We seek to put forward 'Project Connection-Aid' which converges technology with societal issues and aims to create an online portal to combat addiction to various substances. The portal will be an interface between drug users, psychotherapists, and people who have successfully recovered from addiction and their family. After administration of a care-plan and psychological assessment, the drug user will be motivated to use treatment services or medical aid will be given if required and will be directly linked to support groups. The families of drug users will also be connected to the concerned stakeholders. Moreover, families will be connected with institutions providing evidence-based treatment services. As addicts find it extremely challenging to form meaningful relationships based on trust; they will see other recovering addicts as their allies. And, people in recovery will have a wealth of experience that will be of benefit to others following the same path.
