History:
Alcoholism is a major social disease affecting many countries of the
world including India. It is very rampant in Kolkata. The 45 percent of habitants
of Kolkata are suffering from alcohol and other drugs related disease.
Alcoholism is preset among the adult population while most teenagers are
addicted to drugs rather than alcohol. St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation Centre for the
treatment of Drugs and Alcohol related problems was founded by John P. a
teacher by profession. He was an alcoholic. He abused alcohol for nine years
and by that time he had done enough damage to himself and to others. Soon he
realized that something had to be done as a sign of gratitude for his own recovery
and as an answer to the rampant and monumental menaces of alcoholism and drug
addiction. St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation Centre thus came into existence.
Vision:
A community that affirms the dignity and self-worth of chemically
dependent persons, and ensures their holistic empowerment.
Mission:
To befriend, counsel, motivate and rehabilitate chemically dependent
persons as one who can be restored to the community as a contributing
responsible individual.
To sensitize the community people against drug trafficking.
To create awareness through non formal education and job skill training.
To address the issues of HIV/AIDS in the context of I.D.Us
