Drug use disorder is a problem that is adversely affecting the social fabric of the country. Dependence on any substance not only affects the health of the individual but also disrupts his family and society as a whole. Regular consumption of various psychoactive substances increases a person’s dependence. Certain substance compounds can cause neuro-mental illness, heart disease as well as accidents, suicides, and violence. Therefore, drug use and dependence need to be seen as a psycho-socio-medical problem.The Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment launched the NMBA on 15th August 2020. It has been implemented in all districts of the country since August 2023. The NMBA wants to reach out to the public and create awareness about drug use. It focuses on higher educational institutions, university campuses, schools, etc., so as to reach out to the dependents. Nmba aims to provide counselling and treatment facilities in hospitals, rehabilitation centres and facilitate skill development programmes for service providers.
