 De-addiction Treatment & Rehabilitation:
Navjyoti offers a multidisciplinary treatment programme, which addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the illness. Treatment for each of these dimensions is provided so that the patient may return to the family, job and environment with improved physical and mental well being, free from chemical dependency and equipped with the tools necessary to maintain a drug free life style.
The main goal is to provide an environment that is best possible for recovering. The programme is based on the belief that drug dependency is a chronic progressive and potentially fatal disease but is treatable and that the recovery process can be an experience of freedom, happiness and joy.
Through this programme, patients learn the fundamental skills of recovery and make commitment to a life style of sobriety through total abstinence. Navjyoti also believes that recovery is a continuous process of growth whereby in addition to the patients, the family and the community has an equally important role to play. Therefore, apart from the treatment programme for the patients intervention is also planned for the family and the community.
Treatment is based on the “Bio Psycho Spiritual Social” management with the belief that drug addiction is a disorder of the whole person and hence needs to be caressed holistically.
Treatment Based on “Bio-Psycho-Spiritual-Social” Management
The treatment plan is divided into three developmental phases:
I Phase : Preparatory Phase (OPD)
II Phase : Six months residential treatment programme
III Phase : Rehabilitation Phase (After Care Group)
PHASE I : PREPARATORY (OPD)
The patient is motivated to undergo treatment in this phase through OPD.
 Here the patient is made to attend certain disciplinary programmes through which he is mentally prepared for quitting drugs by reviewing experiences and recognizing the damage and distress that drug use has caused. The patient is required to visit OPD daily for 1-20 days from 9am to 5pm depending on his ability and readiness for undergoing treatment. After the registration of the patient, he is first screened for any other major illness requiring specialized treatment. His nature of addition is assessed to plan intervention programme accordingly. Besides, the patients and their family members are also provided with general rules and regulations of the programme.
PHASE II : SIX MONTHS RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMME
Once the patient is motivated for treatment in OPD, he is admitted to undergo a six months residential treatment programme.
Treatment Programme
The patient is made to live in a therapeutic community and treated holistically on physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects. Detoxification is carried on using homoeopathy, yoga and naturopathy. Behaviour modification is emphasized throughout the programme for better personality development through personal introspection, working on the negative attitudes, counselling, discipline, encountering, educative and interactive sessions. Spiritual feelings are also inculcated esp. at the end of the treatment programme through meditation, Vippassna, Art of living, Yoga etc
Activities:
PHASE III: AFTER CARE AND REHABILITATION
After Care and Rehabilitation programme for the addicts was started in the year 1995 in order to maintain the gains made in the treatment. Presently, a three month after care and rehabilitation programme is being run whereby the patient reports in the OPD regularly for three months after completing the residential treatment. He is provided with a safe environment and equipped with skills to handle cravings through regular sharing, counseling and spiritual sessions. This has gone a long way in reducing the relapse rate.
