Addiction recovery at Sharanam is medically supervised residential rehabilitation — detoxification under clinical observation, followed by counselling, therapy and a structured relapse-prevention plan for alcohol and substance dependence.
Detox is a medical event, not willpower
Withdrawal from alcohol and some sedatives can be dangerous and, occasionally, fatal. It is not something to attempt at home. Detox here is medically supervised, with observation and symptom management throughout.
What the care involves
- Medically supervised detoxification with 24/7 observation.
- Assessment and treatment of co-occurring illness — depression, anxiety and trauma are very often underneath the addiction, and treating one without the other rarely works.
- Individual and group counselling, without moralising and without shame.
- Family therapy, because addiction is a family illness.
- A written relapse-prevention plan — triggers, coping strategies, support contacts — built before discharge, not after.
- Aftercare and continued contact once the resident goes home.
About relapse
Relapse is common and it is not a moral failure — it is a feature of a chronic relapsing condition. If it happens, the door here stays open.
Questions families ask
Detox is typically 7–14 days depending on the substance. Meaningful rehabilitation usually requires 4–12 weeks of residential care after that. Anyone offering a guaranteed 30-day cure is selling something.
Yes, and we are conscious of how much stigma still attaches to addiction in India. Admission, records and correspondence are handled discreetly.
Relapse is a feature of the condition, not a verdict on the person. The relapse-prevention plan is built to catch it early, aftercare contact continues after discharge, and readmission is always possible.
Yes, and we would insist on it. Co-occurring depression, anxiety or trauma is the norm rather than the exception, and treating the addiction alone tends to fail.
