He said that the helpline would connect drug dependent persons or their parents with the nodal officers of the board and the State Mental Health Authority in Shimla for initial counselling and guidance. If required, the person would be further referred to the nearest hospital, medical college, and the Integrated Rehabilitation and Counselling Centre with facilities of psychiatric treatment.

Thakur said that the government was contemplating to bring a state integrated drug prevention policy under which a multi-pronged strategy and an effective action plan would be formulated in a practical manner.—TNS
