“…The family's physical and financial resources, parents' direct caregiving practices, their social interactions within and outside the home environment and the reflections and memories exchanged or withheld by family members about the family play an essential role in resorting to drug addiction 3 .

In the wake of the growing menace of drug addiction in Pakistan and the least amount of authentic documentation on the subject, the objective of the study is to understand drug addiction as well as the drug recovery and relapse from a recovering individual's point of view to kickstart the research in this area in Pakistan.…”

In Pakistan, 64% of the total population is under the age of 30 and unfortunately, the increasing number of young addicts in Pakistan is estimated at the distressing rate of 40,000 per year. By considering the alarming situation and scarcity of literature, this research aims to investigate the recovery phase of drug addiction by introducing a case that highlights drug addiction, recovery, and relapse in the Pakistani context. We designed a case study approach in which face-to-face interviews were used. The case under consideration is a 38 years old patient with a history of chronic addiction with episodes of recovery and relapses. The shift of approaches from the extreme end of the addiction continuum to full recovery poses an opportunity for drug rehabilitation professionals to learn factors associated with drug addiction, the recovery process, and first-hand comments on recovering interventions in Pakistan.
