Good Health Advocate (Saathiya)
This initiative promotes ordinary people with extraordinary commitment to advocate for health and wellness. Saathiya acts as a platform to share recovery hopes and raise concerns about health commercialization.
Through workshops, we train caregivers on managing co-occurring medical conditions (such as diabetes, hypertension, and alcoholic liver disease) that complicate substance use recovery.
W-LIFE (Women's Leadership Institute for Family Empowerment)
A multi-facility project designed to empower women facing crises due to NCDs, family substance abuse, domestic violence, poverty, or emotional trauma.
Our outpatient (OPD) setup in Delhi offers ear acupuncture (Acudetox), counseling, rehabilitation referrals, family therapy, and vocational services to support women on their journey to independence and stability.
Substance Abuse Interventions
Stigma and discrimination often prevent drug users and those living with mental illnesses or HIV from seeking help. Nada India utilizes innovative, barrier-free methods to address substance abuse.
Building upon standard 12-step programs and harm reduction models, NIF integrates peer-based guidance, self-help groups (AA, NA), and NADA ear acupuncture to ease recovery and help children, youth, and families thrive.
