Kolkata
≈ 220 kmHow to reach: Sealdah / Howrah → Asansol train, then car to Neamatpur.
Pickup from anywhere in the city is common. Families often come once for a first meeting, and a residential stretch follows.
West Bengal
A rehab centre for families across West Bengal.
Based in Neamatpur, on the Asansol side — the closer you are to the centre, the less the journey is a barrier. But we hear from every corner of the state, and the door works the same either way.
The state we know best
West Bengal, at eye level.
Alcohol is the biggest reason families call us — daru, desi, whisky, whatever the household calls it. Ganja is close behind, especially among younger people. Brown sugar comes up more often in the industrial belts. Cough syrup and sleeping tablets are the two we hear about least openly and treat most often. Gutka and khaini almost never get a family to book a centre — but they should, and we take that work too.
We have been in this quietly since 2018. Government registration S0003646 of 2018-2019. English, Hindi and Bengali are all fluent at the centre — the counsellor sits with the family in the language the family lives in.

What West Bengal families ask
The questions we hear most.
- How long does treatment usually take?
- A first meeting is one hour, free. The programme after that depends on the substance and the household. Day support runs anywhere from two weeks to three months. A residential stretch — when needed — is usually two to eight weeks. Aftercare continues long after that, mostly by phone.
- My father drinks every morning. Can he stop at home?
- Please do not make him stop cold at home. Long-standing morning drinking can be dangerous to stop without medical support — seizures happen. Call us first. A short hospital detox may be needed before the counselling work begins.
- We are in Kolkata. Will we have to move here for a month?
- Not always. Some plans are a short residential stretch at the centre, followed by phone reviews from home. Some families prefer weekly day-visits and drive up on Tuesdays and Fridays for the family hour. We shape it around what your household can actually do.
- Is the treatment confidential? What about the neighbours?
- Yes. We do not tell anyone. No workplace, no neighbour, no relative. The only exception is a court-ordered situation, which is rare and always discussed with you first.
- Does the government fee apply here? Is there subsidy?
- The first meeting is free. Beyond that, the fee is set to keep the centre running, and families with genuine hardship can ask for a review. We are transparent about numbers on the phone — nothing is hidden until you arrive.
- My son uses ganja every day. Is that really addiction?
- If it is every day and the day does not work without it, yes — it counts. Cannabis dependence is common and we treat it. Group sessions with other young men from the state work better than lectures. Bring him in for the first meeting.
