This paper presents a Sikh perspective on the use of alcohol and drugs. In doing so, it takes into account the dichotomy that exists between Sikh ethical values and the Punjabi cultural attitude toward alcohol and drugs. It further discusses the Sikh perspective on treating substance-related disorders in the light of contemporary approaches to addiction, such as the bio-psychosocial model and the Alcoholics Anonymous twelve-step program. The paper concludes by highlighting the treatment issues that need to be taken into consideration when helping Punjabi-Sikh patients recover from alcohol or drug related addiction
