Residential Programme
TRADA’s Residential treatment and Rehabilitation Programme, is a high quality one, combining a multidisciplinary therapy approach with after-care therapy. This enables the patients and their families to adjust to a new lifestyle, face new responsibilities and gain strength in relationships through the support gained in the programmes of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotic Anonymous. Patients who are admitted at TRADA are diagnosed as per ICD-10 criteria. Our model recognizes that drug and alcohol dependence is a family illness and a behavioural disorder. Detoxification is provided after careful medical evaluation under a skilled Nursing Unit. This unit is functioning round the clock. TRADA COLLEGE
