Why families choose to travel to Pollachi
When treatment close to home hasn't held, a residential stay somewhere quieter is often the next step. Pollachi, at the foothills of the Western Ghats, gives that distance without being remote: it's about an hour from Coimbatore airport and within a day's drive of most of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Families choose Thamarai for different reasons — the coordinated clinical approach, the privacy of a small centre, or the chance for their relative to step away from familiar triggers. This page brings together information for patients travelling from different cities, so you can find the details that apply to you.
Private residential rehabilitation in Pollachi
Thamarai is a small, luxury residential centre. We keep a 1:2 staff-to-client ratio — one member of staff for every two clients — so treatment is personal rather than processed, and every client is known by name to the whole team.
Privacy is built into how we work: discreet admissions, private suites, a small resident community, and strict confidentiality practices around your records and your stay. For many families travelling from South India, discretion matters as much as the treatment itself.
Residential programs cost ₹2.5 lakh to ₹6 lakh per month, depending on the suite and the level of medical and psychiatric care involved. See the cost of treatment for what's included, or ask admissions for a personalised estimate.

Discuss admissions from your cityOne centre, one clinical team

De-addiction and mental health care at our Pollachi centre
Every patient, wherever they travel from, receives one coordinated plan — from medical detox to relapse prevention.

Alcohol addiction treatment
Assessment, supervised withdrawal where needed, and therapy that addresses why drinking became the coping strategy.
Drug addiction treatment
Care for cannabis, opioid, stimulant and prescription-medication dependence, planned around the specific substance.
Dual diagnosis treatment
Psychiatric care for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other conditions that often sit alongside addiction.
Tobacco addiction treatment
Support for nicotine dependence, on its own or as part of a wider plan.
Relapse prevention program
Skills and a written plan for staying well after discharge, built around life back home.

What residential treatment can — and can't — promise
No program can guarantee an outcome. Addiction is a chronic condition that can relapse, much like other long-term illnesses, and recovery usually involves ongoing effort after discharge. What good treatment can do is make withdrawal safe, address co-occurring mental health problems, and teach practical skills for staying well.
Our approach draws on guidance from bodies such as the US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), NICE and the WHO: medically supervised detox where needed, evidence-based talking therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational enhancement therapy, family involvement, and a clear aftercare and relapse-prevention plan. See our schools of therapy. Holistic therapies are offered as supportive care alongside — not instead of — that clinical core.
