Family: First defense against drug abuse

In an awareness video published on Sharjah 24, Al Shaiba outlined the basic steps for treating addiction:

1. Recognising the problem and seeking help from the relevant authorities;

2. Evaluation and diagnosis to develop a comprehensive treatment plan;

3. Detoxification;

4. Psychotherapy and rehabilitation for social reintegration;

5. and Family support as a crucial factor in the success of treatment.

The video aims to highlight the need for collaboration between institutions and families to build a safe society through prevention and treatment.
