Clinical Foundation:
Based on the "Standard Treatment Guidelines for the Management of Substance Use Disorders and Behavioral Addictions" of the TC & DDAP division of MOHFW, this app translates these management protocols into an easily accessible, point-of-care tool.

Developed by NIMHANS:
Created by the Centre for Addiction Medicine at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India—a premier institution for mental health and neurosciences. This app reflects our commitment to democratizing specialized knowledge in the field of addiction medicine.

Important Note:
While we have made every effort to provide accurate information based on reliable sources, medicine is an ever-evolving science. Physicians are advised to use their clinical judgment and apply their knowledge accordingly. This app is a clinical decision support tool and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical judgment.
