00:09Was your life better before or is it better now?

00:11It's better now.

00:13Do you have cravings for injections?

00:14No, not at all.

00:15And if you do, what do you do?

00:16I don't have any.

00:17When you talk to them, you don't feel that they are mentally ill.

00:22They have come back to a healthy life.

00:26And all of this credit goes to Sumaira Bhatti Sahiba and her institution.

00:37Assalam-o-Alaikum, I have with me Sumaira Bhatti Sahiba,

00:40who is running an amazing institution called The New Life Rehab Center.

00:45It is the only institution in Islamabad for women,

00:50where all those women who are addicted to some addiction,

00:56they destroy their married life.

01:00They have a social gap with their children.

01:05In the last 10 years, women have come from all over the world,

01:09Europe, UK, USA, and all the developing countries.

01:16They treat them.

01:17She is also a clinical psychologist.

01:19There are three institutions in Islamabad.

01:21Two for males and one for females, where I am present.

01:27We will also interview the people present in this center.

01:30They are treated with complete secrecy.

01:34They are provided with outdoor outings.

01:37They are taken to parks.

01:39They are visited in Faisal Masjid.

01:41This is not a matter of 2-4 years, it is a story of half a century.

01:46We have interviewed them 4-5 times before this.

01:48Their feedback is amazing.

01:50What do we have today?

01:52Many people want to know,

01:54are there any such centers for women in a city like Islamabad?

01:58It is important to focus on females.

02:01You asked if there are such centers in Islamabad.

02:04Of course there are, but there are no such separate centers.

02:07We are already running big rehab centers,

02:10where we treat male and female adults.

02:13But we felt that there should be a separate institution for females,

02:18so that we can facilitate them properly.

02:20Our institution is registered with the Islamabad Health Regulatory Authority.

02:24All the facilities and treatments provided here are evidence-based.

02:30I would like to interview a patient.

02:36This is our patient's room.

02:38You have provided a home-like environment.

02:40We have tried our best to provide a home-like environment.

02:42The patient you see on your screen,

02:44his face has been blurred.

02:46His leg has been amputated.

02:48He used to apply injections to himself,

02:50to get relief,

02:52or to stay happy.

02:54You get relief temporarily,

02:56but when its effect wears off,

02:58then you get cravings.

03:00If you don't get that,

03:02in the form of addiction,

03:04intoxication, injection,

03:06then you become irritable,

03:08you get scared of people,

03:10you spoil your family environment.

03:12But this patient,

03:14you see,

03:16he has a state-of-the-art,

03:18air-conditioned room.

03:20He has a television set up.

03:22If he needs entertainment,

03:24if he wants to watch a drama,

03:26or a film,

03:28he can watch that.

03:30He has a home-like environment.

03:32He has a fridge,

03:34and an attached washroom.

03:36For his counselling,

03:38he has staff here.

03:40They take him for outings.

03:42When did he come here,

03:44and what is his condition now?

03:46He is almost one month old.

03:48He was very depressed,

03:50in pain,

03:52and had a lot of cravings for injections.

03:54How many injections did he take in a day?

03:56He took five injections in a day.

03:58When he takes injections,

04:00does he enjoy it?

04:02He feels euphoric,

04:04peaceful,

04:06and sleepy.

04:08There is a buzz.

04:10How many injections did he take in a day?

04:12The injections he takes now

04:14are approved by the FDA.

04:16They manage his cravings now.

04:18He doesn't need any injections.

04:20They stop the injections from the first day.

04:22They talk to you,

04:24and take you to him.

04:26How are you feeling now?

04:28I am fine, thank God.

04:30What do you get here?

04:32Do you want to tell your audience?

04:34The environment here is very good.

04:36You get everything to eat.

04:38They take you outside.

04:40There is a TV.

04:42You can watch dramas.

04:44Was your life better before,

04:46or is it better now?

04:48Do you have a craving for injections?

04:50No.

04:52What do you do if you do?

04:54I don't.

04:56Do you think he is mentally ill?

04:58He is back to a healthy life.

05:00I think all the credit

05:02goes to you.

05:08How long is the treatment

05:10for an addict?

05:12What are the criteria?

05:14The treatment

05:16is comprehensive.

05:18You take medication

05:20and psychotherapy.

05:22It lasts for 3 months.

05:246 months are required

05:26for him to go back to

05:28his normal life.

05:30Does it vary from patient to patient?

05:32Yes, it does.

05:34His will power and

05:36his problem

05:38and case are different.

05:40I share his daily routine

05:42with you.

05:44He takes medication in the morning.

05:46He has breakfast before the medication.

05:48Then he starts his classes.

05:50Individual sessions, group therapy,

05:52TV time, outdoor activities,

05:54games,

05:56walking,

05:58medication at night,

06:00TV time and then sleep.

06:02What are the drugs you are

06:05taking?

06:07I take all types of injections,

06:09recreational drugs, pills,

06:11any type of addiction.

06:13I have seen that

06:15the patient is better

06:17after the treatment.

06:19This is not the case.

06:21Just like other diseases,

06:23this is a drug addiction disease.

06:25There are chances of relapse.

06:27The good thing is that

06:29the relapse rate of a female

06:31is very low.

06:33This is a disease.

06:35You should come here and

06:37take care of your privacy.

06:39We can't breach your confidentiality.

06:41We will provide you a better environment.

06:43With this belief,

06:45you will come out of this

06:47and enjoy a new life.

06:51The way we entered,

06:53on the right side,

06:55there is a dedicated

06:57state-of-the-art room

06:59where there is a reception.

07:01This is the prairie area.

07:03This is their beautiful kitchen.

07:05It is like a home.

07:07A healthy diet is given

07:09according to the requirements

07:11of the patient.

07:13Their staff is so dedicated

07:15that they do counseling here.

07:17After that,

07:19they are taken out of the center

07:21and outdoor activities

07:23are done there.

07:25I think this is a great

07:27step for women

07:29There are two separate

07:31rehabilitation centers

07:33for males.

07:35These centers are approved

07:37by the Islamabad Health

07:39Regulatory Authority.

07:41I would recommend

07:43you to visit

07:45these centers

07:47if you have a friend,

07:49relative, brother

07:51or a distant friend.
