We have educated 25 addicted adolescents about their behaviour, social causes and consequences of drug use and how to prevent the drug usage and its consequences. We helped them a sustained recovery of de-addiction and now they are leading a drug free life and continuing their studies and jobs in Ongole District, Andhra Pradesh, India.
