00:00It's a very good environment here, everything is available to eat.
00:04They take you outside as well.
00:06There's a TV, you can watch dramas.
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.
