Detox treatments, meditation, and Ayurvedic herbs all worked together to help me relax and cleanse my body. I felt comfortable and supported because of the serene setting and the kind staff. I suggest Kairali’s all-encompassing method of addiction treatment to anyone looking for genuine recovery.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find out whether this programme is right for me?
Not sure where to start? Speak with Priya or our sales team, share your details for physician review, or request a free consultation by video call, phone or email—whichever is convenient. After you submit your request, a coordinator will contact you to arrange the consultation.
Do you accept patients undergoing alcohol or drug withdrawal?
Yes. Patients undergoing withdrawal are also accepted, and withdrawal is managed on-site. Please discuss your individual admission needs with the hospital team. If you are dependent on alcohol, do not stop drinking suddenly before admission without medical advice, and seek emergency care for severe withdrawal symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations or seizures.
What happens if a patient undergoing withdrawal requires a higher level of medical care?
Withdrawal is managed under medical supervision at Kairali. If a patient's condition requires emergency treatment, specialist assessment, investigations, or intensive care beyond the level available at the facility, the Treating Physician/RMO will assess the situation and arrange referral or hospital transfer as clinically appropriate. Emergency and intensive-care cases may be referred to Thankam Hospital, Palakkad, while investigations or examinations may be arranged at Pulse Doctors and Labs, Palakkad, as required. Transport and appropriate accompaniment are arranged by the Front Office team, with clinical escort where necessary. Patients and companions are informed that additional ambulance, escort, hospital and treatment charges may apply.
Can I continue my prescribed medicines?
Do not stop or change prescribed medicines on your own. Share a complete list of medicines and supplements with your treating clinicians and discuss any proposed Ayurvedic medicines with them.
What should I discuss with the physician before treatment?
Your consultation is an opportunity to understand the proposed treatment, its expected benefits, possible side effects and available alternatives. Share any concerns with your physician and keep the care team informed about how you feel during treatment.
What results can I realistically expect, and how long should I stay?
Treatment goals and the recommended duration of admission depend on your condition and the physician’s assessment. Your physician will discuss expected progress and review your response during treatment. Individual outcomes vary.
Can a companion stay with me?
Companion stays are considered case by case. Share your accommodation and assistance needs before admission so the team can confirm availability, arrangements and applicable charges.
What follow-up is included after discharge?
Your care includes four remote follow-up consultations with your treating physician within one year after discharge. Please schedule each appointment with your doctor; consultation dates are not fixed when you leave.
Do I need to submit medical reports before admission?
Pre-admission medical reports and physician clearance are required only for severe conditions, on a case-by-case basis. The team will confirm whether they are needed for your admission.
What support is available if I need help getting around or with daily activities?
Routine assistance, such as help walking or travelling by wheelchair between your room and the treatment centre, is available without requiring a dedicated attendant. If you need dedicated nursing or attendant support, this can be arranged at an additional cost based on the level of assistance required. Please share your needs before admission so the team can confirm suitable arrangements and charges.
