Addiction is a biopsychosocial disorder characterized by repeated use of drugs, or repetitive engagement in behaviour such as gambling, despite harm to self and others. According to the “brain disease model of addiction,” while a number of psychosocial factors contribute to the development and maintenance of addiction, a biological process that is induced by repeated exposure to an addictive stimulus is the core pathology that drives the development and maintenance of an addiction.
Drug addictionis a menace that cannot be ignored. It affects the health of individuals, family relationships and the state economy. It’s a difficult battle to fight alone. The good news is that there are a number of treatment and de-addiction centres in India that can help addicts.

We work on a multidimensional approach to deal with addiction like:

Psychological intervention
Psychological intervention is the most important as addiction is primarily a psycho/social/behavioral problem. Addiction counseling can take place in different forms, most often in one to one fashion but is also available in a couple, family and group format. Addiction counseling is a facilitative process which helps overcome any personals and anxiety which they may be experiencing. Professional counselors advise patients against further relapse. Guide them to live and drugs and alcohol free life. Work on their physical withdrawal symptoms and how to control craving. Discuss with the patients about the short term and long term impact of addiction.
