Drug abuse and addiction have become growing concerns in Kerala, with increasing numbers of individuals, particularly youth, falling victim to substance misuse. In response, the Kerala Police have launched several awareness campaigns aimed at educating the public about the dangers of drug abuse. These campaigns, often in collaboration with health departments and non-governmental organizations, are designed to discourage drug use and highlight the importance of early intervention.
Additionally, the Kerala Police are involved in rehabilitation programs that focus on helping individuals recover from addiction. These programs provide counseling, medical support, and reintegration opportunities for former addicts. The police also work closely with schools, colleges, and communities to implement drug-free initiatives and prevent the spread of substance abuse.
