What we treat
Addiction Types We Support
Tramadol, Codeine, and Cannabis: Nigeria's Drug Crisis
Nigeria faces a complex drug crisis involving cannabis, prescription drug misuse (tramadol, codeine cough syrup), and emerging methamphetamine use. The NDLEA has intensified enforcement, but treatment capacity remains severely limited. LiveLibro provides immediate, structured support from any smartphone.
Alcohol Use Disorder in Nigeria
Despite a significant Muslim population, Nigeria has high rates of alcohol use disorder, particularly in southern states. Palm wine, burukutu, and imported spirits are widely consumed. Stigma prevents many from seeking help. LiveLibro offers a private, judgment-free recovery programme.
Nigeria's Sports Betting Epidemic
Nigeria has Africa's largest sports betting market, with over 60 million active bettors. Platforms like Bet9ja and NairaBet are deeply embedded in daily life. Problem gambling is linked to financial ruin, family breakdown, and mental health crises. LiveLibro's gambling programme addresses the root psychological causes.
