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.
