The country’s drug addiction problem has already taken a serious shape which can be easily guessed from the reports on television, social media and daily newspapers. Families are devastated due to drug addiction and the helpless addicts are lost without finding a way out. A major reason for this is the inadequancy of effective drug addiction treatment in the country. Due to the lack of proper understanding of the true nature of the drug addiction problem and its treatment, helpless drug addicts and their families practically do not get any help from the conventional medical system. The conventional medical system in the current country is mainly limited to the physical treatment of the addicted person. Therefore, it is not possible to achieve complete and long-term recovery through 10/15 days of clinical treatment in Bangladesh. There are different opinions in the medical community about the nature of drug addiction and different treatment methods have been developed according to these opinions. Although there are differences in treatment methods, everyone agrees on one thing.Drug addiction is an incurable disease like diabetes. However, even if it is an incurable, it is possible to stop this disease through treatment and rehabilitation and live a normal and healthy life free from addiction until the last day of life. It is very sad but true that drug addiction is a serious problem for a large portion of teenagers and young adults in our country today.
