India's largest mental healthcare facility, today announced the launch of "Anunitha Deaddiction Centre for Women," a specialized de-addiction center dedicated to supporting women struggling with substance abuse. This launch marks a significant step forward in addressing a previously neglected crisis: addiction among women in India.
The National Survey on Substance Use in India reveals a shocking statistic – 57.4 lakh women are estimated to be battling substance abuse. Peer pressure, lack of awareness about setting boundaries and societal expectations is pushing young women towards addiction, often shrouded in silence leaving them hesitant to seek help due to the stigma associated with addiction. Furthermore, the limited availability of women-specific treatment options has created a significant barrier to recovery.
“Peer pressure is creating havoc among our youth, who often lack the tools to set healthy boundaries. Compounding this is the stigma surrounding addiction, especially for women seeking help. This discourages them from coming forward, hindering their path to recovery", said Neha Cadabam, Psychologist and Executive Director at Cadabams Hospitals.
Anunitha Deaddiction Centre for Women aims to rewrite the narrative surrounding addiction recovery for women. This center provides a safe, supportive and empathetic environment where women can heal without judgment. It acknowledges addiction as a health issue, not a moral failing.
“We are committed to putting our resources towards creating a safe space for women to heal. Anunitha Deaddiction Centre for Women challenges the existing narrative of addiction rehabilitation. Our supportive, empathetic environment fosters a sense of trust and empowers women to overcome addiction”, said Sandesh Cadabam, Managing Director at Cadabams Hospitals.
