De-addiction
Breaking the Chains of Addiction – Bringing Hope and Recovery
In the tribal and underdeveloped regions of Gadchiroli district, Maharashtra, alcohol and substance abuse is a major issue affecting entire families. Many people fall into the trap of addiction due to poverty, lack of awareness, unemployment, and emotional stress. This not only ruins lives but also pushes families into deeper poverty and social isolation.
At The Josh Foundation, we are committed to helping people break free from the chains of addiction and start a new life with hope, dignity, and purpose.
Why De-addiction is Crucial in Tribal Areas?
Addiction in tribal communities leads to:
Financial hardship and increased poverty
Domestic violence and broken families
Health problems like liver damage, mental illness, and early death
Neglect of children and elderly family members
Increased crime and social unrest
Loss of traditional culture and values
Many addicted individuals end up isolated, unemployed, and neglected, often unable to seek help due to fear, shame, or lack of resources
What We Do?
Our de-addiction programme is focused on prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, and includes the following key interventions:
🚶♂️ Counselling and Emotional Support
We provide regular one-on-one counselling sessions, group therapy, and family support to help addicts overcome emotional pain, guilt, and shame. Our trained counsellors work closely with families to rebuild trust and relationships.
📢 Awareness and Education
We conduct village-level awareness camps, street plays, and community meetings to educate people about the harmful effects of addiction. We also distribute pamphlets and posters in local languages to reach the maximum number of people.
🏥 Medical Support and Detox
Through our Charitable Hospital at Jimalgatta, we provide medical treatment, detox support, and emergency care to patients suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms or addiction-related health problems.
👥 Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Peer Support
We encourage former addicts to form Self-Help Groups where they can share their stories, motivate each other, and stay committed to a sober life.
🌱 Rehabilitation and Skill Training
We help recovered addicts learn new skills, find jobs, or start small businesses, so they can regain their self-respect and become financially independent.
