Prevention

Prevention is better than cure!

In our opinion, generating awareness of the evils of addiction is essential for creating a drug free society. Accordingly we have been doing our bit in the form of street plays, awareness lectures, film shows etc. These are conducted at industries, addiction prone areas, cities and towns in Maharashtra State, educational institutes and at various other community platforms. We have conducted awareness programs for colleges, schools, truck drivers, teachers, factory workers, nurses, doctors, medical students and even religious leaders. We have staged over 275 street plays till date. We also closely co-operate with the police and the Crime Branch in curbing the illegal traffic in narcotic substances by sharing information with them. This information becomes accessible to us through our close interaction with the patients.

Awareness Programs
Madhur IRCA conducts awareness programs. Programs on drugs and alcohol addiction is conducted amongst Schools, Colleges, University, Industries and communities. These programs are customised according to the program participants and are aimed towards minimizing the abuse of drugs & alcohol encouraging addicts/dependents to access treatment.

Treatment & Rehabilitation

Why is family therapy important

Addiction affects the family as much as the addict – they too need help.
Families often develop a dysfunctional pattern of behaviour – they are unable to recover without active intervention.
Families can facilitate the recovery process – they need to be sensitized.
Families can and must change irrespective of the addict’s recovery – they need to be empowered to go beyond merely coping with the problem.

The objective of the Family Programme

To provide information about addiction and its impact on the family
To help provide a safe environment to express their feelings and resolve their problems
To recognize their dysfunctional traits and change
To understand recovery as a process and extend the right support to the recovering person

Family Therapy Components

Reflection on a thought for the day– to introduce the concept
Lecture sessions– to provide information about addiction and family recovery
Group therapy– to discuss issues and resolve problems in a group
Individual counseling sessions– to develop an individual recovery plan
Family support group meetings– to work on recovery on a long term basis

Family Therapy helps family members to

Improve level of self care
Fulfil one’s own responsibilities
Establish meaningful relationships with family and others
Develop spiritual strength
Feel valued and worthwhile irrespective of the patient’s recovery
Work on their own recovery which can eventually influence patient’s recovery from addiction
Provide appropriate kind of support to the patient

Group therapy

This is a very important part of the MadhurTherapeutic Model. The groups are formed on the basis of date of admission. All friends admitted on Monday to Friday are considered. On completion of a week on subsequent Friday they graduate to the second week.

We have experienced that this pattern of group formation is the crux of recovery process. During first week our friends are just recovering from withdrawals. Many of them feel homesick. Some of them are in denial. Some of them find it difficult to cope up with the fact of being admitted to a center. So the first week group is more or less experiencing discomfort. Even if the group may include friends from varying financial, educational or intellectual background, they are emotionally at one level, and hence relate to each other. We feel that this emotional cohesiveness works well in the process of recovery.

Our friends graduate to the subsequent weeks and evolve in a wonderful group. Just like defence staff or college students, Madhur graduates proudly call each other “batch-mates”. Initially topics for group therapy are more focused on information and motivation.

In the second week they are introduced to first four steps of AA and basic concepts of REBT.
Third week primarily focuses on emotional problems, stress management and deals with skills training.
Fourth week deals with behavioral and cognitive skills to stay sober.

Follow-up center activities

Counselors from Madhur make regular visits to follow-up centers. While at the follow-up centers, they:

Make home visits if required
attend to patients in need of individual counselling
Determine if a patient needs to be admitted to the de-addiction center
Develop support groups consisting of ex-patients
conduct family counselling and Sobat Astanameetings

Sobat Astana :”He never listens to me!”,Veena was saying about Gopal, her recovering husband. Gopal in turn complained that Veena always bombarded him with questions and complaints the moment he got back home from work, which irked him most. He thought she should instead wait until he settled down before shooting her questions.

Dialogs like this one are often heard at the meetings of Sobat Astana a group specially created for couples. Marital life is about bringing the wife and husband closer than ever, it’s about sharing the joys and sorrows together and living a happy life. But during addiction this relationship is worst affected. Disagreements turn into conflicts. Husband and wife get distanced from each other. Communication gap widens as time goes on.

To address these problems, the SobatAstana group focuses on issues like demands and expectations, love, dealing with disagreements & disputes, sensible parenting, problems of intimacy etc. Meetings are interactive and open-mindedness is encouraged. New members learn from the experiences of senior couples. The meeting is conducted by a counsellor. The counsellor intervenes and solves disputes if and when they occur during the meeting.
