Hope Trust is a premier rehabilitation facility where clients are treated with care and concern. It was established in 2002, as a 12-bed facility. Today, it has grown to 30 beds for men and women housed in two facilities. Hope Trust has earned an international reputation for its commitment, ethical standards and professional approach toward effective treatment of addictions.

In a country with few treatment facilities and a lack of guidelines and prescribed standards, Hope Trust has pioneered and benchmarked standards and protocols.

Hope Trust has been rated among the TOP 4 rehabs in India by Reader’s Digest (July 2007). Hope Trust’s model is based on the famed ‘Minnesota Model’ initiated in USA. The treatment aims at total abstinence achieved through the Twelve Steps program. The 12-Steps treatment model has been approved by WHO (World Health Organization) as the ‘most effective treatment for addictions’.

Approach to Recovery

At Hope Trust, clients are gradually taught to lead a disciplined and healthy lifestyle through an intensive schedule including yoga, meditation, therapy classes, daily moral inventory, management of feelings, group / individual counseling, 12-step work, regular attendance at AA / NA meetings and recreation. All this is backed by expert medical and psychiatric services with regular updates to family.

The recovery program is a structured process with clearly defined protocols to address individual issues through various stages of recovery and is based on proven methodologies of addiction counseling and rehabilitation. The staff reviews each case on a daily basis and evolves individual strategies.
