LIVING SOBER WELFARE SOCIETY, since its inception, has preferred to be a "treatment" center. All our activities are focused upon helping addicts and their family members to live a happy, healthy and productive life. It is a known fact that LSWS staff mainly consists of recovering addicts along with professional MD, psychiatrists and social workers. The professionals working with us are essentially
involved in medical & psychiatric management of the patients and updating the knowledge base of our staff. Our patients have enlightened us about the experience of addiction. "Addiction is a self-destructive behavior marked by physiological dependence & tolerance, followed by medical complications with emotional consequences, interpersonal problems, and adversely affecting individual's capacity to work and live a social life." We would also like to add that addiction might be caused by any reason whatsoever. Addiction may be the result of a particular event or a series of activating events, or an individual might be genetically, socially, culturally or for any other reasons be trapped in the addiction for which he may or may not be exclusively responsible. However, he owns the responsibility of choosing the narcotic substance or alcohol as a coping mechanism, he is responsible for the acts committed during his addiction and more importantly he has to take the sole responsibility of sober living.
