What is Drug Addiction? This is a state in which an individual experiences an intense craving to use drugs and becomes mentally and physically dependent on them. This overpowering urge to consume drugs takes precedence over all other responsibilities including familial obligations. The immense physical and mental anguish faced by millions of drug addicts and their families is an overwhelming social and economic burden. This booklet raises awareness about the problem by educating specific target groups and the general public.
