Why drug rehab needs medical supervision

Withdrawal from opioids like smack and heroin is intensely painful, and stopping sleeping pills suddenly can cause fits. Stimulants such as MD and cocaine can leave people anxious, paranoid or deeply low. A drug rehabilitation centre with a psychiatrist manages these risks safely. We only guide families from Cantt towards centres where a doctor is involved in treatment.

Addiction in Punjab: what families in Cantt should know

Punjab's battle with chitta (heroin) is well known, and it has touched families in villages and cities alike. Doda post, afeem and the misuse of pharmaceutical opioids are also common, often alongside alcohol. The good news is that opioid addiction is very treatable: Punjab runs government outpatient opioid-assisted treatment (OOAT) clinics, and many private centres offer residential care. We can guide you on both.

Cantt is part of Jalandhar in Punjab, and families here often reach out to us along with neighbours from Basti Sheikh, Rama Mandi and Urban Estate. Being close to the rest of Jalandhar means there are usually several treatment options within easy travelling distance — we help you choose the one that suits your situation, not just the closest.
