De-addiction services give MD Psychiatry residents a large and varied pool, from alcohol and opioid dependence to cannabis and newer behavioural addictions. The sample titles examine relapse after detoxification, retention on buprenorphine, neurocognitive deficits in alcohol dependence, psychosis with cannabis, family burden and social support, and internet gaming or selfie behaviour among students.
Self-report is the main data source, so validated scales, confidentiality and, where possible, urine drug screens strengthen the findings. Relapse questions need follow-up after discharge, which is hard when patients drop out of care, so plan several contact routes. Student-based surveys are quick but require institutional permission and careful handling of sensitive answers.

4Tips for a Substance Use Disorders thesis
- Use AUDIT for screening, SADQ or CIWA-Ar for severity and withdrawal, and confirm the diagnosis by ICD-11 or DSM-5 criteria through clinical interview.
- Define relapse in advance, for example return to heavy drinking versus any use, and verify it with a family informant or urine screen rather than patient report alone.
- Assess family impact with a validated tool such as the Zarit Burden Interview or the Family Burden Interview Schedule, and interview the primary caregiver separately from the patient.
