Addiction is a health condition, not a lack of willpower. Alcohol, tobacco, drugs and sedatives can take over a person's thoughts and routine, strain family life and damage health. Many people want to stop but find it difficult to do so alone.
Treatment starts with an honest, non-judgemental conversation and an assessment of health and risk. It may include supervised withdrawal management, medicines that reduce cravings, counselling and family involvement.

Patients seeking mental health treatment in Mumbai for addiction are treated with respect and privacy.
