ASHAKIRAN CENTER FOR DEADDICTION AND
COUNSELLING
1. Who we are. . .
ASHA
KIRAN is translated as “Ray of Hope” which is true to the nature of
deaddiction centre giving hope and confidence to those who get
treated here. The center is situated at Palya a small village Hassan
District on the National Highway 75 linking the cities of Bangalore
and Mangalore. Asha Kiran at Palya solely caters to the needs of the
persons with substance use disorder. While the purpose is to serve
all the victims of substance abuse, the majority of inmates are
alcoholics. Most of the people with addiction are from lower middle
class and poor, under employed workers from unorganized or
agricultural sector. The cold climatic conditions of Western Ghats
could also be an added reason for addiction. It is a vicious circle
that due to stressful life and poverty; they fall prey to alcohol
and due to which they remain poor all along. The people are also
victims of other social evils like illiteracy, child labour, caste
discrimination, exploitation of women and children etc. Asha Kiran
concentrates on changing the lifestyle of these persons, not just in
deaddiction but promising a better life and dignity in the family
and wellbeing of society.

3. Treatment plan

Substance abuse is a progressive disease; hence, recovery too is
a slow and prolonged process. The voluntary admission is rare and
treatment, both physical and psychological is intense. Hence, a good
institution will create an atmosphere that is conducive for
treatment. Asha Kiran provides 30 days of institutional treatment in
phases. We provide the pharmacology services by a psychiatrist
doctor, and a full-time residential nurse. The patients are
counselled by a qualified counsellor. A social worker for monitoring
and accompanying the patients. A ward boy to assist the patients and
domestic staff to maintain hygiene and cleanliness.
