Testimonials
We had the best experience at the Adrutha campus and their counsellors are so nice and cooperative.
Cadabam’s Adrutha is an amazing place for people with mental health issues. It gives you a safe, secure, independent, natural place to let your wards thrive and sustain their living. My sister is 45 years old, and she has lived here for almost 6 years in this rehab, and she loves it.
Cadabams has helped us so much. Our grandmother was fighting dementia, and she was suffering a lot. Cadabams Rehabilitation helped her. The doctors there were very helpful and caring. They regularly kept in touch with us to give an updated about her.
My father was fighting dementia, and it was difficult to manage it at home. We searched for support for him, and we found Cadabams. They helped us immensely, they cared for him, and he seems so happy there. Thank you Cadabams.
My son was suffering from Schizophrenia. We tried many places to get him treated but none worked. We heard about Cadabam's and once we stepped in here, our lives changed. They have helped us immensely and my son is recovering. I never thought I would see him enjoy life again. Thank you Cadabams.

Ask Cadabams!
Crisis intervention is for situations where a person's mental state poses an immediate risk to their safety or the safety of others. This includes active suicidal thoughts, severe psychosis, extreme agitation, or a complete inability to function due to mental distress. It is an emergency service for acute, unmanageable symptoms.
No, they are different. Crisis intervention is a very short-term service focused on immediate stabilisation and safety planning. Psychiatric hospitalisation is a longer-term inpatient service designed for more comprehensive treatment and management of a severe mental health condition after the initial crisis has been de-escalated.
Crisis intervention is designed for rapid response. The goal is to provide a full assessment and begin support almost immediately upon arrival. The primary aim is to de-escalate the emergency within hours or a few days, ensuring the individual is safe and stable enough to transition to the next level of care.
After an individual is stabilised, our team creates a detailed discharge and aftercare plan. This plan includes a direct referral to the most appropriate form of ongoing care, which could be an outpatient program, psychotherapy, medication management, or a residential rehabilitation program. We ensure a smooth transition to support lasting recovery.
