What is Harm Reduction?
Who Should Consider Harm Reduction and Detoxification Programs?
Harm reduction and detoxification programs are beneficial for individuals at various stages of substance use. Consider this program if you or a loved one are:
- Experiencing physical or psychological dependence on a substance.
- Facing moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit.

- In need of medical support to manage the physical aspects of addiction.
- Looking for a structured first step toward long-term recovery.

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.
This place changed my life. Would recommend it to everyone for recovery.
Very effective treatment is given by their team of well-trained professionals. They are both patient and family-friendly. The hospital is well organized and the treatment plan is excellent. The activities are challenging and very useful. Our Thanks to Cadabams.
Thanks, Anunitha. My son had gone for deaddiction. Ms. Raji, Jobin, and Sufia have done wonders. He was treated professionally and there is a vast difference in his behavior from before admission and after 2 months of treatment. He liked the food out there. Raji is fantastic. She understands the patient closely and is very attentive. She is completely dedicated. We have constantly been after Raji, Jobin, and Sufia for the ongoing developments in my Son but they have always attended to us calmly and understood our concern. My Son is back to his studies and other activities and leading a normal life. Thanks to the entire staff who was involved in treating my son. Anunitha is a very good place for treating Deaddiction.
We had a very satisfying experience at Anunitha. The professional approach and the diligent personal involvement were exemplary. I would particularly put on record the contribution of Mr. Rajsekhar for handholding and for providing us the clarity and direction of the process and for Mrs. Renuka, Mr. Biju, and Mrs. Saji for taking care of all the requirements of professional service during the course.
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!
No, detoxification is the first stage of addiction recovery, not a complete treatment. It focuses on safely managing withdrawal from substances. For lasting recovery, detox must be followed by comprehensive addiction treatment, such as therapy and rehabilitation, to address the underlying psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction.
Yes, medical detoxification is the safest way to stop using certain substances. It is conducted under 24/7 medical supervision where professionals can manage withdrawal symptoms, prevent life-threatening complications, and ensure the patient's comfort and safety throughout the entire process.
The duration of detoxification varies for each person. It typically lasts from 5 to 14 days. The exact timeline depends on factors like the substance used, the length of the addiction, the amount consumed, and the individual's physical and mental health. Our medical team creates a personalized plan for each patient.
After detoxification is complete, the individual is medically stable and ready for the next phase of recovery. The recommended next step is to transition into a residential or outpatient rehabilitation program. This allows the person to address the root causes of their addiction through therapy, counseling, and support groups.
