Patients and family members are encouraged to attend Addicts Anonymous (AA) and Al-anon meetings. Meetings are also held at the hospital premises. Helping the family towards leading a qualitative life
Addiction is an illness that affects not only the addicted individual, but also his family members. The family is provided with emotional support to manage the stress caused by the behavior of the addict. Guidelines to help the patient in his recovery form part of this two week programme. Since family is a powerful support in recovery, family members’ attendance to the family programme is mandatory. Social Support Programme
The Social Support Programme aims at exploring the possible support the recovering patients can receive from the society in which they live and utilizing it towards their recovery. The support persons are usually family members (other than the spouse) or co-workers or friends. Contact with the support persons helps in stabilizing recovery and ensuring regular follow-up. The support persons’ programme is conducted on alternate Saturdays from 10.00 a.m.
