Samarpan is India's first truly international destination rehab. Many people have questions about what rehab is going to be like, so we have provided answers to some frequently asked questions below.
Samarpan primarily offers a substance use disorder and process addiction program – this includes alcohol, drugs, digital, compulsive sexual behaviors and prescription medications; however, our program is able to cater for clients with co-occurring disorders through our integrated treatment approach.
Clients will be assessed for suitability of entry into the program by one of our qualified Mental Health Professionals. Your first point of contact when calling us will be with a professional who actually works at our rehab. They will be able to answer any questions that you may have, and alleviate any fears or misconceptions as to what rehab is about. If you are rehab ready, you will be admitted into our centre at Mulshi. On completion of the residential treatment program, you will have your continuing care through our Mumbai outpatient clinic as part of your package.
Apart from the time-tested, proven Integrated Treatment Model, which is the foundation of Samarpan’s addiction treatment program, we seek to address the problem through evidence-based therapies and a holistic blend of psychiatry, group therapy, relapse prevention, Art Therapy, Mutual-aid/12 Step Facilitation and psychological therapies, supplemented by expert guidance on health, exercise, yoga, diet and other complimentary treatment interventions in an exclusive, serene environment. The treatment plan is customized to meet your specific needs.
At Samarpan, the following are part of the core treatment activities on our schedule:
The duration of your program is based on clinical need. However, research suggests that longer stays in treatment produce better outcomes. Our minimum length of residential treatment is for four weeks but we also offer programs lasting up to thirteen weeks. On completing a treatment program at Samarpan, clients will be provided a continuing care program depending upon the length of stay.
Absolutely! Participating in a residential rehabilitation program introduces you to a whole new environment, one of structure and purpose, allowing you to build solid foundations in your lifestyle, as well as learning new tools and skills that you can take away with you to facilitate a new life. We don’t just look at the abstinence from a substance, but also the behavioral changes, so you will be challenged every step of the way – by our empathic and skilled therapists as well as your peer group.
Definitely not! We are committed to being by your side every step of the way in your treatment and healing journey. After the intensive residential program, Samarpan extends all necessary support as you proceed through the transitional recovery phases.
Focused on relapse prevention, our continuing care program comprises post-residential treatment therapy sessions on an outpatient basis at our Mumbai center with the professional help of therapists and medical experts. If you so prefer, the therapy can be provided online.
For all people who have accessed treatment at Samarpan and have completed our program, you will also be able to access our Alumni Program, which offers additional support, meet ups and other activities.
