Drug addiction
Recovery from drugs is possible.
A confidential conversation is the first step. We answer 24/7.
Understanding the problem
Drug dependence is an illness, not a failing.
Drugs are often first used to feel good, to cope, or to be part of a group. Dependence can follow quietly, and it rarely yields to willpower alone.
Kripa treats drug addiction as a whole-person illness - caring for the body through medical support, the mind through counselling and education, and the relationships around each person through family involvement.
When to reach out
Signs to watch for.
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities once pleasurable
- Persistent sad, anxious, or empty feelings
- Irritability and restlessness
- Fatigue and decreased energy
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
- Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
- Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
- Thoughts of suicide
How Kripa helps
Structure, safety and time.
Withdrawal and stabilisation are medically supervised. Recovery then follows a structured four-month programme: individual and group therapy, 12-Step work of AA/NA, relapse prevention planning, family sessions and a steady daily routine.
What we treat
Whatever has taken hold, there is a way back.
Dependence looks different from person to person. Kripa's drug de-addiction track helps people step away from:
- Benzodiazepines and other sleeping-pill dependence
- Cannabis
- Cocaine
- Codeine
- Heroin and other opiates
- Mephedrone
- Prescription medicines used beyond their prescription
- Alcohol - through our dedicated alcohol de-addiction programme
