No space, no food, no TV: Gurgaon's lone govt rehab centre needs a revamp

This article discusses the challenges faced by Rakesh Prajapati, a 27-year-old battling addiction, as he seeks treatment at a government-run facility lacking basic amenities. The facility, with only 10 beds, falls short of the guidelines set by the National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction (NAPDDR). Furthermore, the lack of food and a recreational room demotivates patients and affects their enrollment and recovery. The facility acknowledges the constraints and plans to relocate to a new building equipped with proper amenities. However, the absence of a database of patients hampers the monitoring of relapse rates.
