The battle against narcotics and psychotropic substance addiction remains a pressing global concern, demanding novel solutions that transcend traditional therapeutic approaches. This article embarks on a journey through the multidisciplinary realm of pharmaceutics to explore cutting-edge drug delivery systems tailored for the targeted treatment and rehabilitation of individuals affected by substance abuse. Three groundbreaking systems take centre stage: nano-particle-based delivery, implantable devices, and microencapsulation. Each system offers distinct advantages, from precision drug delivery to continuous release and controlled release kinetics, thus promising enhanced patient compliance and improved treatment outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach in pharmaceutics, merging pharmacology, materials science, and engineering, is pivotal in developing these innovative drug delivery systems. Collaborative research and innovation hold immense promise for revolutionizing addiction treatment, offering hope and effective solutions to those affected. This article serves as a foundation for further exploration of these innovative drug delivery systems, driving the advancement of addiction treatment and rehabilitation towards more targeted, efficient, and patient-centred approaches.
