Welcome to the Department of

Drug De-Addiction Center

Complex in nature, addiction causes a patient's family members to suffer greatly as well as numerous health and psychosocial issues. A person may become addicted to drugs, alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, sedatives, inhalants, heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, brown sugar, stimulants, hallucinogens, and other substances. Addiction may also result from certain behaviors, such as gambling.

Loss of control over the substance, using it in spite of negative effects, cravings, progressive increases in the amount of the substance or behavior, loss of other sources of pleasure, and neglecting other crucial obligations are all characteristics of addiction. Since most have experienced its terrible effects, it is only natural for someone to look desperately for a place where their problems can be addressed once they or their family members become aware of them. That usually results in a rehab center. It is evident, though, that these frequently do not resolve the issue and may even make new ones. This is followed by an endlessly frustrating journey of hope and despair marked by repeated admissions to and discharges from rehab centers.

The patient experiences extreme pain and despair as a result of this. Most individuals suffering from this illness are ignorant that it can be effectively treated in contemporary medicine at the right place, improving their chances of recovery by making their attempt to quit smoking a successful one. Despite years of cutting edge scientific research into this field of addictive behavior and addiction, we now know that not everyone who uses an addictive substance is addicted to it or has this disease. But there's a big problem when someone becomes addicted. A medical condition called addiction is caused and sustained by a number of factors. Moreover, we ought to know by now that addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease. According to a number of studies, most people who suffer from this illness have tried multiple times in earnest to quit taking the drug, but they have also failed multiple times. However, most of the time, these are not deemed cute by family members or society.

For treatment of such illness, it requires a highly skilled multidisciplinary team of health professionals to deal with various psychiatric, Psycho- social aspects of addiction as well as the number of physical complications that co-exist with addiction. Present day treatment believe in enhancing motivation to quit, sustaining the motivation at that level, using it for achieving individuals different goals in life, using various medicines to address addiction and to take care of coexisting psycho-social problems with psychiatric and physical illness. It also focuses on the individuals vulnerabilities toward addiction that were responsible for addiction at first place and maintained it later as well; causing repeated failed attempts to quit and takes measures to address them. This is a non coercive client centric collaborative partnership model which is the key to success in addiction treatment. This therefore, needs a highly trained team of expert doctors and supportive staff in the field of addiction medicine and backed by adequate infrastructure to cater to their varied needs.
