res/doc.namaste. i want to know ,how to treat the afeem taking person.habitual of opiom n other narcotics.
Mr. Naveen,
there are no such confirm single treatment for every narcotic edict patient, each and every patient is different according to his physical, and psychological conditions and the narcotic drug he uses,
so for exact treatment if you wants to treat any your known person must consult to a rehabilitation centers for narcotics, there are many government and private centers available, you could find them on internet.
