Patient Information:

Name: Rohit (Name has been changed to protect privacy)

Age: 27

Gender: MaleBackground: Corporate worker from Mumbai, IT professionalThe addition of Rohit took a subtle start. As an IT professional working in a high-stress job, he first started drinking as a method to unwind during long working hours. His dependence gradually moved to leisure drugs, primarily MDMA and prescription medication stimulants, usually taken during weekend gatherings or within tight deadlines.What began as sporadic use soon became a habit. Before he called his family for assistance, Rohit was using drugs 4–5 times a week. His sleep pattern was disturbed, his performance at work suffered, and he started avoiding friends and family. A routine checkup by his doctor showed him to have elevated liver enzymes and chronic stress signs.With his physical and mental health deteriorating, his family brought him to Jagruti Rehab, one of India's premier Drug Rehabilitation Centers, for professional help.When admitted, Rohit was thoroughly examined, including:Substance Use Disorder (SUD): Moderate to SevereApproachJagruti Rehab took a biopsychosocial method, treating the biological, psychological, and social reasons behind Rohit's addiction. The treatment centred on gradual withdrawal gradually, mental stabilisation, and long-term coping skills.Phase 1 – Detoxification (Weeks 1-2):Phase 2 – Mental Health Stabilization (Weeks 3-4):Phase 3 – Behavioral Therapy and Community Support (Weeks 5-8):Phase 4—Relapse Prevention & Reintegration (Weeks 9-12):Rohit was prescribed low-dose SSRIs to treat underlying anxietyLiver-protecting supplements were givenRegular check-ups on physical progress were carried outWeek 1-2:Rohit had experienced mild withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, irritability, and insomnia. By the end of week 2, he had signs of physical stabilization and improved appetite.Weeks 3-4Emotional meltdowns in therapy sessions were frequent. By week 4, however, he began identifying triggers and was receptive to one-on-one sessions.Weeks 5-6:His cravings decreased to a great extent. His sleep patterns became regular, and he started showing interest in group interventions such as nature walks and art therapy.Week 7-8:Anxiety levels stayed in check. He started to lead some of the group sessions, reflecting growing confidence and communication skills.Weeks 9-12:Rohit started mentoring new patients. He also started preparing himself to go back to work, creating a relapse prevention plan and booking regular follow-ups with his therapist.At the completion of the 90-day rehabilitation program, Rohit had achieved the following incredible improvements:Abstinence from drug and alcohol useEnhanced physical health and regular sleep patternRestored emotional control and clearness in decision-makingIncreased enthusiasm towards leisure activities such as painting and yogaWhen discharged, he showed interest in participating in volunteer work for de-addiction awareness programs and joined Jagruti Rehab's alumni support group.Rohit's recovery had a domino effect on his family:His parents, who were first overwhelmed, became supporters of mental wellness and attended community sessions.Friends saw the change in him and welcomed him back with compassion and encouragement.Rohit vowed to take his younger cousins through the hazards of recreational drug use, determined to shatter the stigma surrounding rehab.Rohit's story is an inspiration to what can be accomplished through early intervention, professional care, and a structured rehabilitation program. With the compassionate care and holistic treatment provided by Jagruti Rehab, Rohit not only recovered — he was restored to reclaim his future.This Drug Rehabilitation Center Case Study throws into prominence the fact that addiction is not an endgame — with the right guidance, it can be a powerful new start. Apart from his individual change, Rohit's experience also illustrates the role of professional guidance in addressing the intricacies of addiction. The systematic 90-day process at Jagruti Rehab not only treated the physical side of withdrawal but also addressed the psychological and emotional underpinnings of drug dependence. This two-pronged approach enabled Rohit to regain his confidence, stabilize his relationships, and develop a healthy direction for his life.Additionally, his participation in group therapy and mentoring other patients demonstrated that recovery is not merely about personal healing—it's about creating a community of support. The program fostered accountability, empathy, and resilience, all of which were crucial in Rohit's long-term recovery. This Drug Rehabilitation Center Case Study is a strong reminder that, with the proper tools and professional assistance, anyone can break free from addiction and take back their life with purpose and dignity.
