WHAT IS ADDICTION ?
Addiction is a chronic but treatable brain disorder. Once addicted to a drug, the individual cannot control his need for the drug even when he faces health problems or social / legal consequences. This lack of control & behavioral changes is the result of alcohol/drug-induced changes in the brain.
Imaging studies on brain show that addiction severely alters the areas of the brain which are critical to decision making, learning, memory and behavioural control.
It is because of this that substance abusers exhibit compulsive and destructive behavior.

TESTIMONIALS
I am an alcoholic and I started this habit at the age of 17. Within 2 years time, I became dependent on it that I couldn’t stop drinking. Due to this, I have lost so many things in life – financial loss, physical damages, and lost more than 10 jobs. As I grew in addiction, I started damaging my household articles and started fighting with my parents. It was at that time my mother bought me to this rehabilitation centre and the treatment continued for almost four months .Now I’m very much relaxed and enjoying my sobriety .I also worked there for some time to become more confident so that I could keep myself and my family happy for the rest of my life. - Rajan
