By auto / bus
≈ 20 kmRoute: Chirkunda toward Neamatpur on the Asansol road. PNB building, Chittaranjan Road.
The ordinary walk-in route.
Chirkunda
A rehab centre just across the border from Chirkunda.
Chirkunda to Neamatpur is about 20 km — auto or bus, no overnight bag required. The centre is in West Bengal; many of the families in the waiting area are from this side of the line.
Border town
The state line is not the obstacle. Getting out of the house is.
Chirkunda sits on the Jharkhand side of a line that families cross every day for work, medicine, and school. Crossing it for a first meeting at New Life Foundation is the same kind of trip. The centre is on Chittaranjan Road, Neamatpur, near the PNB building. We are not a Chirkunda clinic. We are the nearest recovery centre a lot of Chirkunda households actually use, because the road is short and Hindi is the working language in the room.
What comes across the border from this town is the mining-and-highway mix: alcohol, cough syrup bought without a prescription, painkillers after shift work, ganja in younger men, and — less often, taken seriously when it does — brown sugar along the rail corridor. Families sometimes wait because they think a West Bengal centre will not take a Jharkhand address. We will. The first hour is free either way. Government registration S0003646 of 2018-2019.
Walk-in is realistic. Pickup is one of the more common requests on this route when the person will not sit in an auto. Book it a day ahead; the cost is a number on the phone. If a good de-addiction unit in Dhanbad district is a better fit — closer, a hospital ward first — we say the name. We do not admit for the sake of a full bed list.
Tuesday and Friday family hour at 4 still works from Chirkunda if someone can leave work a little early. Phone reviews after the first stretch are normal. The night phone — 90646 76887 — is the same number on both sides of the border.
