Anita Pratap visits a health center that is trying to help them turn their lives around. I started taking heroin because I faced many problems. I was poor and I kept losing my job. Because of drug addiction, I dropped out of college. For them, there is only one doorway to reform, this private rehab center in Karachi.
Poverty is the main reason they are driven to drugs.
Addiction becomes a way to escape the social economic problems they face. There are an estimated three million drug addicts in Pakistan. Half of them are hooked on heroin. Managing these drug addicts is very difficult. They spread rumors and squabble.
