Who comes to Punarjjany

For the person who wants to stop, and the family who wants them back.

People come to us when a dependence has begun to hurt their health, their work or their home. They come by choice, and they bring someone who loves them.

  • Mild to moderate dependence. Admission follows a suitability assessment and medical clearance.
  • Voluntary admission only. There are no locks and no forced stays. People heal faster when they are treated with dignity.
  • Honest about our limits. Anyone who needs hospital-level care is referred to our partner hospitals.

Six things families notice first

Your family stays with you

A spouse or parent lives on campus for all 21 days and joins the counselling, so the whole family learns to heal together.

Professional guidance

Medical practitioners, a psychiatrist and psychologists are engaged through consultations and scheduled visits, according to each person's needs. Medicine is given only when a doctor advises it.

Kerala's Ayurvedic care

Shirodhara, Abhyangam, Nasyam and Uzhichil calm the body and the nervous system, alongside daily yoga and pranayama.

Counselling that goes deeper

One-to-one sessions look at what lies underneath: stress, loss, habits and triggers. Each person leaves with a written plan.

A shared kitchen

Residents and families cook and eat together. Some of the most honest conversations happen over a chopping board.

Support for twelve months

Going home is the start. We stay in touch with residents and families for a year after the programme ends.

The 21 days

One step, then the next

The programme treats body, mind and family together. Here is how the stay unfolds.

On arrival

A careful assessment

A suitability assessment and medical clearance come first. Then a plan is agreed with you and your family.

Every morning

Rest for the body

Yoga, pranayama and Ayurvedic therapies, good food and steady sleep, with professional guidance as needed.

Through the stay

Work on the mind and the home

Individual counselling, group classes and family sessions rebuild understanding and trust.

Before you leave

A plan for life at home

You leave with a personal recovery plan that names your triggers and the tools you have practised.

And afterwards: twelve months of follow-up support for you and your family.

Dr. Johns K. Mangalam, founder of Punarjjany
Our story

Built by a man who had walked this road himself

Dr. Johns K. Mangalam founded Punarjjany in 2004 after his own recovery. He believed that dependence is a family illness and never a moral failing, and that people recover best in a community that treats them with dignity.

He passed away in 2020. His son now leads the work, and his recorded classes are still part of every resident's evening.

Questions families ask

Before you call

Can a family member really stay for the whole programme?

Yes. A spouse or parent stays on campus for all 21 days, in separate dormitories for men and women, and takes part in family counselling. Their stay and meals are part of the fee.

Will our enquiry and stay be kept private?

Yes. Every conversation, admission and stay at Punarjjany is treated as strictly confidential.

Is medicine used during the stay?

Medical practitioners and a psychiatrist are engaged through consultations and scheduled visits, according to each person's needs. Medicine is given only when a doctor advises it. Punarjjany has no ICU and does not provide emergency or inpatient hospital care; anyone who needs that is referred to an appropriately equipped hospital.

Is the campus locked, like a hospital ward?

No. Admission is voluntary and there are no locks. Residents and their family members live, cook and take part in the day together.

Do you accept people from outside Kerala?

Yes. Families come to us from across Kerala and from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Call or message us to talk through travel and admission.

Talk to us before you decide anything.

Every family's situation is different. Call or message us for a private conversation about admission and what the 21 days involve. There is no pressure and no obligation.
