Introducon

Drug De-addicon

Drug addicon is a chronic, relapsing disease, characterized by compulsive drug seeking

and use, and by neurochemical and molecular changes in the brain.

Drug addicon is becoming a major health problem in India with some esmates

indicang that as many as 15 million people in India could become addicts by the end of

2004.

Mental illness and Life suerers

Mental illnesses are the most devastang and disabling of the diseases, aecng the

mankind, giving its vicms and their families a life of suering, trauma and travail.

Nearly one percent of Humanity is suering from this malady, of which nearly 20%

would become chronic. In the context of our country it means nearly one crore of our

people are vicms of dierent forms of Mental illness and of whom 20 Lakhs are likely to

become chronic.

Oen the vicms' enre personality becomes shaered due to dysfunconing of their

mental faculty. They dri from social mainstream, remain casgated from immediate

neighborhood, as well as the society at large. What they need is not just medical

intervenon but a mulple therapeuc approach to bring them back even to a

semblance of normal funconality.

Depression

Depression is a serious medical illness. Symptoms can include:

Sadness or low mood

Loss of interest or pleasure in acvies you used to enjoy

Change in weight

Diculty sleeping or oversleeping

Energy loss

Feelings of worthlessness

Thoughts of death or suicide

Depression can run in families, and usually starts between the ages of 15 and 30. It is much

more common in women. Women can also get postpartum depression aer the birth of a baby.



Some people get seasonal aecve disorder in the winter. Depression is one part of bipolar

disorder.

There are eecve treatments for depression, including andepressants and talk therapy. A

combinaon of both works best.

Personality Disorders

Schizophrenia

Anxiety

Relaon between Drug addicts and mental ill persons

A psychiatric problem

An addicon problem

It is dicult to say which came rst. What is important to note is that the person is

currently having both problems and both have to be addressed together. A relapse in

one of the two areas can trigger a relapse in the other.

A psychological relaon between the drug addicts and mentally ill (psychiatric) or life

suering people.

In 90% of the cases it is found that the basic level for addicon starts from person does

not know to handle crical situaon of problems in life, he then gets into depression and

the root of the drug addicon starts eventually.

Trauma, depression, lonely feeling, carelessness are some of the important factors

deciding drug addicon.

Training Centre Plan

Although a substanal numbers of persons are aected by drug and alcohol abuse and

dependence, there are several gaps in service provision.

These include inadequate number of services, inadequate treatment seeking by

substance users and also lack of trained manpower in the country.

Revenue Generaon

It has been found that only 42 of the de-addicon centers are being aided only a few

centers (about 42, mainly those in the north-eastern states of the country) Funconing

of Government De-

Addicon Centers. Most centers depend on State Government forrecurring expenditure .Evaluaon exercises have revealed

Variability in service provision

Poor record maintenance

Shortage of sta

Lack of capacity of exisng sta (i.e. lack of training on substance use disorders)



It has been dicult to trace most of these centers. UNESCO (2009) has recently

highlighted the diculty encountered in accessing informaon about many of the

centers

Receive recurrent grants from the union health ministry. Most others have been dependent on

the state governments for the recurring expenditure (on sta salaries, supplies etc.). It is

understandable that the state Governments may have varying degrees of health priories;

consequently the funds provided by the state governments have also been variable in nature.

Aim

To design a drug de-addicon cum rehabilitaon center for people with drug addicon and for

those persons with mental illness (psychiatric).This will totally base on the design of the building

in order to recover or rehabilitate the persons by understanding the terms of psychological

treatment through the building envelope.

Set up a "Home Away from Home" oering solace to the suering individual and family alike,

where the atmosphere would be of a large extended family in which the residents would get the

comfort, security, love and kindness of the family, with psychosocial Rehabilitaon Programmes

and medical care administered by experts in respecve areas.

I believe that addicon as a disease aects every aspect of the aicted person's life; at the

physical and mental level, in relaonships, and even causes the person to lose all sense of

morality. The disease has a way of recurring and only a total change in atude can bring any

meaningful recovery.

For Training Centre:

In the proposed approach, the sta from the district hospitals would be provided the training

pertaining to treatment of substance use disorders. Referral of paents that need more

intensive intervenon and specialist skills (such as those with associated physical or psychiatric

co morbidity and mulple drug use) can be made to the medical colleges. Capacity building

through training of sta is an important step in improving treatment seeking as well as quality

of treatment that is provided to substance users.

For Revenue generaon:

Designing a building that would generate revenue for the proposed Centre, as according to the

study stated above.



Objecves

addicon and rehabilitaon center along with the training center and making the whole

center a sustaining one in terms of revenue required to operate it in a successful

manner. Building form, interiors and landscaped areas will be highlights of the design

The campus will also include residenal facilies for sta member(nurses, ward boys and
