De-addiction treatment in Jaipur, without judgement.
Addiction is a treatable medical condition, not a lack of willpower, and with the right support people do quit and stay quit. Dr. Ashish Yadav, a neuro-psychiatrist (DNB Psychiatry) trained in de-addiction care, helps people cut down or stop alcohol, tobacco, opioids and other substances, and regain control over phone, gaming and porn habits, with safe withdrawal care, counselling, medicines only when needed and relapse prevention, at clinics in Jhotwara and Vaishali Nagar and online across India. Everything is kept confidential.

When to get help.
Get help when you have tried to cut down and could not, or when the habit is harming your health, work, money or relationships.
- You use more, or for longer, than you meant to
- You have tried to cut down or stop and could not keep it up
- You feel strong cravings, or need more to get the same effect
- Stopping brings shaking, sweating, restlessness, poor sleep or irritability
- Work, studies, family or money are suffering because of it
- You hide how much you use, or feel guilty about it
How treatment works.
- A confidential assessment. Your first consultation looks at what you use, how much and how often, any withdrawal symptoms, your physical health, and the stresses, sleep problems or low mood that often sit underneath.
- Safe withdrawal care. If stopping could cause withdrawal, it is planned and supervised, with medicines to keep you safe and comfortable. Most people can do this as outpatients. If inpatient care is needed, you will be guided to the right place.
- Counselling that builds motivation. Structured sessions using motivational and CBT techniques help you understand your triggers, handle cravings and build a life that does not revolve around the habit.
- Medicines, only when needed. Anti-craving medicines and nicotine replacement can make quitting easier and lower the chance of relapse. The decision is always made together with you.
- Family involvement. With your consent, family members learn how to support recovery without blame, and how to respond if old patterns return.
- Relapse prevention and follow-up. Regular reviews in the first months, when the risk of relapse is highest, with a written plan for high-risk situations. A slip is treated as information to learn from, not a failure.
De-addiction, your questions answered.
Clear answers to what people ask most about treatment. Have another question?
Ask on WhatsApp →What is addiction?
Addiction is a medical condition in which you keep using a substance or repeating a behaviour despite harm, find it hard to control, and feel cravings or discomfort when you stop. Repeated use changes the brain’s reward and self-control systems, which is why willpower alone is often not enough. It is treatable, and many people recover fully.
Is it safe to stop drinking alcohol suddenly at home?
Not always. If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can cause dangerous withdrawal, including severe shaking, confusion, seizures or hallucinations, usually within the first 1 to 3 days. Speak to a doctor before you stop, so withdrawal can be planned and managed safely with medicines.
Can opioid addiction (doda post, afeem, smack) be treated?
Yes. Opioid withdrawal is very uncomfortable but can be managed safely with medicines that ease the symptoms. For many people, long-term medicine-assisted treatment greatly lowers the chance of relapse, and you will be guided on the right option. One important safety point: after a period without opioids, the body loses its tolerance, so going back to the old amount can cause a fatal overdose.
How long does de-addiction treatment take?
Withdrawal itself usually settles within 5 to 10 days. Recovery takes longer: the first 3 to 6 months matter most, and regular follow-up for about a year gives the best chance of staying quit. Counselling and anti-craving medicines, where used, are usually continued for several months.
Are de-addiction medicines addictive?
Most medicines used in de-addiction, such as anti-craving medicines and nicotine replacement, are not addictive and are used for a planned period. Medicines used for a few days during withdrawal are tapered and stopped under supervision. Your doctor will explain what each medicine does and how long it is needed.
Can phone, gaming or porn use really be an addiction?
Yes, they can become behavioural addictions. When use feels out of control, keeps growing, crowds out sleep, work or relationships, and continues despite trying to stop, it follows the same pattern as substance addiction. Treatment uses CBT, practical limits and work on the stress, boredom or low mood that often drive it.
Does a relapse mean treatment has failed?
No. Relapse is common in recovery, especially in the first year, and it is a signal to adjust the plan rather than give up. Most people who stay in treatment after a slip go on to longer periods of recovery. Getting back in touch quickly makes the biggest difference.
What if my family member refuses treatment?
You can still come for guidance on your own. Family members can learn ways to talk that reduce conflict and make treatment more likely, and how to look after themselves. Forcing or shaming rarely works, but steady, calm support often does.
Will my treatment be kept confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between you and your doctor, consultations are never recorded, and nothing is shared with your employer or family without your consent, except where the law requires it to keep someone safe.
Does alcohol help you sleep?
No. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but it fragments the second half of the night and cuts the REM sleep your brain needs for emotional balance, so you wake less rested. Sleep often takes a few weeks to settle after stopping. How to sleep better has practical steps.
How can I handle stress without going back to the habit?
Have quick, healthy tools ready for the moments that used to trigger use: a one-minute cyclic sigh, a brisk 10-minute walk, writing one line that names the feeling, and a fixed daily slot for worries. Practise them every day so they come naturally under pressure. See the daily stress toolkit.
Start with these, at your own pace.

Practical questions, answered simply.
What people usually ask before their first appointment. Still unsure?
Ask on WhatsApp →What happens at the first de-addiction consultation?
A 60-minute first consultation is recommended, so there is time to understand your use, health, withdrawal risk and daily life. You leave with a clear plan, including whether withdrawal needs supervision. Bring any previous prescriptions and recent blood reports if you have them.
Can I get de-addiction treatment online?
Yes, for many people. Counselling, follow-ups and quitting plans work well over video. If withdrawal needs close monitoring or a physical examination, an in-person visit at a clinic will be advised.
How much does de-addiction treatment cost?
The first consultation is ₹799 for 30 minutes or ₹1,499 for 60 minutes, online or in person, and follow-ups are ₹499. If counselling sessions suit you, the number of sessions and their fees are discussed with you after the first consultation.
Can a family member come with me?
Yes, one family member can join with your consent, and in de-addiction their support often helps a lot. You can also ask for part of the session to be one-to-one.
Not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger or thinking of self-harm, go to the nearest hospital emergency, call 112, or call Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free, 24×7).
