We, as medicos always ask about addictions at the time of history taking but never actually get an opportunity to learn how to deal with addicts.
Switch India made this possible by organizing a visit for BJites to a de-addiction center in Pune: Kripa Foundation, on 10th Aug,18.
Kripa Foundation is helping thousands of people recover from their alcohol & substance dependency with a strong, well-rounded program featuring detoxification, rehabilitation, aftercare, and the option for extended care.
The general intent is to enable the patient to confront substance dependence & cease substance abuse to avoid the psychological, legal, financial, social, and physical consequences that can be caused, especially by extreme abuse.
The minimum period of 3 months is required for patients to recover. The addicts are counseled by experts from time to time & get to share their experience with other addicts. Kripa helps patients change their attitudes & lifestyle.
The yoga & meditation sessions conducted also play an important role in helping patients overcome their addictions.
Patients often find it difficult to establish themselves in society after recovering from their addictions. Kripa provides special house-manship to such patients in order to help prevent relapses.
Kripa foundation has about 28 centers all over India & 6 centers abroad. Kripa is efficiently helping patients with chemical dependency & HIV Infection.
