NECESSITATING PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTION: A COLLECTIVE CASE STUDY ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Abstract

For the treatment of drug addiction, having a strong support system is essential, with professional assistance playing a key role [1]. In order to manage withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings, rehabilitation centers provide structured programs, therapies that are supported by research, and medical assistance. Professionals assess the extent of the addiction and work with friends and family to create a detailed plan. They also back the ongoing support throughout the healing process, promote effective communication, and aid in managing emotions. The study investigates how professional intervention affects drug rehabilitation in Arunachal Pradesh. In order to investigate the scope and significance of professional intervention, it makes use of a collective case study approach, direct observation, empirical learning, and literature reviews. The study makes recommendations for improving the lives of people struggling with drug addiction, including hiring professionals, creating job opportunities, and appointing social workers in schools. It also recommends using vocational and skill-based training programs to enhance employability and help individuals integrate back into society.
