“People with substance use disorders need treatment not punishment and drug use
disorders should be approached as demand for quality care and compassion with those who are affected”.
Meet Naeem Warris, a 40-year-old man from urban Pakistan, unmarried and living with his mother. Once surrounded by the comforts of a middle-class life in F-6 Islamabad, Naeem’s world was shattered by the loss of his father, Mr. Warris Masih. Their family’s once-prosperous lifestyle, built on the success of his father’s VCR business in the vibrant 1980s, crumbled in the wake of tragedy.
As grief consumed him, Naeem sought solace in substances, starting innocently with alcohol and spiraling into a dangerous dance with marijuana, heroin, and crystal meth over two decades. His addiction devoured not only his own livelihood but also strained bonds with loved ones, leaving him isolated and jobless, drowning in financial and legal woes. The expenses of his addiction took away everything they owned and left them not even with the scars.
