Recovery is not a single event. It is a process — and at Veda, it is a deeply personal one. From the moment a client arrives, we work to understand not just what they are struggling with, but who they are: their history, their relationships, their strengths, and what a meaningful life looks like for them. There are no standard programmes here. Every treatment plan is built from scratch, specific to the individual, and reviewed continuously as they progress.
With only five to eight clients per centre at any time, our clinical team is never stretched thin. Each client is supported by a dedicated psychiatrist, psychologist, physician, nutritionist, yoga instructor, and expressive arts therapist working in close coordination — not in silos. This integrated model means that what surfaces in a therapy session can immediately inform a nutritional adjustment, a change in medication, or a shift in the daily wellness programme. Nothing falls through the gaps.
Our clinical framework is anchored in evidence-based psychotherapy. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) forms the core of our individual and group sessions, equipping clients with practical skills in distress tolerance, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. This is complemented by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and restructure harmful thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build psychological flexibility, and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) to address deeply held beliefs that drive self-defeating behaviour. For clients with trauma histories, trauma-informed approaches are woven throughout — because for many people, addiction and mental health struggles are inseparable from unprocessed past experience.
Clinical treatment alone is not enough. That is why every client’s day at Veda also includes holistic and expressive therapies — yoga, meditation, sound healing, art therapy, and Reiki — not as add-ons, but as structured components of the recovery programme. Nutrition is treated as medicine. Physical wellness is monitored alongside mental health. And where appropriate, clients are supported to continue professional responsibilities during treatment through our work-from-treatment model, so that recovery does not mean stepping away from life entirely.
The sections below describe each component of our method in detail — from the initial psychiatric and psychological assessments through to nutritional consultation and alternative therapies. If you have questions about what treatment at Veda would look like for you or your loved one, our admissions team is available 24/7 by phone or WhatsApp.
Veda’s treatment method is delivered across all four centres — Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Gangtok, Sikkim.

Reiki: Reiki is a gentle, Japanese energy-healing practice used at Veda as a complementary part of the recovery programme — never as a replacement for clinical or psychiatric care. The word combines “rei” (universal or higher power) and “ki” (life force energy). Developed by Mikao Usui in the early twentieth century, Reiki is practised through light touch and calm, focused presence, and isn’t tied to any particular religion or belief system.
At Veda, Reiki is offered to support relaxation and emotional balance alongside a client’s core treatment plan. Clients often find it helpful for:

Reiki is offered as a complementary wellness practice — one part of an integrated, evidence-based treatment plan led by our clinical team, not a standalone treatment for any medical or psychiatric condition.
Expressive Arts is a multimodal method, that is, involving more than one of our senses (hearing, touching, seeing, etc.) or integrating more than one of them to uncover our thoughts and feelings. Utilizing different performing arts, e.g., painting, dancing, singing, writing, etc.
Using this as a treatment approach, people work with a trained therapist who analyses their responses through the art form of their choice and helps them release and understand their emotions better. It can be used with both children and adults.
As expressive arts utilizes different modalities of senses, it can majorly be grouped in the following categories:
It is important to note that while the activities mentioned above could seem a part of one’s daily life, it is different when used as a form of therapy, as many techniques and processes are integrated to meet the goals.
Some concerns it may help include: stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, developmental disorders, emotional and interpersonal concerns, trauma related concerns, it may also be useful for children who may not yet have the vocabulary to describe their thoughts or feelings.
It is important to remember that the activities need to be analysed by an expert to achieve the goal. Art therapy is an adjunct therapy approach, that is, it is not used as the only process in a treatment plan.
Most clients complete their programme at Veda within 4 to 12 weeks. There's no fixed timeline handed to everyone on arrival — duration is shaped by the psychiatric and psychological assessment, and reviewed as treatment progresses, so each client stays for exactly as long as their recovery genuinely needs.
Once the psychiatric evaluation and psychological assessment are complete, our clinical team takes a day or two to review the findings together and finalise a personalised treatment plan — one that reflects diagnosis, history, and the client's own goals for recovery. This short review period ensures the plan isn't rushed, and that every member of the care team, from psychiatrist to nutritionist, is aligned before treatment begins in earnest.

There are no standard programmes at Veda. Treatment begins with a psychiatric and psychological evaluation, and the resulting plan is reviewed and adjusted continuously as the client progresses.
Nutrition is treated as a core part of the treatment plan, not a side consideration. Our in-house nutritionist begins with a full assessment — weight, height and BMI, estimated caloric intake and a review of how prescribed medications may interact with diet. From there, a personalised diet plan is developed to meet the client’s caloric, protein, essential fatty acid and micronutrient needs, with blood tests recommended where a metabolic evaluation is needed. The plan is reassessed and adjusted throughout treatment as the client’s condition and needs change.
