TT Ranganathan Clinical Research Foundation (TTK Hospital), a not-for-profit organisation, is holding a one-week-long series of workshops to spread awareness on drug abuse, commencing Monday, which is the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
The sessions are designed to cater to professionals from various teams such as counsellors, lecturers, IT professionals, transport workers, self-help group women and medical professionals.
“We will address each group of people one day,” B Chandrasekhar, COO, told Business Line . “Our experience in having treated over 40,000 patients during the last 37 years shows that with appropriate professional help, people with substance dependence can lead qualitative lives free of alcohol and drugs,” he said.
