The DAIRRC Luxury Rehab program, is a voluntary program that believes in 'total abstinence'. The rehabilitation program is based on the principles of Narcotics Anonymous and self help.
DAIRRC believes that follow up treatment is a must. Rehabilitation lasts from six to twelve months, depending on the prognosis of the patient and intensity of drug abuse. Substance abusers / Chemical dependants approaching the centre for treatment are Polydrug abusers, including Marijuana and party drugs (35%) Alcohol (30%), Heroin (20%), Prescribed Medication abuse (9%), and others including Cocaine, Solvents etc (6%).
At the DAIRRC Community Living program, parental participation is an essential part of the recovery process, as it ensures a better prognosis and recovery. Because DAIRRC deals only with a maximum of 30 addicts at a time, the program is highly personalised and has a success rate of 85%. Success rate being defined by the following three criteria:-
- No intake of any mood or mind altering substance for more than 4 years
- No further interaction of the addict with law enforcement agencies.
- Gainful employment.
DAIRRC has participated in the recovery of Heroin dependants of over 14 years of 'main lining', and therefore believes that any addict can give up.

Any addict can give up , provided that she/he wants to, prays to a God of his/her own understanding and follows the DAIRRC principles of recovery for life.
The rehabilitation through community living program is a holistic one and helps the Chemically dependant / addict to better all four planes of himself / herself, i.e. physical, mental, social and spiritual.
DAIRRC sees Chemical dependancy ( Drug Addiction) as a behavioural disorder, and encourages the addicts to bring about a positive change in their personality.
DAIRRC FEELS IT IS IMPORTANT TO PRAY TO A GOD OF YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING FOR ENSURING A SOBER AND JOYOUS LIFE.
DAIRRC believes that addicts have to change their world view and learn to cope with reality. The program ensures a change in the addicts' threshold to cope with boredom and stress.
Addicts do not need to come to DAIRRC to stop taking drugs, they can stop on their own.
They need The DAIRRC Rehabilitation through Community Living Program to ensure that they STAY STOPPED.
The central character in the recovery process is the addict herself / himself.
