Addiction Treatment in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai

Addiction is a treatable health condition in which a person cannot control their use of alcohol, tobacco or drugs despite harm. At Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, psychiatrists provide outpatient addiction treatment with medicines to ease withdrawal and cravings, counselling, and family support. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: whether inpatient detoxification is available at Apex; if not, state the referral pathway]

If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide or self-harm, or is in immediate danger, call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department now, or come to the Apex 24/7 Emergency department. For free, 24×7 mental health support in your language, call the government’s Tele-MANAS helpline on 14416 or 1-800-891-4416.

 

Stopping alcohol suddenly after heavy daily drinking can be dangerous. Seek emergency care for shaking, confusion, seeing or hearing things, fits or high fever after stopping alcohol. Call 108, or come to the 24/7 Emergency department.

Signs of addiction

How treatment works

  1. Assessment of your substance use, physical health and mental health.
  2. Safe withdrawal with medicines, as an outpatient when safe, or with referral for admission when needed.
  3. Medicines to reduce cravings and prevent relapse, where suitable.
  4. Counselling to build motivation and coping skills.
  5. Family sessions and regular follow-up.

Physical health checks

Long-term alcohol and substance use can affect the liver, heart, stomach and nerves. Our gastroenterologists, physicians and other specialists can check and treat these problems.

Honest expectations

Recovery is possible, but it takes time and slips can happen. There is no instant or ‘secret’ cure. Medicines work best with counselling, family support and regular follow-up. Be cautious of anyone who promises guaranteed results or gives medicines without the person’s knowledge.

 Frequently asked questions

Can addiction be treated without admission?

Often yes. Many people are treated as outpatients. Heavy daily drinkers or people with past severe withdrawal may need admission for safe detox.

Is it safe to stop alcohol suddenly?

Not always. After heavy daily drinking, sudden stopping can cause dangerous withdrawal. Get medical advice first.

Can medicines be given without the person knowing?

No. Giving medicines secretly is unsafe and unethical. Treatment works best with the person’s involvement.

Can family members come for counselling?

Yes. Family support is an important part of recovery.
