Freedom, in its truest sense, is freedom from what holds us back. 🇮🇳

At Niramay De-Addiction Centre we celebrated Independence Day with warmth, simplicity, and a deeper reflection on what freedom truly means.

We were honoured to have Senior Advocate Neelima Mysur as our Chief Guest. In her insightful address, she spoke about how our clients need to free themselves from addiction and experience the meaning of freedom in its truest sense, the freedom to reclaim their lives, choices, relationships, and future.

We continued the celebration with our Music Therapy session, which was enjoyed not just by our clients but also deeply appreciated by our guest. It was heartwarming to see music bring everyone together in the spirit of joy and freedom.

It was a humble yet lovely Independence Day celebration at Niramay. 🇮🇳✨

Here are some glimpses of the fourth anniversary celebration of Niramay De-Addiction Centre. Four years of recovery, resilience, community, and gratitude

On the morning of 3rd May, we came together to celebrate the 4th Anniversary of Niramay De-Addiction Centre in the gracious presence of Mr. Ajay Ranade, GM IDBI Bank, Pune, one of our eminent supporters at Niramay, Mr. Vivek D, who has worked extensively in the advertising industry as an Art Director and is also a senior AA member, and our trustee Mrs. Kanchan Pant who has been with us since the beginning of Niramay. All the dignitaries shared their words and wisdom adding more value to our celebration.

The celebration became even more meaningful as our residential staff and ex-patients shared their journeys with courage, and gratitude. A special highlight was the beautiful cake lovingly made by one of our daycare members.

We also took the opportunity to felicitate our resource persons, guides, well-wishers, and supporters who continue to strengthen our work and vision.

The morning concluded with prize distribution for the various competitions and tournaments conducted over the past two weeks for our residential clients, followed by music program, togetherness, and heartfelt thanksgiving.

Here’s to continuing the journey, one day, one step, one life at a time. Immense love and gratitude.
Team Niramay 🙏🏼

निरामय व्यसनमुक्ती केंद्राचा चौथा वर्धापन दिन 3 मे रोजी संपन्न झाला.
आत्तापर्यंत 460 व्यसनाच्या आजाराने ग्रस्त असणा-या लोकांनी ह्या सेंटर मध्ये उपचार घेतले.
निरामयचे वैशिष्ट्य म्हणजे येथे ज्या लोकांना व्यसनमुक्त रहायचे आहे अशाच लोकांना येथे एडमिट करून घेतले जाते, येथे जबरदस्तीने आणले जात नाही. निरामय मधून उपचार घेऊन गेल्यावर परत व्यसनाकडे वळणारी मंडळी परत निरामय येथेच उपचार घ्यायला येतात ही जमेची बाब आहे. एकच एडमिशन आणि व्यसनापासून लांब रहाणारे लोक ह्या चार वर्षांत 36 आहेत. एक वर्षाची व्यसनमुक्ती धरली तर निरामयचा रिकव्हरी रेट हा 25% आहे. World Health Orgnization च्या सर्वेक्षणानुसार तो 7/8% एवढा आहे.
ह्या केंद्राचा रिकव्हरी रेट चांगला असल्याचे कारण म्हणजे येथे येणारी मंडळी आपणहून व्यसन सोडायला येतात. दुसरी गोष्ट म्हणजे येथे अतिशय शास्त्रीय पद्धतीने उपचार दिले जातात. एल्कोहोलिक्स एनाॅनिमस ह्या स्व-मदत गटाचे तत्वज्ञान , मानसशास्त्रीय उपचार पद्धती, आर्ट बेस्ड थेरपी, योग/मेडीटेशन/संगीत उपचार ह्याचा समावेश ह्या मध्ये आहे. शिस्त- स्वच्छता- उपचार ह्या त्रिसूत्री वर ही उपचार पद्धती आखली गेली आहे.
वैयक्तिक तसेच गट समुपदेशन ही ह्या केंद्राची खासियत आहे.
व्यसनाधीनता हा आजार आहे आणि त्याची व्याप्ती खूप असल्याने ह्या आजाराला आटोक्यात ठेवण्यासाठी काही काळ सातत्याने प्रयत्न करावे लागतात जसे की फाॅलो-अप ठेवणे, ए.ए. सभांना उपस्थित रहाणे, भावनिक चढ-उतार सांभाळणे, समुपदेशकाची वारंवार मदत घेणे इत्यादी.
आज निरामय ची व्यवस्था उत्तम प्रकारे बसली आहे. प्रोफेशनल स्टाफ तसेच अनुभवातून शिक्षण घेतलेला स्टाफ ह्यांची टीम अतिशय चांगल्या प्रकारे काम करते.
ह्या केंद्राला सहकार्य करणारी सर्व visiting फॅकल्टी, शुभचिंतक, देणगीदार, ए.ए. सभासद ह्यांचे हे केंद्र ॠणी आहे.
पुढेही असेच सहकार्य मिळेल ही खात्री आहेच.
लोभ असावा.
धन्यवाद

March was marvellous at Niramay De-Addiction Centre a month filled with celebrations, connection, and meaningful learning.

Our Holi celebrations looked like the first image, colours on paper, and even more in our hearts.
Around Holi, the centre was also buzzing with energy through a series of indoor games and creative engagements, carrom, chess, and table tennis tournaments, along with a singing competition, extempore, and picture composition activities. The enthusiasm and wholehearted participation from our clients kept creativity flowing and spirits uplifted. It was heartening to see how these simple yet engaging activities created space for connection, and joy.

A vibrant cooking competition on the occasion of Gudi Padwa brought together colourful plates and even more colourful spirits, as our residential clients and staff teams came together to create some truly delightful snacks.

We also hosted a special Applied Theatre session, “New Day, New Beginning,” facilitated by Vaishali Goswami and Trupti Timbe. It was an enriching experience where our residential clients opened up beautifully and took away meaningful reflections.

On International Women's Day, we held a heartfelt conversation with our female faculty, exploring their journeys, the choices that brought them into this field, and how they continue to find calm amidst the chaos, along with their learnings along the way.

Our outreach program at construction sites in Pune is in full swing, with our team showing up with preparedness and intent. It’s encouraging to see participants engaging with interest, gaining awareness about the disease, and exploring what support could look like for them.

Our Arts-Based Therapy sessions continued to focus on drama, stories, and embodiment, simple yet deeply impactful, with sincere participation from our clients leading to meaningful shifts.

We also witnessed a houseful Sahchari meeting, our support space for female family members of residential clients. Going beyond a typical support group, the session was interactive and reflective, engaging with themes of helplessness, awareness, and shared strength.

March reminded us, once again, that healing is not a single moment, but a series of shared experiences, small wins, and steady steps forward.

At Niramay, along with therapy sessions and structured programs recovery is also about reclaiming joy, focus, and healthy connection.

Amidst our dedicated, fast-paced, and on-the-toes daily schedule, our indoor games room becomes a space of balance and bonding. Whether it’s a thoughtful game of chess, a competitive round of carrom, an energetic match of table tennis, or a lively game of Ludo, our residents participate with remarkable dedication and enthusiasm.

These games are not “time-pass.”
They are therapy in motion.

•Chess sharpens concentration, patience, and decision-making.
•Table tennis builds reflexes, physical agility, and healthy release of energy.
•Carrom and Ludo encourage social interaction, teamwork, and light-hearted competition.

In recovery, structure is essential, but so is recreation.
Learning to enjoy simple, substance-free moments is a powerful milestone. It rebuilds confidence, improves cognitive skills, reduces stress, and most importantly, reminds our residents that joy is still accessible, naturally.

At Niramay De-Addiction Centre we believe healing is holistic.
Work and play. Discipline and delight. Effort and ease.

And sometimes, recovery begins with a striker hitting the queen, a checkmate on the board, or laughter echoing around a Ludo square.

January at Niramay was a month of depth, commitment, and quiet victories.

Our residential clients engaged meaningfully with the program throughout the month, showing up every day for the work that recovery asks of them. There were also moments of celebration that reminded us why this journey matters so deeply to us. One of our clients completed three years of sobriety, while another marked the successful completion of a two-month program, having initially planned to stay for just a month. Each milestone, big or small, holds immense value for us at Niramay.

Creativity played a powerful role this month. Preparations for the 26th January programme stood out, clients took full ownership, striving to make it their best, exploring every musical possibility available to them. The day was further enriched by student interns from Fergusson College, who presented a thoughtful dance-drama. Alongside this, our arts-based therapy sessions, rooted in movement, drama, storytelling and voice work, created spaces for expression, reflection, and release.

As always, our faculty continued their engagement with families through the monthly group family meeting, strengthening trust, dialogue, and shared understanding.

Taken together, January was not just busy, it was meaningful. It reaffirmed our belief in the work we do and the people we do it with, every single day, at Niramay De-Addiction Centre

The celebration continued with an entertaining programme by our residential clients and staff, gathered around the bonfire and rice lights, filled with laughter, participation, and shared moments of joy.

Welcoming the new year in this spirit of expression, connection, and hope was truly special. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.

What an Internship at a De-Addiction Centre Offers?

An internship at a de-addiction centre is primarily a learning and exposure-based experience, where growth happens more through observation, reflection, and guided understanding than hands-on work.

What an intern should expect:

Learning through observation: Interns get an opportunity to observe counselling sessions, group processes, routines, and recovery frameworks to understand how treatment works in real settings.

Structured supervision: Learning is supported through discussions, case reflections, and clarification with supervisors rather than independent intervention.

Ethical boundaries: Direct client work is limited. Interns are not expected to counsel, advise, or intervene beyond their training.

Process over performance: The focus is on understanding human behaviour, recovery journeys, and professional conduct along with productivity or output.

Emotional awareness: Interns may witness difficult emotions, relapses, and recovery struggles, which become important learning moments.

Self-reflection: Interns are encouraged to reflect on their own responses, biases, and learnings as part of professional growth.

Respect for recovery: Interns learn the importance of patience, confidentiality, non-judgment, and consistency in a recovery environment.

An internship at a de-addiction centre is about learning how the work is done, not doing the work itself, building insight, sensitivity, and professional grounding that prepares interns for future clinical or field roles.

At Niramay De-Addiction Centre, our clients took on a fun and insightful challenge, building the tallest tower using limited resources.

What emerged was more than a structure:
•Teamwork & communication
•Patience & emotional regulation
•Problem-solving under pressure
•Trust & shared responsibility

Beyond the activity, if you look at it the learnings were profound, for clients and therapists:
•Observing natural leadership and support patterns
•Understanding how individuals navigate conflicts
•Recognizing strengths that often go unnoticed
•Identifying areas where guidance or motivation helps
