Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 22: Despite decades of awareness campaigns and interventions, the global fight against drug and alcohol addiction continues to face uphill challenges. According to recent data, an estimated 35 million people worldwide suffer from drug use disorders, yet only one in seven individuals receives the treatment they need. This stark gap underlines a deeply rooted crisis that affects not only individuals but also the broader socio-economic fabric of society.
Substance addiction—whether to drugs or alcohol—has evolved into a widespread lifestyle issue, transcending borders, cultures, and income levels.
India, too, is grappling with a severe and growing drug problem. Drawing on national surveys and population data, it’s estimated that 62.5 million people in India use alcohol, 8.75 million use cannabis, 2 million use opiates, and around 600,000 rely on sedatives or hypnotics. These numbers paint a grim picture of a nation in urgent need of effective rehabilitation programs.
In this challenging landscape, Alyana Rehabilitation Foundation, based in Kolkata, West Bengal, stands out as a beacon of hope.
