than for him/her.Getting the support of family members is normalizing the affectedperson’s activities and helping him/her get back to their initial and fullfunctional role.Educating the family on the need to reintegrate the person back into the familyand facilitating this by involving the patient in the decision-making andproblem solving processes in the family.To cite an example from Lohit district again, voluntary Groups such asATTKSU Mahila Mandals, ANAYA, Arunachal Pali Vidyapith and Drug Deaddictionofficer had conducted many de-addiction camps and treated addicts.But it is because lack of permanent infrastructures and financial constraintsthat now this de-addiction process has come to a standstill. There areprovisions with Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment to provide fundsto NGOs for de-addiction centre and camps. We are required to approach theministry through state government for the purpose. Further the DistrictAdministration has approached Oil India limited to provide funds for a DeaddictionCentre at Lathao. Hon’ble MLA, Namsai has also agreed tocontribute for it. A permanent drug de-addiction centre at Lathao is expectedto come up soon. 4. Follow up after de-addictionThere have been reports of relapse after de-addiction. It is mainly due tothe act that we don’t have a mechanism to follow up to activities of thedetoxified youths. Unemployment and mixing with same peer group with
109whom they were associated earlier is another reason for relapse. Here itbecomes pertinent on society as a whole to keep follow up on the de-addicts.5. Rehabilitation.Rehabilitation of de-addicts is also necessary by which we can keep thede-addicted person engaged. Such de-addicts can be engaged in any socialwork, community development works by the society. Various Govt. agenciesmay also provide them opportunities of self-employment. We must keep inmind that an idle mind is devil’s workshop. Therefore it is most necessary tokeep the de-addicts busy with some or other activity.Along with the above, the law enforcing authorities have to be supportedin their anti drugs activities which will reduce supply and consumption of illicitdrugs. Cases can be registered and persons arrested under NDPS Act.The NDPS Act provides very stringent punishment for trafficking, illegalattempts, abetment and conspiracy to commit drug related crimes, illegalcultivation of drug plants, irregularity in licensing in drug related matters etc.As per NDPS Act. :-Section 23 provides mandatory minimum punishments of 10 yearsrigorous imprisonment and fine of Rs. 1 lakh extendable to 20 year’s rigorousimprisonment and fine of Rs 2 lakh for major trafficking offences.Section 31 on NDPS Act provides 15 years rigorous imprisonment and afine of Rs. 1.5 lakh, which may go up to 30 years rigorous imprisonment and afine of Rs. 3 lakhs for repeated trafficking offences.Section 27 of NDPS Act provide that the persons found to have illegalpossession of drugs in a small quantity (the quantities for different drugswhich would be deemed to small quantity for the purpose of the Act has beenlaid down by the Government) are liable to a punishment up to six monthsimprisonment or fine or both, which, in respect of hard drugs like heroin wouldbe up to one year’s imprisonment or fine or both. However, the court isempowered to, instead of straightway sentencing the addict, release him forundergoing medical treatment for de-addiction on his executing necessarybond prescribed under the Act.The comprehensive and stringent action initiated against items (ii) and(iii) of the preceding para by the Narcotic Drugs and psychotropic SubstancesAct. 1985 has been further intensified with the enactment of prevention ofillicitly Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988,providing for preventive detention for drug traffickers and the narcotic Drugsand Psychotropic Substances (Amendment), Act 1989, providing for capitalpunishment for drug traffickers in certain cases and for the forfeiture of theirproperties.
