Drug addiction has become a major problem in Bangladesh especially in Dhaka, affecting people from all walks of life. The awareness of its effects is crucial in order to combat this issue. So Utshob Drug Addiction Treatment Center always tries to fight drug addiction problem by creating awareness amongst the mass people. Our latest venture was to distribute t-shirts amongst rickshaw pullers to aware the passengers with messages printed  in the back. There are several direct and indirect effects of awareness against addiction, these are:

1. Health Effects: Drugs like heroin, marijuana and yaba (methamphetamine) have severe health consequences, including impaired thinking, decreased motor skills, and damage to the brain, heart and other major organs.
2. Economic Impact: Drug addiction can trigger a downhill curve of poverty and joblessness, as individuals suffering from addiction often cannot maintain a job or support their dependables.
3. Social Problems: Drug addiction can lead to strained relationships, crime, homelessness and other social problems. Children of addicted parents are more likely to suffer from neglect and abuse.
4. Legal Issues: Possession and use of drugs are illegal in Bangladesh, leading to a large number of arrests and prison sentences. This puts a strain on the already overburdened justice system and only adds to the problem.
5. Mental Health: Substance abuse often goes hand-in-hand with mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. This can create a vicious cycle, as individuals turn to drugs to escape their mental health problems, only to have the drugs exacerbate their symptoms.

Efforts to raise awareness of the effects of drug addiction must be stepped up in Dhaka, including campaigns aimed at prevention, education, and support for those who are struggling with drug addiction in Dhaka. The government, non-government organizations, and the general public must work together to address this drug addiction and help those affected by it to overcome their addiction and lead healthier, happier lives.

In conclusion, drug addiction is a major problem in Bangladesh with far-reaching effects. Raising awareness of its consequences and providing support for those affected are crucial in combating this issue and creating a safer, healthier society for all.
