Ministry of Health supplied UNESCO with a document that focused on drug treatment sites in India, under their responsibility. On the list were various categories titled as follows: National Centre and other Centres established in Central Hospitals/

In order to communicate with those responsible or associated with the various drug treatment facilities nation wide required an extensive search utilizing the internet and search engines, primarily Google. Names of a hospital or the centre plus the state were typed into Google. Alternatively official government sites that fall under the State Ministry of Health were also examined. While this was moderately successful for some states, this did not prove successful such as states found in the North East (Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Assam), Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and a few sites in Rajasthan.

As no such inventory of drug treatment centres, with addresses existed, UNESCO commenced the process to create one (see Appendix 5). While not
