Drug misuse is a major concern in India, and it leads to a slew of other issues such as hunger, education, and lack of social responsibility. When we want to talk about a problem, the two topics that normally come to mind are the reasons and the cure. This thesis looks at substance addiction from an Indian viewpoint, so it's an effort to talk about the reasons and solutions to the issue. Drug misuse can be classified into three categories: physical, mental, and emotional. We now have a number of policies in place to combat opioid misuse, but there is a lack of enforcement and flaws in them. To combat the issue of substance addiction, social responsibility is also critical; this research aims to propose both social and legal roles. This paper examines the issue of opioid addiction in India, as well as the recent legislation aimed at addressing it. It is a review of the government's regulations on the procurement of medications and their careful inspection. This research aims to provide recommendations for addressing the issue of drug abuse.
