Cannabis addiction Treatment in ZorbaCare
About the clinic

Dr. Siddharth Jhaveri leads the clinical strategy with over 15 years of experience in addiction recovery and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Recovery pathway and diagnostics
The treatment process begins with a detailed evaluation to understand the patient's physical and mental health. This helps the medical team identify if other conditions like anxiety or depression are present alongside the addiction.
- Initial psychiatric assessment. A clinical review of the patient's mental state and addiction history.
- Substance use evaluation. A study of the frequency and duration of cannabis use.
- Dual diagnosis screening. Testing for co-occurring mental health conditions that may drive dependency.
Treatment options and methods
The clinic uses a three-phase recovery model. It starts with a medical detox lasting 7 to 21 days to help the body clear substances. Patients then move into active residential rehabilitation for 30 to 90 days. The final phase includes aftercare support for over 12 months to prevent relapse.
- Three-phase residential rehabilitation. This includes CBT, schema therapy, and individual counseling to change behavior patterns.
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). A non-invasive brain stimulation method used for patients who do not respond to standard therapies.
- Family therapy. Sessions designed to help family members understand the recovery process and support the patient.
- Holistic care. Yoga and wellness activities are integrated into the daily schedule at the luxury estate.
Clinical expertise and environment

ZorbaCare: more details about the clinic
ZorbaCare Rehabilitation & Mental Health Centre is a private residential facility in Pune, India. Established in 2010, the center operates as a voluntary treatment estate near Mumbai. It focuses on psychiatrist-led care for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. All programs run in a luxury estate setting that emphasizes confidentiality and dignity.
Key Facts and Safety Standards
ZorbaCare holds ISO 9001 accreditation, reflecting international quality management standards. The center employs seven doctors and specialized medical support staff. Families across India have shared more than 250 five-star reviews about their treatment experiences.
The clinical model is strictly voluntary and follows a "never a lock-up" policy. This approach helps maintain patient trust from day one. Consultant psychiatrists oversee every recovery plan to ensure clinical structure and safety. The facility provides 24/7 support within its residential model. Discreet admissions and private rooms are standard for all patients.
Specialties and Recovery Pathways
The center manages the full recovery journey through a flagship three-phase clinical pathway. This integrated approach addresses both substance dependency and mental health conditions under one roof:
- Medical detox and stabilization: Typically 7–21 days to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
- Active rehabilitation: A 30–90 day phase focused on intensive therapeutic work and behavioral change.
- Structured aftercare: At least 12 months of support to help patients reintegrate into daily life.
For patients with dual diagnosis, the team combines addiction and mental health treatment into a single plan. This is essential when addiction overlaps with anxiety, depression, or trauma. Dr. Sayantani Mukherjee and Dr. Sonia Malhotra lead these interventions. They bring 16 and 10 years of experience respectively. Dr. Siddharth Jhaveri, a specialist in chemical dependency, contributes over 20 years of expertise.
Psychotherapy services use evidence-based talk therapies to address the root causes of addiction. These methods help patients identify triggers and build healthy coping skills. The therapeutic curriculum includes:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Schema therapy
- Individual and group counseling
- Family therapy sessions to rebuild trust
- Yoga and holistic care for physical wellness
Aftercare services help prevent relapse during the first vulnerable year after discharge. Patients receive regular clinical check-ins and relapse-prevention planning. They also gain access to an alumni support network. The center offers private sober companions and family programs to strengthen recovery at home.
Technology and Diagnostics
ZorbaCare uses Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as an advanced treatment option. This non-invasive technology uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It often helps patients who haven't responded to standard medication or therapy. The center also uses ABA therapy for specific behavioral health needs.
Diagnostic services include thorough examinations for alcohol and drug abuse. These assessments create personalized treatment plans. Specialists perform detailed evaluations for schizophrenia and other complex mental health conditions. This ensures every patient receives a plan tailored to their specific diagnosis and severity.

The center treats international families, including Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) seeking care in Pune. Staff provide support for admission and travel coordination across India. Coordinators communicate directly in English and Hindi. The facility features private residential rooms in a calm estate environment for a comfortable recovery stay.
