The Guardian Angel
By Tamera Tamnai Psenjen
NACADA is a government agency that exists to curb the use of drugs and illicit substances. Many would see this and turn the other way because of the involvement of the government, but they should not. This organizations helps each and every person regardless of any political or societal issues. We neither judge nor turn anybody away.
The helpline is free and working 24/7, and if a call does not or will not suffice, you are free to come to the offices and ask for help and guidance, whether it is for yourself or a loved one. The doors are wide open and whatever the problem is, someone is there to help.
Many have walked through these doors carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders due to the effects of drug abuse, either by themselves or a loved one, and have walked out lighter and free.
Our mental health goes hand in hand with our physical health. When we are stressed and overwhelmed, we may turn to drugs as an outlet, but that does not really help in the long run. It is a temporary escape that can lead to addiction. We know the importance of both so you can trust us to treat both your mental and physical health with care.
You not only come to us, but we come to you too. We have campaigns both on the ground and in the media, we visit schools and educate them on drug abuse, and road shows too. When rehab is needed, we walk you through that journey. We understand that it isn’t an easy to step to make, and that is why we offer guidance, resources, and a shoulder to cry on, even after recovery. We are here for you at all times.
