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.
