Niramay, offers a treatment program for persons suffering from substance use disorder.

March was marvellous at Niramay De-Addiction Centre a month filled with celebrations, connection, and meaningful learning.

Our Holi celebrations looked like the first image, colours on paper, and even more in our hearts.
Around Holi, the centre was also buzzing with energy through a series of indoor games and creative engagements, carrom, chess, and table tennis tournaments, along with a singing competition, extempore, and picture composition activities. The enthusiasm and wholehearted participation from our clients kept creativity flowing and spirits uplifted. It was heartening to see how these simple yet engaging activities created space for connection, and joy.

A vibrant cooking competition on the occasion of Gudi Padwa brought together colourful plates and even more colourful spirits, as our residential clients and staff teams came together to create some truly delightful snacks.

We also hosted a special Applied Theatre session, “New Day, New Beginning,” facilitated by Vaishali Goswami and Trupti Timbe. It was an enriching experience where our residential clients opened up beautifully and took away meaningful reflections.

On International Women's Day, we held a heartfelt conversation with our female faculty, exploring their journeys, the choices that brought them into this field, and how they continue to find calm amidst the chaos, along with their learnings along the way.

Our outreach program at construction sites in Pune is in full swing, with our team showing up with preparedness and intent. It’s encouraging to see participants engaging with interest, gaining awareness about the disease, and exploring what support could look like for them.

Our Arts-Based Therapy sessions continued to focus on drama, stories, and embodiment, simple yet deeply impactful, with sincere participation from our clients leading to meaningful shifts.

We also witnessed a houseful Sahchari meeting, our support space for female family members of residential clients. Going beyond a typical support group, the session was interactive and reflective, engaging with themes of helplessness, awareness, and shared strength.

March reminded us, once again, that healing is not a single moment, but a series of shared experiences, small wins, and steady steps forward.

At Niramay, along with therapy sessions and structured programs recovery is also about reclaiming joy, focus, and healthy connection.

Amidst our dedicated, fast-paced, and on-the-toes daily schedule, our indoor games room becomes a space of balance and bonding. Whether it’s a thoughtful game of chess, a competitive round of carrom, an energetic match of table tennis, or a lively game of Ludo, our residents participate with remarkable dedication and enthusiasm.

These games are not “time-pass.”
They are therapy in motion.

•Chess sharpens concentration, patience, and decision-making.
•Table tennis builds reflexes, physical agility, and healthy release of energy.
•Carrom and Ludo encourage social interaction, teamwork, and light-hearted competition.

In recovery, structure is essential, but so is recreation.
Learning to enjoy simple, substance-free moments is a powerful milestone. It rebuilds confidence, improves cognitive skills, reduces stress, and most importantly, reminds our residents that joy is still accessible, naturally.

At Niramay De-Addiction Centre we believe healing is holistic.
Work and play. Discipline and delight. Effort and ease.

And sometimes, recovery begins with a striker hitting the queen, a checkmate on the board, or laughter echoing around a Ludo square.

January at Niramay was a month of depth, commitment, and quiet victories.

Our residential clients engaged meaningfully with the program throughout the month, showing up every day for the work that recovery asks of them. There were also moments of celebration that reminded us why this journey matters so deeply to us. One of our clients completed three years of sobriety, while another marked the successful completion of a two-month program, having initially planned to stay for just a month. Each milestone, big or small, holds immense value for us at Niramay.

Creativity played a powerful role this month. Preparations for the 26th January programme stood out, clients took full ownership, striving to make it their best, exploring every musical possibility available to them. The day was further enriched by student interns from Fergusson College, who presented a thoughtful dance-drama. Alongside this, our arts-based therapy sessions, rooted in movement, drama, storytelling and voice work, created spaces for expression, reflection, and release.

As always, our faculty continued their engagement with families through the monthly group family meeting, strengthening trust, dialogue, and shared understanding.

Taken together, January was not just busy, it was meaningful. It reaffirmed our belief in the work we do and the people we do it with, every single day, at Niramay De-Addiction Centre

We stepped into the New Year with warmth, creativity, and togetherness at Niramay De-Addiction Centre

The evening featured a powerful, full of entertainment, and engaging dramatic reading of the Marathi play “पाळी चुकली”,
Written by: Dhananjay Sardeshpande
Directed by: Suyash Zunjurke

Presented by:
Shardul Nimbalkar, Trupti Timbe, Hrishikesh Mhatre, Lakshman Thakur, Akshay Kulkarni, Reva Ghule, Asmi Deokule, Atharv Bardade
and we are grateful to this team of "व्यक्ति पुणे" for adding charm to our evening.

The celebration continued with an entertaining programme by our residential clients and staff, gathered around the bonfire and rice lights, filled with laughter, participation, and shared moments of joy.

Welcoming the new year in this spirit of expression, connection, and hope was truly special. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.

30/12/2025

This Christmas at Niramay De-Addiction Centre was a celebration of hope, togetherness, and renewal.

Our residential clients presented a thoughtfully enacted play inspired by a real-life incident, where many years ago friends stranded during a trek, guided to safety by an unexpected act of help. Woven with Christmas carols, the performance beautifully reflected the spirit of the season: hope, service, kindness, and faith in one another.
We were also grateful to host our annual ex-patients’ meet, where former residents and family members shared their journeys, reinforcing the strength of recovery and community.
The celebration extended beyond the stage. The residential clients and staff came together to organise chaat and pani puri stalls, fun games, and lively moments of shared laughter.

With joyful Bollywood songs sung together by our clients and staff, warm conversations, and genuine smiles all around, the day reminded us that healing grows stronger when we celebrate life together.

We distributed gifts to all our clients and announced the results of various competitions and tournaments held at the centre over the past fifteen days, adding to the festive spirit.
We are grateful for every bit of it.

What an Internship at a De-Addiction Centre Offers?

An internship at a de-addiction centre is primarily a learning and exposure-based experience, where growth happens more through observation, reflection, and guided understanding than hands-on work.

What an intern should expect:

Learning through observation: Interns get an opportunity to observe counselling sessions, group processes, routines, and recovery frameworks to understand how treatment works in real settings.

Structured supervision: Learning is supported through discussions, case reflections, and clarification with supervisors rather than independent intervention.

Ethical boundaries: Direct client work is limited. Interns are not expected to counsel, advise, or intervene beyond their training.

Process over performance: The focus is on understanding human behaviour, recovery journeys, and professional conduct along with productivity or output.

Emotional awareness: Interns may witness difficult emotions, relapses, and recovery struggles, which become important learning moments.

Self-reflection: Interns are encouraged to reflect on their own responses, biases, and learnings as part of professional growth.

Respect for recovery: Interns learn the importance of patience, confidentiality, non-judgment, and consistency in a recovery environment.

An internship at a de-addiction centre is about learning how the work is done, not doing the work itself, building insight, sensitivity, and professional grounding that prepares interns for future clinical or field roles.

At Niramay De-Addiction Centre, our clients took on a fun and insightful challenge, building the tallest tower using limited resources.

What emerged was more than a structure:
•Teamwork & communication
•Patience & emotional regulation
•Problem-solving under pressure
•Trust & shared responsibility

Beyond the activity, if you look at it the learnings were profound, for clients and therapists:
•Observing natural leadership and support patterns
•Understanding how individuals navigate conflicts
•Recognizing strengths that often go unnoticed
•Identifying areas where guidance or motivation helps

16/11/2025

At Niramay De-Addiction Centre, we believe that understanding the nature of addiction becomes easier, and far more meaningful, when it’s done together.

Through group activities, small-group brainstorming, and creating simple presentations, our clients break down complex psychoeducational topics into something they can truly grasp.

Whether it’s learning about the disease of addiction, exploring triggers, or understanding recovery tools, working in teams helps them simplify concepts, ask questions freely, and support one another.

Because when knowledge is shared, processed, and understood collectively, it becomes a powerful part of the healing journey.

08/11/2025

In our group sessions at Niramay De-Addiction Centre we often use the techniques that are best suited for the groups, sometimes simple yet powerful ways where everyone gets a turn to speak, listen, and be heard.

Each submission of thought in a group work moves around the circle, one after another, no interruptions, no judgments, just honest words. For many, it’s the first time they’ve shared openly about their fears, hopes, or gratitude.

This gentle approach helps build trust, empathy, and a sense of belonging. Over time, it transforms the room, from a space of silence to one of connection and healing.

24/10/2025

This year’s Diwali at our Niramay De-Addiction Centre was all heart, serene yet vibrant, filled with laughter, colours, and togetherness. Our residential clients, their families, ex-clients, and well-wishers came together to celebrate not just the festival of lights, but the light within.

There were meaningful conversations, songs, happy faces, and fun snacks shared around, every moment glowing with warmth and hope.

It was truly a win-win Diwali, of joy, sobriety, and connection. 💛

Here are the glimpses of our cherished celebration, and of the effort and heart that went into creating this beautiful Diwali evening. ✨
Hope you had a vibrant diwali too 🙏🏼

17/10/2025

Diwali prep is in full swing at Niramay De-Addiction Centre!
Our residential clients created pretty paper lamps in a session facilitated by our dear Dhananjay Sir, and watching everyone come together in the spirit of the festival was truly heartening.

We hope each of them celebrates many more Diwalis, sober, joyful, and reunited with their families.

World Mental Health Day at Niramay De-Addiction Centre

To mark World Mental Health Day, our residential clients participated in a powerful and engaging session conducted by the team from Schizophrenia Awareness Association - Saa (SAA), Pune.

The session was filled with:

•Insightful conversations

•Interactive activities

•Thoughtful sharing and awareness-building

It created a safe space for clients to reflect, express, and understand mental health with openness and dignity.

We are grateful to Sarika Chandak ji, Aarti Pandit ji, Shubharthi ji, and the rest of the SAA team for their time, sensitivity, and meaningful engagement.
