One of my friend's son is addicted to drugs since almost an year. He has smack, hashish ganja besides smoking. I do not know how he manages to get them, but he does not care two hoots about what his parents say and is always in a foul mood. He steals and pawns home things to get money. Is there a remedy to treat him without his knowledge. The boy and family live in ghaziabad. The boy is 20 years of age. He is not bothered what others say. He says he will have drugs till his death. His studies and social life is zero. Please suggest.

Hello, I can understand the problem you are facing. The most important thing is persistent motivation and detoxification. If he tries to leave on his own he will face withdrawal symptoms. There are various detoxification treatment available with high success rate. He needs a good rehabilitation center where he can be motivated to leave substance and continue treatment. Success rate is always higher when patient is involved in treatment decisions. You can consult me for further help.
