Introduction: The Rising Concern in Haryana
Drug addiction has become one of the most concerning public health crises in Haryana. Although the state has picked up the pace of combating narcotics in recent years, it continues to be an ongoing concern in disturbing ways. In one recent report, there were over 3,600 arrests just in the first half of 2025 – that is a 35% increase from the previous year. Authorities registered 2,161 FIRs under the NDPS Act and seized a substantial amount of drugs including heroin, opium, ganja, and synthetic drugs, among others.
These crackdowns have led many users to using crushed painkillers like Tramadol and Pregabalin by injection, which can be deadly and cause cardiac arrest, infections, and permanent disability (Times of India).
While Haryana has proclaimed thousands of villages drug-free, the vilification has continued in semi-urban towns, and fast-growing industrial towns such as Saha, located in the Ambala district. Saha is a hub for local trade and transit, and as such, it is also an ideal location for the supply of substances and a vulnerable target for the youth caught up in addiction.
The Local Picture: Why Saha Needs Protecting
Though Saha is no Ambala city, Saha’s geolocation is strong enough to consider it a target; highway connectivity, growth within the industrial district, bordering Punjab, and meeting point for routes supplying drugs and other substances. Young teens, particularly children from lower classes and small businesses, are especially susceptible to the negative influence of drugs. Peer pressure and stress can lead a child who is not well informed to use drugs.
Locals and healthcare workers in the Ambala district acknowledge that enforcement is increasing, however the treatment system at the grassroots level is still failing to catch up with rising levels of admissions. Families in Saha often find it difficult to locate a rehabilitation centre which is trustworthy, close enough, and reliable for their family member.
This is how our Nasha Mukti Kendra in Saha assists people in the struggle against addiction.
How Our Nasha Mukti Kendra in Saha Helps the Community
At [Your Organization’s Name] Nasha Mukti Kendra, Saha, we understand that recovery goes beyond detoxing the body. Recovery encompasses healing the mind, restoring trust in family, and reintegrating back into society. Our centre was designed to maximize rehabilitation by providing complete and compassionate services.
Safe and Supervised Detoxification
The primary step is detox. Many families are genuinely fearful of withdrawal symptoms – which can range from uncomfortable to dangerous, and in the case of certain drugs, suicidal if not treated with care. At our Kendra, detoxification is done under the guidance of a doctor, with our team monitoring constantly.
Individualized and Group Counselling
Addiction is more than physical; it has both physical and psychological components. Thus, counselling and relapse prevention provide a holistic approach. Our highly skilled counselling team provides one-on-one sessions to address trauma, stress, or depression. Group therapy adds peer support, where individuals share experiences and reinvent hope together.
Relapse Prevention Programs
Relapsing is common. To combat this, we run structured programs that teach coping skills, stress management, and life skills. Clients follow protocols such as regular prayer, follow-ups, support group meetings, and relapse prevention workshops.
Holistic Healing
Along with evidence-based therapies, we incorporate yoga, meditation, mindfulness, physical activity, and spiritual practices. This improves mental clarity, reduces cravings, and supports physical recovery.
Family Counseling and Education
Addiction is a family disease. Families often enable unintentionally. We guide families to create supportive but non-enabling environments. Family involvement statistically doubles rehabilitation success rates.
Vocational Support and Skills Training
Recovery is purposeful. We help people learn skills, build confidence, and find employment opportunities. Financial independence reduces relapse chances and strengthens recovery.
Community Outreach in Saha
Our Kendra conducts awareness campaigns in schools, health panchayats, and youth forums. We work directly with communities to spread awareness of drug dangers and promote a drug-free lifestyle.
The State Fight Against Drugs: Haryana’s War on Drugs
The Haryana Government is taking a hard stance through its campaign Yudh Nashian Virudh (War Against Drugs). Law enforcement is supporting substance use deterrent measures that involve:
- 3,600+ arrests as of 2025
- Seizures of heroin, opium, and synthetic drugs
- Cracking down on interstate smuggling networks
- Running awareness campaigns in schools and on social media
- Launching a podcast series highlighting public health issues of drug use
Experts suggest that law enforcement alone cannot solve the crisis. Prevention, rehabilitation, and reintegration into society are equally important. Local centres like ours link enforcement with harm reduction practices and long-term recovery support.
