FAQs
Voices of recovery
The post-rehab care program really helped me. I had recovered from addiction, but was tempted again after some months of discharge. But, post-rehab care with the treating team here at Cadabams, really helped me keep my head straight.
— Mahesh R
My son had fallen into drug addiction. Rehabilitation here really has helped him recover.
— Rajendra
My little brother. The apple of the family's eye. He is my favourite person. But, drug addiction took its toll on him. He stopped interacting with us, he became very secretive and he started having multiple health problems. We finally made the decision to avail rehabilitation at Cadabams. The change in him has been immense. Through rehabilitation at Cadabams, he has learnt how to stay off the substance and we truly believe that this recovery will be sustained.
— Ananya Srinivasan
Drugs were always a means of escape for me. Sometimes, it seemed easier to consume drugs rather than face reality. My family was very supportive while I tried to fight addiction. We learn about Cadabam's and I enrolled into their drug rehabilitation program. Today, I have recovered from addiction, and am in control of my life. I will never forget what Cadabam's did for me.
