00:00In Karnal, we have the Nasha Mukti Centre in the District Civil Hospital.

00:06Here, we admit all the patients who come here for Nasha Mukti.

00:11Here in Karnal, in room number 18, we provide free counselling and free treatment.

00:19Along with that, all the patients who come here,

00:22the most important thing for patients to quit Nasha Mukti is that the patient himself comes.

00:26He should say to himself that yes, I do Nasha Mukti and I want to quit Nasha Mukti.

00:31So, we help in that.

00:33In such cases, when patients come to us, we give them proper counselling and therapy.

00:38Along with that, if we feel that the patient can quit Nasha Mukti by staying at home and taking medicines,

00:45then we give them medicines.

00:47Otherwise, if we feel that the patient's condition is very bad and he needs treatment,

00:51then we admit the patient to an indoor treatment.

00:55So, in Nasha Mukti, we commonly have alcohol intoxication.

01:02Secondly, we have opioid intoxication.

01:04Along with opioids, we have cannabis intoxication.

01:07Cannabis and the medicines like buprenorphine, which is very common,

01:15and the medicines like Alprax, which is a blue pill,

01:18people do both intoxication and injection of these things.

01:21So, we have a lot of common opioid drug abusers.

01:24And after tobacco, smoking, cigarette, etc.

01:32You can say that it starts from the age of 14.

01:37It is very common for children aged 14-15.

01:40We can't say the age limit because we also have patients aged 60-70,

01:45who take intoxication medicines.

01:48If we take an example of an opioid addict,

01:56he comes to us and tells us his problems.

01:59The day he quits intoxication, he starts having some problems in his body.

02:03For example, there is a lot of pain in the body, which is called Toor.

02:08Secondly, there is water coming out of his nose and eyes.

02:11His stomach is very upset.

02:13He can't sleep.

02:15He is restless.

02:16He sweats.

02:17He is nervous.

02:18His heart beats very fast.

02:20He doesn't feel like doing anything.

02:22He behaves like a mad person.

02:24So, the patient comes to us with all these symptoms.

02:26To get rid of this, we say that the patient first wants to quit intoxication.

02:31As soon as the patient tells us that he wants to quit intoxication,

02:35we start counseling him.

02:37While counseling, we first try to find out what is the main reason for his intoxication.

02:44What is the main reason?

02:46Either he does it with his friends just to see what fun it is,

02:51or he does it to get rid of his family problems or any work-related problems.

02:59Or there is no other reason.

03:01People often drink at weddings.

03:03So, that is the reason.

03:04After knowing that reason, we start counseling the patient.

03:07We do psychotherapy.

03:08Based on that, we give him medicines or admit him.

03:11Yes, definitely.

03:12Female patients also come to us with intoxication.

03:16But it is very less in comparison to males.

03:18But yes, we won't say that it doesn't exist.

03:20Definitely, we have female patients.

03:22And to a large extent, they get treated with counseling and medicines.

03:26The female patient usually starts with young age.

03:31Like I said, from the age of 14-15.

03:34So, the children who stay with their friends in the wrong company,

03:37they stay in the wrong company just to taste it, for curiosity.

03:40That yes, we should also see it once.

03:42Gradually, they start getting intoxicated.

03:44And by the time they realize it, it is too late.

03:47No, no.

03:48Comparatively, if we talk about 2022,

03:50every year, our patients are becoming almost twice as intoxicated.

03:55Now, you can say that we have increased our awareness a little

03:58after the COVID-19 pandemic.

04:01After that, our awareness has increased a lot.

04:03We do a lot of mental health programs.

04:05A lot of camps are set up by our health department.

04:08So, we have seen that a lot of patients have come to us

04:11who have this awareness.

04:12So, patients have come to us.

04:14So, we can say that there is intoxication in the society.

04:17It is increasing or decreasing.

04:18But we are getting a lot of patients.

04:20I said, apply the ratio twice.

04:22The number of patients who have come in 2022 has doubled in 2023.

04:25And in 2023, we have almost double the number of patients.

04:29The government has announced a drug-free program.

04:31Under which, we are in the government hospital.

04:34Free of cost is your counselling.

04:36Free of cost is your consultation with the doctor.

04:39Your free of cost medicines.

04:41Along with that, there is a drug-free center.

04:43In which you get everything free of cost.

04:45Your stay, food, drink, everything.

04:47And medicines, injections, whatever expenses,

04:49are on the government's side.

04:51No, no, this is not the case.

04:53As we said earlier, to get rid of intoxication,

04:55the first thing is that the patient wants to get rid of the intoxication.

04:58That is the most important.

05:00Because intoxication affects our psychology a lot.

05:05So, it is not that the physical symptoms come to the body.

05:07But the mental and physical things come together.

05:11So, whatever problem we have, we get rid of the intoxication.

05:13So, the body also has problems.

05:15So, both these things work together.

05:17Until the patient wants, we cannot get rid of the intoxication.

05:20If the family is worried, then I would say that

05:22first you should try on your side.

05:24Talk to the patient.

05:25When they are free of intoxication,

05:27when they are a little calm,

05:28then talk to them a lot.

05:32If they still feel that there is a problem,

05:34and they do not agree,

05:36then you can also take the help of the police.

05:38You can also call the police and tell them your problem.

05:41So, the patients are brought to us by the police.
