Punarjjany is a holistic, residential de-addiction and rehabilitation centre — built on Kerala's Ayurvedic tradition, and carried forward as a family's life work since 2004.
Confidential support, available 24 / 7 — for yourself or someone you love.
Punarjjany was founded in 2004 by the late Dr. Johns K. Mangalam, PhD, as a medication-free, holistic sanctuary for recovery — built on the belief that healing addiction takes more than treatment. It takes dignity, patience, and time.
Over two decades, that approach has helped more than 20,000 families through the difficult, hopeful work of recovery — rooted in Kerala's Ayurvedic tradition alongside structured counselling and community care.
A few things families tell us they notice first.
No heavy sedatives or restrictive confinement. We focus on dignity, self-reflection, and steady daily structure.
Family members can stay on campus and take part in counselling — because recovery is rarely a solo journey.
Traditional therapies such as Dhara and herbal treatments support the body's natural detoxification and calm.
Residents live, eat, and heal together in a supportive environment designed around belonging, not isolation.
Recorded classes by our late founder, Dr. Johns K. Mangalam, offer continued emotional and practical wisdom.
Our relationship with residents and families doesn't end after 21 days — we stay reachable for follow-up.
Recovery, to us, isn't simply about stopping alcohol use — it's about healing the body, mind, relationships, and daily habits that sustain addiction.
Traditional therapies and herbal treatments to cleanse the body and calm the nervous system.
Individual counselling to understand and address the roots of addiction.
Sessions that help families heal communication and rebuild trust together.
A steady rhythm of activity, rest, and reflection that supports lasting change.
Shared living, group activities, and mutual support among residents.
A typical day at Punarjjany moves between traditional Ayurvedic treatment, counselling, and quiet outdoor spaces.

"One of the best de-addiction centers in Kerala. The non-medicinal, psychological, and Ayurvedic approach makes it unique. The peaceful atmosphere near Poomala Dam is perfect for healing. It saved my brother's life."
"Punarjjany treats addiction as a family disease. Their family counseling sessions and the involvement of family members in the 21-day residential stay are excellent. It helped us understand recovery and restored peace."
"Unlike other centers that use heavy sedatives or lock patients in rooms, Punarjjany treats everyone with absolute dignity and respect. The natural setting, yoga, and daily routine helped me regain my self-worth."
"The late founder Dr. Johns K. Mangalam's video lectures and classes are highly inspiring. They provide deep emotional wisdom and motivation. The center's community living model makes recovery feel natural."
"The Ayurvedic detoxification therapies and nature walks in the quiet hills of Poomala completely refreshed my body and mind. The food is nutritious, and the staff are incredibly compassionate."
"Punarjjany is not just a rehabilitation center; it's a sanctuary of hope. Their focus on long-term relapse prevention and continuous community support after discharge ensures sustainable sobriety."

Ayurvedic therapies, including Dhara and herbal treatments, are used alongside counselling to support the body's natural detoxification and promote calm. They're one part of a broader, medication-free programme, not a replacement for psychological care.
