Struggling with Drug Addiction? We're Here to Help You Find Recovery

Drug addiction is a chronic condition where individuals become compulsively dependent on substances like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, and others, despite the negative consequences. At Nityanand Rehab Centre, we provide comprehensive treatment plans tailored to help you overcome drug addiction, regain control of your life, and live with long-term stability.

With over 25 years of experience, our expert team of psychiatrists, therapists, and addiction specialists use evidence-based therapies, medication management, and holistic support to address both the psychological and physical aspects of addiction.

What is Drug Addiction?

What is Drug Addiction?

Drug addiction, also referred to as Substance Use Disorder (SUD), occurs when individuals develop a dependence on drugs, either illicit substances or prescribed medications. It can involve:

  • Cravings for the substance
  • Increased tolerance, requiring more of the drug to experience the same effect
  • Withdrawal symptoms when not using
  • Loss of control over consumption
  • Continued use despite harmful consequences (health issues, legal problems, etc.)

Drug addiction not only affects physical health but also mental well-being, causing mood swings, irritability, and cognitive impairments that affect everyday life.

Signs & Symptoms of Drug Addiction

Drug addiction symptoms can vary depending on the type of drug used, but common signs include:

  • Repeated unsuccessful attempts to quit or reduce drug use
  • Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed (e.g., work, hobbies, socialising)
  • Cravings for drugs and difficulty managing them
  • Increased tolerance - needing more of the substance to achieve the same effect
  • Withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, sweating, shaking, nausea, or depression when not using drugs
  • Neglecting responsibilities in family, work, or school
  • Risky behaviours while under the influence (driving, unsafe sex, violent actions)
  • Physical signs such as weight loss, slurred speech, poor hygiene, or track marks (in case of injectable drugs)
  • Mood swings or personality changes when high or coming down

If you or a loved one is experiencing these signs, professional help is crucial.

How We Treat Drug Addiction at Nityanand Rehab Centre

At Nityanand Rehab Centre, we use a multi-disciplinary approach to treat drug addiction. Our personalised treatment plans combine medical care, psychotherapy, and social support, focusing on long-term recovery and improved quality of life.

1. Medical Detoxification and Withdrawal Management

The first step in addiction recovery is detoxification. This process helps the body safely eliminate the drug and manage withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision. Our team provides:

  • 24/7 monitoring and symptom management during detox
  • Medication-assisted detox to reduce discomfort (e.g., Methadone, Buprenorphine for opioid detox)
  • Physical and emotional support to manage withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, agitation, and nausea

2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is one of the most effective therapies for addiction recovery. It helps individuals:

  • Identify negative thought patterns and behaviours that drive drug use
  • Develop coping strategies for cravings and triggers
  • Challenge irrational beliefs about drug use and replace them with healthier behaviours

3. Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)

  • MET helps patients recognise their motivation to quit drugs. This therapy aims to increase commitment to the recovery process and develop positive goals for sobriety.

4. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

  • Medication-assisted treatment is crucial for individuals recovering from opioid, alcohol, or prescription drug addiction. MAT medications, such as Methadone, Buprenorphine, and Naltrexone, help manage cravings and reduce relapse risk.

5. Family Therapy

Drug addiction affects both the individual and their family. Our family therapy sessions focus on:

  • Improving communication and family dynamics
  • Educating families about the addiction process
  • Providing tools for support and coping with the challenges of addiction

6. Group Therapy and Peer Support

  • Our group therapy sessions offer individuals the opportunity to share experiences, learn from others, and build a supportive recovery network. Peer support helps reduce isolation, shame and builds mutual understanding.

7. Holistic Therapies & Wellness Programs

We integrate holistic therapies to support recovery, including:

  • Yoga and breathing exercises to improve mental focus and reduce stress
  • Mindfulness and meditation to manage anxiety and cravings
  • Nutritional counselling and fitness training to restore physical health

These therapies complement traditional treatments, helping patients restore balance to both body and mind.
