I am very much thankful to the entire VKN, NIMHANS for designing such a fabulous course which made me learn and update myself in the field of de-addictions. Each and every mentor is so humble and helpful in  guiding us, during case discussions, clarifying our doubts through various didactics. The apps used, links for collection of books, quizzes, assignments, self learning material, participants attendance are all meticulously taken care. Moreover, engaging us time to time, in necessary activities for us to focus more, gifting us their valuable extra time in getting ourselves involved in the subject has helped us so much. Overall, the course CCBOAM21  for me is very helpful to serve people around me in substance Use Disorders through counselling. Thank you Once again to the entire VKN De-addiction Team, NIMHANs. I wish to connect with NIMHANS always and request the team to come up with many such programmes to see a Healthy Nation and the World in the coming future.

Substance use disorders (SUDs/Addiction) (alcohol and other drug misuse) account for 5.4% of the world annual disease burden. While tobacco and alcohol have been the major legal substances of abuse in India, there has been a rapid and substantial increase in the use of marijuana, newer drugs of abuse (methamphetamine, LSD) and pharmaceuticals.
Adolescents are experimenting with drugs much earlier, placing them at a higher risk for addiction and related harm. Substance use has a substantial impact on not only on the user's physical and mental health, but also has devastating consequences for the family and society at large. The growing problem of addictions (alcohol, drugs and behavioral health issues like gambling and internet addiction) on the one hand and lack of trained service providers on the other hand, led to a huge "treatment gap". There is an urgent need to bridge this treatment gap in this specialized area of public health importance.
