CBB Hospital’s De-Addiction & Rehabilitation Centre in Kochi, Kerala offers comprehensive, medically supervised treatment for alcohol, drug, and substance use disorders. We blend clinical expertise with compassionate care to guide individuals and their families through the difficult journey of recovery — from detoxification to long-term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
Understanding Addiction in India
Substance abuse is a growing public health crisis in India. According to the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC) survey, over 14.6% of Indians aged 10–75 use alcohol, and nearly 2.8% are dependent. Drug use — including cannabis, heroin, opioids, and prescription drug abuse — is rising sharply, especially in Kerala, where social pressures, stress, and easy availability contribute to high dependency rates. Despite the severity of the problem, addiction remains one of the most stigmatized conditions in Indian society — families often hide it due to shame and fear of judgment.
Our De-Addiction Services
- Alcohol De-Addiction: Medically managed alcohol detox, withdrawal management, and long-term sobriety programs.
- Drug De-Addiction: Treatment for dependency on cannabis (ganja), opioids, prescription medications (benzodiazepines, painkillers), synthetic drugs, and heroin.
- Tobacco Cessation: Personalized plans to help individuals quit smoking and smokeless tobacco (gutka, khaini).
- Prescription Drug Abuse: Supportive treatment for misuse of sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medications, and opioid pain relievers.
- Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Integrated care for co-occurring mental health disorders (depression, anxiety, PTSD) alongside addiction.
- Family Counseling & Support: Educating and healing families who have been deeply affected by a loved one’s addiction.
Our Treatment Approach
1. Assessment & Diagnosis
Every patient begins with a thorough medical and psychiatric evaluation to understand the nature and severity of the dependency, underlying mental health conditions, and physical health impact.
2. Medical Detoxification
Detox is the process of safely eliminating substances from the body under medical supervision. Our experienced psychiatrists and physicians manage withdrawal symptoms — which can be life-threatening in severe cases of alcohol or benzodiazepine dependency — ensuring patient safety throughout.
3. Inpatient Rehabilitation
For severe cases, our structured inpatient rehabilitation program provides a safe, supportive environment away from triggers. Patients receive therapy, group sessions, occupational activities, and lifestyle education as part of daily rehabilitation.
4. Outpatient & Day Care Programs
For those with milder dependency or strong family support, we offer outpatient de-addiction programs with regular counseling, medication management, and progress monitoring.
5. Psychological Therapies
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying thought patterns that trigger substance use and replacing them with healthy coping strategies.
- Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET): Building the patient’s internal motivation to achieve and maintain sobriety.
- Relapse Prevention Training: Teaching skills to recognize and resist triggers, manage cravings, and handle high-risk situations.
- 12-Step Facilitation: Guided group-based recovery using evidence-supported 12-step principles.
- Mindfulness & Yoga: Stress reduction and emotional regulation through mindfulness practices rooted in Indian tradition.
6. Aftercare & Relapse Prevention
Recovery doesn’t end at discharge. Our aftercare program includes scheduled follow-up visits, continued counseling, support group participation, and family education to prevent relapse and maintain long-term sobriety.
