Dr. Prabhakar Kore recently led the inauguration of Parivartan Rehabilitation Unit at KLE Centenary Charitable Hospital. Located in Belagavi, this specialized center marks a major milestone for regional healthcare.
The Department of Psychiatry earned high praise for establishing this dedicated facility. Consequently, the center will help individuals overcome addiction and reintegrate into society with dignity.
A Holistic Path to Recovery
At ‘Parivartan’, clinicians recognize addiction as a treatable medical condition rather than a moral failure. Therefore, the unit offers a structured 30-day residential programme.
The facility provides comprehensive care through several targeted interventions:
-
Medical Detoxification: Patients receive safe medical detoxification alongside expert psychiatric care.
-
Psychotherapy: The team delivers evidence-based psychotherapy tailored to individual recovery needs.
-
Holistic Wellness: Daily schedules integrate yoga, meditation, and structured recreational therapy.
-
Family Support: Counselors provide vital family counseling to rebuild essential support networks.
-
Continuous Care: The unit ensures round-the-clock nursing care and serves nutritious meals.
Community Impact and Leadership Alignment
During the event, Shri Narayan Baramani, DCP of Belagavi City, addressed the audience. He emphasized the urgent need to tackle substance abuse collectively. Furthermore, he noted that addiction causes severe psychological, social, and financial hardships for local families.
Dr. Prabhakar Kore commended the leadership team for bringing this vital initiative to fruition. Specifically, he appreciated Mr. Navin N. (COO) and Dr. Sanjay Kambar (Medical Superintendent). He also praised the entire Department of Psychiatry team for their dedication.
Several prominent institutional leaders attended the landmark event. The guest list included Dr. H.B. Rajashekhar, Director of USM KLE, and Dr. Antonio Carvalho, Head of Psychiatry. Faculty members, hospital staff, and nursing students also attended the launch to pledge their support.
Ultimately, this new center represents a collective step toward a healthier, more compassionate, and addiction-free society.
