Online psychiatry and de-addiction consultation for Punjab
Substance use — especially opioids such as heroin ('chitta') — is a widely discussed concern in Punjab. Many families want discreet, medical help rather than force or unregulated centres.
Consultations are in Hindi or English (not Punjabi), by video from Ajmer. Opioid substitution therapy itself is provided at licensed local centres; we help with assessment, planning and follow-up.

Frequently asked questions
Do you run a rehab centre in Punjab?
No. We offer online psychiatric consultation only. If admission is needed, we advise choosing a licensed facility that does not use force or punishment.
Can a psychiatrist in Rajasthan treat me online in another state?
Yes. Under India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines (2020), a registered medical practitioner can consult patients anywhere in India by video. Some situations still need in-person care, and you will be told if that applies.
What if it is an emergency?
Online consultation is not for emergencies. Call 112 or go to the nearest hospital; Tele-MANAS (14416) is available 24×7.
