Alcohol is banned in Bihar. Will you report us if we say he drinks?

No. We are a rehabilitation centre, not law enforcement. What is said in the first meeting and every meeting after stays in the centre. We are here to help stop the drinking — not to file a case.

My husband drinks hooch when he can find it. Is that different?

Medically, yes. Illegal liquor carries much higher risks — including permanent damage from methanol and impurities. Get him in as soon as possible. The counselling is the same, but a medical check comes first.

My father is on painkillers he does not need any more. Is that addiction?

Often, yes. Prescription-drug dependence is one of the more common quiet problems from Bihar. Bring the strips and the doctor's letters if you have them. We work with a psychiatrist for a proper review.

How long does the Patna–Asansol train take?

Roughly five to six hours by daytime express, and a bit longer overnight. Patna–Asansol Toofan, Vibhuti, Vikramshila and others all work. Pickup from Asansol station is included in the plan.

What if we cannot afford the fee?

The first meeting is free. Beyond that, tell us the household situation. Genuine hardship is reviewed. Nothing is decided at the door — it is decided honestly on the phone before you travel.

Do you accept only men, or women also?

We work with women and men. Family sessions include mothers, wives, sisters. Residential arrangements for women are done more carefully — call first and we will describe the current setup honestly.

Bihar

A rehab centre for families across Bihar.

Bihar has a legal ban on alcohol — but families still call about drinking, and about the substances that people turn to when alcohol is scarce. We do not judge. We help. The train from most Bihar districts to Asansol is straightforward.

The Bihar picture

Prohibition is on paper. Dependence is on the ground.

Since 2016, Bihar has had a state-level prohibition on alcohol. What it has not done — and no law can do alone — is remove alcohol dependence from households where it already exists. Families still call us, often quietly, about drinking. Alongside that, we see rising calls about khaini, gutka, cough syrup, sleeping tablets, and — among younger men — ganja and brown sugar. Prohibition also means that when relapse happens, hooch and country-brewed liquor come in — with all the health risks those carry.

We are not the law. We are a centre. What you tell the counsellor stays there. Hindi is the working language for our Bihar families. Government registration S0003646 of 2018-2019.
