 DISHAA
(An Initiative for Rehabilitation of

Victims of Substance Abuse)

1. Introduction: Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, was enacted, inter alia,
to curb drug abuse. Within the purview of the Act, “Narcotic Drug” means “coca leaf, cannabis
(hemp), opium, poppy straw and includes all manufactured goods”, whereas “Psychotropic
substance” means “any substance, natural or synthetic, or any natural material or any salt or
preparation of such substance or material included in the list of psychotropic substances
specified in the Schedule”. Section 71 of the Act (Power of Government to establish centres
for identification, treatment, etc. of addicts and for supply of narcotic drugs and
psychotropic substances) contains provisions for setting up of rehabilitation and treatment
centres for drug dependent persons. The demand reduction strategies consist of education,
treatment, rehabilitation and social integration of drug dependent persons for prevention of
drug abuse.
2. Objectives: Objectives of the Scheme for Prevention of Alcoholism and Substance (Drug)
Abuse include the following:
1. To create public awareness and educate community and people about the ill-effects of
alcoholism and substance abuse on the individual, the family, the workplace and society at
large;
2. To provide for community based services for identification, motivation, counselling, de-
addiction, referral services, after care and rehabilitation for Whole Person Recovery (WPR)
of addicts to make victims drug and crime free;
3. To alleviate the consequences of drug and alcohol dependence amongst the individual, the
family and society at large through family counseling and moral education;
4. To provide support for skill upgradation, self-employment, organization of Self Help
Groups (SHGs) and other assistance for gainful employment;
5. To organize outreach activities including de-addiction camps, moral education and yoga
camps, youth activities, campaign at educational institution level for prevention of
substance abuse;
6. To facilitate research, training, documentation and collection of relevant information to
strengthen the above mentioned objectives and support other activities which are in
consonance with the programme objectives;
3. Strategies: Services will be provided through District Disability Rehabilitation Centres
(DDRCs), Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts (IRCAs), Non-Government
Organizations (NGOs) and other Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs). With a view to
reducing the demand for and consumption of alcohol and dependence producing substances
including all Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic substances covered under the NDPS, Act, 1985
and other addictive substance, other than tobacco, the thrust would be on preventive
 education programmes and Whole Person Recovery of the drug dependent persons. In order
to achieve the objectives of the scheme the key strategies will be as follows:-
1. Evolve culture-specific models for the prevention of alcoholism and substance abuse and
for rehabilitation of drug dependent persons;
2. Promote collective initiatives and self-help endeavor among individuals and groups
vulnerable to addiction or found at risk;
3. Increase community participation and public cooperation in the reduction of demand for
dependence-producing substances;
4. Create and sustain an infrastructure of trained human resource personnel and service
providers to strengthen the service delivery mechanisms;
5. Establish and foster appropriate synergy between State interventions, corporate
initiatives, the voluntary sector and other stakeholders in the field of substance abuse
prevention;
6. Facilitate networking among policy planners, service providers and other stakeholders,
with an aim to encourage appropriate advocacy; and
7. Promote and sustain a system of continuous monitoring and evaluation including self-
correctional mechanism.
4. Target Groups: All victims of alcohol and substance (drugs) abuse with a special focus on:-
1. Children including street children, both in and out of school
2. Adolescents/Youth
3. Dependent women, children and young girls, affected by substance abuse
4. High risk groups such as sex workers, Injecting Drug Users (IDUs), Transgender Persons,
drivers etc.
5. Prison inmates in detention facilities including children in juvenile homes addicted to
drugs.
5. Programme Components
1. Information, Education & Preventive Campaign
2. Drug demand reduction.
3. Counselling, Training and Guidance Centres
4. De-addiction Camps
5. Community Based Rehabilitation
6. Skill Training and self employment
7. Construction of Drug De-addiction centres
8. Research & Documentation
6. Information, Education & Preventive Campaign: Awareness and Preventive Education should
address specific and vulnerable target groups in communities, educational institutions,
workplace, slums and youth groups with the purpose of sensitizing them about the impact of
addiction, and the need to take professional help. Parents/teachers should be sensitized to
develop skills to understand the psychology of the youth and to help them keep away from
substance abuse. The high-risk groups like commercial sex workers, mobile population like
tourists and truck drivers, children of alcoholics and drug addicts, children of HIV affected
parents, street children, prisoners and school dropouts, should be specifically addressed.
Awareness generation among school going children in the age group 11 – 18 years will be a
priority. Trained Teachers and selected NGOs with good track record will deliver sessions and
other activities in the schools. Following activities will be admissible:
1. IEC material preparation (print/ electronic)
2. Organization of fairs/ festivals
3. Publication of magazines/ news letters
4. TV/ Radio/ Print media publicity
5. Cultural shows/ street plays
6. Community level meetings/ campaigns
7. Posters, Hoardings, Banners
8. Events for substance abusers (sports/cultural)
9. Such other awareness activities
7. Drug Demand Reduction: Drug abuse and illicit drug trafficking cause adverse effects on health;
an upsurge in crime, violence and corruption; the draining of human, natural and financial
resources that might otherwise be used for social and economic development; the destruction of
individuals, families and communities; and the undermining of political, cultural, social and
economic structures. A rapidly changing social and economic climate, coupled with increased
availability and promotion of drugs and the demand for them, have contributed to the increasing
magnitude of the global drug abuse problem. The complexity of the problem has been
compounded by changing patterns of drug abuse, supply and distribution. There has been an
increase in social and economic factors which make people, especially youth, more vulnerable
and likely to engage in drug use and drug-related risk-taking behavior.
1. Prevention of peddlers: with the co-ordination with the Excise Deptt. and Home Deptt.
drug trafficking can be controlled. By following strictly NDPS Act 1985, the Customs Act,
1962, the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940, and any other law having connection with the
enforcement of the provisions of NDPS Act. Police stations will be ranked and recognized
for operating highest number of cases under disobeying NDPS Act.
2. Establishment of Treatment Centres: Availability of treatment facilities for addiction in the
Government health care settings (apart from Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts)
will be augmented in collaboration with Health Department and Addiction Treatment
Facilities (ATFs) will be set up in the Government Hospitals. ATF will include In-patient
service and out-patient service facility.
 3. Drug Defense: Despite being prohibited; drugs always find their way into prisons/juvenile
homes all over the world. Some prisoners stop using drugs during incarceration but when
they are out of the prison, they are vulnerable to restart drug use. In this scenario, it is
utmost important to establish De-addiction Centres with skill training facility in the prisons
and juvenile home for the betterment of addicts as they start a new life as soon as they go
out of prisons.
8. Counselling, Training and Guidance Centres: Substance abusers often seen moving on the
streets, market places and are engaged in offensive activities. The prolonged oppression and
deprivation often leads towards personality disorder. Such persons will be identified and
provided with essential counselling and guidance services, behaviour therapy, personality
development and socialization support under this programme. This envisage total recovery
of the addicted person leading to his socio economic rehabilitation through an appropriate
combination of individual counselling, group therapy, yoga, exposure to self-help/support
groups, and introduction to other recovering addicts. It would also include support and care
to families of the addicted person. The centre will be provided with support staff including 2
Counsellors, 2 Trainers, onr IT Person and one Data Management Person/Call centre manager
to run the services of the state unit. Following activities are planned:
1. At State level: Virtual Learning, Resource & Counselling Centres (VLRCC) will be set up in
State Headquarter to provide Couselling/training/guidance to field functionaries,
Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts (IRCAs in the Districts), Local NGOs, PIAs,
School level awareness programme (also Schools for NAPDDR initiative). Following
activities will be taken up there:
1. Counselling Services for NGOs
2. Counselling Services for Affected people of Drug abuse
3. Training Programmes for field officials and NGOs
4. Online Training Programme for Teachers and Service Providers
5. Call Centre services for all type of queries related to Drug Addiction
6. Teaching Learning Material preparation
2. At District level: Two Counsellors will be engaged in existing DDRCs for implementation of
the programme. Counselling and guidance services must make efforts to:
1. Identify areas of necessary change, educate to become aware of risk factors leading to
relapse and evolve positive coping skills, support for strengthening inter-personal
relationships and sustaining their recovery through follow-up services.
2. Promote commitment to a drug and alcohol free life, adaptation to work and
responsibility, facilitate social re-integration, encourage personal growth and self-
recognition, acceptance of higher values and encourage peer learning group working
together for leading a drug free life.
9. De-addiction Camps De-addiction Camps may be organized in areas prone to substance
(drug) abuse for mobilizing the community, promote awareness and collective initiative
towards the prevention of alcoholism and substance (drug) abuse. District level functionaries/
 local bodies/ IRCAs/ RRTCs/ CBOs/ Treatment Services/ Hospitals, etc., should be involved in
planning and implementation of the camps. Each implementing agency would conduct
regular camps. They would explore and utilize their staff and community resources for this
purpose. In these de-addiction camps public education, motivation and campaign against
substance abuse activities would also be taken up along with identification of abusers, listing
and referral for treatment as well as follow –up services will also be undertaken. Financial
assistance shall be admissible to eligible govt. & private organization for the activities to meet
the objectives given in the guideline based on the merit of the proposal to be approved by
the Department.
10. Community Based Rehabilitation: Implementing agencies need to develop innovative
interventions to strengthen the community based approach towards rehabilitation of
recovering addicts and in places of requirement may use services of half-way homes, drop-in-
centers etc. The focus is on partnership among the victims of substance abuse, families,
community, rehabilitation, treatment and health professionals to provide required services
in a non-institutional setting, in an environment where services for victims of substance abuse
are deficient. Introducing de-addiction and rehabilitation services at a local or community
level removes many obstacles to care, which are associated with institutions. The difficulty of
travel and its expenses are eliminated or reduced to a minimum. The individual is not isolated
from the community; family members and community volunteers are part of the de-addiction
and rehabilitation process. Training of community leaders, women’s groups, youth groups
and local government officials may be conducted in local language with a focus on
understanding the problem of addiction, the methodology of rehabilitation and relapse
prevention.
11. Skill Training and self-employment:
1. Skill development trainings will be provided to the victim of substance abuse above 18
years of age to enable them to start income generating activities on their own or get
gainfully employed in some sector or the other. All victims of substance abuse not hailing
from families of Regular Government Servants/ Retired Government Servants/ Tax Payers
/ annual family income of 2.50 lakhs would be covered under the programme subject to
submission of evidence or self-declaration to the effect. Skill Development, is essential to
victims of substance abuse to get wage/self-employment and for higher earnings, and/or
improved working conditions, such as getting formal certification for hitherto informal skills,
and/or moving from informal to formal sector jobs or pursue higher education/training. Soft
skills (which would include computer literacy, language and workplace inter-personal skills
relevant for the sector/trade) will be an integral part of the skills training process and will be
suitably integrated into the course modules. All Skill Development courses offered under the
scheme framework will conform to the standards prescribed under National Skill
Qualification Framework (NSQF). The training will be provided in running Integrated
Rehabilitation Centres for Addicts IRCAs in the State. It will be Entrepreneurship
Development Programme (EDP) of around 15-40 days programme. The programme will start
from 2nd week of admission under IRCAs and will continue till the completion of the training.
On successful completion of the training a certificate will be given to beneficiaries under
signature of District Social Security Officer of the District. However, training institutions
other than IRCA may also be considered to impart skill training.
 2. Self-Employment: Socio-economic rehabilitation of victims of substance abuse is one of
the core areas of concern. For this purpose, skill training along with entrepreneurship
development training will be one of the priority activities. But, in many cases the victims
of substance abuse instead of coming to vocational training centers are adopting to family
professions or other economic activities with traditional training and practical experience
by doing. Among all these categories a number of victims of substance abuse are not
interested in any financial assistance but require a start up kit to start business. They face
problems in availing such kits due to want of support they require for the purpose.
Potential victims of substance abuse can be identified along with the trade they are
interested in pursuing and can be provided assistance under relevant government
programmes. Support may also be made available for group endeavors including
production; marketing, service centres etc. can also be promoted by the beneficiaries.
12. Drug Deaddiction Centre:
