Using an evidence-based and gender-responsive curriculum, this holistic programme provides an ‘abstinence-based’ approach to recovery. The duration of the treatment is based on client needs and is overseen by experienced and dedicated female staff. Special care is taken to address the women’s individual needs, which is why emphasis is laid on frequent inter-personal sessions. Our aim is to provide sustained care to the most marginalised and neglected section of the community (women) who have no forum to air their grievances and none to share their trauma with. Their transition from drug dependence to recovery is documented and closely monitored until they become capable of leading productive lives, either singly or within the family fold.
