In the conventional management of addicts, the main emphasis has been given to alleviate drug dependence principally through abstinence. The use of sedatives and painkillers are the mainstay of treatment for the withdrawal symptoms. But it is not sufficient to develop essential support system for the sufferers. Mental isolation associated with stress and strain make the system of the sufferer more tensed and 'close type'.

But system approach of life believes that human-system is basically 'open type' and for it's very survival it needs relaxation, interaction and exchange with the surrounding environment.

So to develop the essential support system, integration of acupuncture-yoga-naturopathy-diet with the support of modern medicine and psychological counseling are important for the better recovery.

The whole programme is aimed to put stress on Pro-Nature Therapies and integrating it with Conventional Therapy as and when necessary.

As R& D Institute it is our experience that Pro-Nature Therapy and Integrated Management is better effective than the conventional one.

In 80% cases, the Integrated Management successfully controlled the symptoms.
Only in 20% cases, the result was not satisfactory. It was observed that Integrated therapeutic management benefited the addicts to rejuvenate body's own defense mechanism which shows more effective for relieving symptoms without side-effect than conventional treatment and can minimize frequency of relapse also.
