Dr. Javad Mohaghegh, Vice President of Gerash University of Medical Sciences, on the occasion of the 5th of Tir World Anti-Narcotics Day, had a conversation with Vebda Gerash, which is as follows:

Drug addiction is one of the most important social, economic and health problems today, the complications of which involve different parts of the human society and have caused the downfall of many social, cultural and moral values. The dramatic increase in drug use in the world and its trafficking have terrible consequences for humanity and the young generation, which leads many people to death every day and makes the trafficking networks stronger and richer day by day.

Addiction must be treated both physically and psychologically, and if the treatment is not done in parallel, the probability of the disease returning and relapse is high. It should be noted that there is no specific treatment for all people. Different people have different needs and in order to achieve the goal and definitive treatment of addiction, a method should be planned according to the individual's situation and conditions.

Considering that addiction is a disease, scientific and specialized methods should be used to treat this disease.

In de-addiction clinics, the goal of de-addiction is the root and specialized treatment of addiction, and to achieve this goal, a variety of diagnostic methods, counseling, drug and non-drug treatments, drug detoxification, individual and group psychotherapy, etc.
