Rehabilitation Center
About One Thousand drug addicts get counseling and or treatment from our Rehabilitation Center each year.
Why Rehabilitation CENTER?
Drug addiction is a disease of body and mind due to dependence on drugs/substances. It is a consequence of obsessive-compulsive behavior. All addicts are in a death trap if they do not seek treatment.
Every individual is different physically, psychologically and most importantly bio physiologically. Someone has more obsessions and more affinity to drugs from first exposure and cannot stop. Tolerance gradually increases requiting increased doses and finally become dependent on drugs. Someone may not be so. There is a hypothesis that the presence of some biogenetical factors in the body of some persons is a prime cause of drug dependence. Other factors are contributing, which influence to start drug-taking.
Addicts are physically and mentally sick. They lose a normal lifestyle, unable to earn and live. Like any other disease, they can be cured by treatment. If properly treated and trained, they can get back to normal life.
Our Approach
BYFC is serving in this field since September 01, 1998. Drug abuse prevention detoxification and training center as we call our treatment and rehabilitation center at Savar was established in 2002 aiming to care, counsel and cure drug addicts and to rehabilitate them as normal and confident individuals in their family and community where they were once lost and ignored. We call them “patients” in the center as we do believe that they are not bad or mad but they are simply ill.
Universally accepted methodological 12 STEPS are used to counsel and treat the patients to bring them back to their normal life. We treat addicts in our center where each had to go through a four-month N.A (Narcotics Anonymous) course followed by another month for a follow-up program which made them perfectly fit to go back to their normal life.
