About Us

Approachable & Dedicated

CARE is one of the Pioneers of alcohol and substance abuse rehabilitation. Started in 1998, we proudly say we were the first institution to be registered under the Mental Health Act. The year 2022 saw us recognized under the Karnataka Private Medical Establishment (KPME) Act. We are also recognized by the Karnataka State Mental Health Authority. As an organization, we are always trying to find new ways to help our clients. Through the experience of years and the continued thirst to better ourselves we strive.

Our team of professionals includes addiction counselors who themselves have been through the misery and dilemma of the disease of addiction, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals who are dedicated to helping you achieve lasting recovery and wellness.

Our premises, though in the heart of the city, is surrounded by greenery and it’s tranquil. Located right behind the Royal Meenakshi Mall, easily accessible by public transport (Soon by Metro too).

Our late founder Mr C Ramachandra's Message:

“There is no hopeless case, anyone can recover if they are given motivation along with medical and emotional support. Change is inevitable and we need to change according to the times in the way we treat our clients. We need to be approachable to our clients. We have to provide treatment to all clients irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, race or socio-economic status.”
