Location and admissions guides / Delhi NCR
Bring the family conversation together
Choosing residential care can involve several people, different work schedules and a lot of unanswered questions. If you are exploring rehabilitation from Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad or Ghaziabad, this guide helps you organise the conversation and the practical next steps.
Thamarai Healing Center provides residential treatment at its centre in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. This is an admissions guide for families from Delhi NCR, rather than a local branch. You can begin with a conversation before deciding whether travelling for care is the right option.
Start with the support your family is looking for
An initial enquiry can begin with what has changed: alcohol or drug use, difficulties managing everyday responsibilities, concerns about mental health, or an earlier treatment experience. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or choose a programme yourself. Explain the situation and ask how assessment and suitability are considered.
Read about alcohol addiction care, drug addiction care and dual diagnosis treatment to prepare questions. Share existing diagnoses, prescriptions and recent treatment with the admissions team so that the next conversation is informed.
Bring the NCR family conversation together
A parent in Delhi, a partner in Gurugram and a sibling in Noida may each see a different part of the situation. Before the first call, agree on the main concerns and nominate a contact person. That can make information easier to organise and reduce repeated conversations at an already difficult time.
Include the person seeking care in decisions wherever possible. Write down their priorities as well as the family’s: privacy, time away from work, contact with children, previous care and what would help them feel ready. Ask how consent, family involvement and updates are handled.
Plan the journey from Delhi NCR to Pollachi
For air travel, Delhi airport (DEL) is a departure option to research, with Coimbatore International Airport (CJB) the gateway for onward travel to Pollachi. Check the airline’s current itinerary, connections, baggage rules and arrival time for your intended date. The journey also needs a separately planned road leg from Coimbatore to the centre.
Allow for your own journey to the departure terminal from Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad or Ghaziabad when comparing itineraries. Confirm the admission arrangements and arrival window with Thamarai before booking. If there are concerns about travelling safely, discuss them with the treating clinician and admissions team first.
Settle practical arrangements before leaving home
Residential care affects the household as well as the person travelling. Consider leave from work, care for children or older relatives, essential payments and who will manage day-to-day responsibilities. A written plan lets the person entering care focus on the next step without trying to settle every detail on the journey.
Ask for the current treatment cost, what is included, and how any additional expenses are explained. Discuss programme duration as an individual planning question. Request the documents and packing guidance needed for the agreed admission.
Keep family involvement workable across the distance
Families do not all have the same availability. One relative may accompany the journey while another remains in NCR to manage home or work. Tell the team who is involved and ask which conversations require the family’s participation, how these are arranged and whom to contact with practical questions.
If you hope to visit, arrange an appointment before making travel plans. An accompanying relative should also clarify their own accommodation and return journey. Exploring the facilities and daily routine can help the family prepare useful questions together.
Prepare for life back in Delhi NCR
Returning home brings familiar relationships, commutes and responsibilities back into view. During care, ask how discharge planning will address those routines and what follow-up is recommended. If there is an existing psychiatrist, therapist or other clinician in NCR, discuss how relevant information can be shared with consent.
Use the relapse prevention programme page to start a conversation about ongoing support. Agree on practical responsibilities at home, the next clinical appointment and whom to contact when questions arise.
Questions from Delhi NCR families
Can I enquire if I live in Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad or Ghaziabad?
Yes. Families across Delhi NCR can contact the admissions team to discuss suitability and practical arrangements for residential care in Pollachi.
Can I speak to Thamarai on behalf of a relative?
Yes. Explain your relationship, the concerns prompting the enquiry and any current treatment. The team can explain the next steps and how the person seeking care can participate.
Does an enquiry confirm admission?
