What we help with

Addiction rarely affects just one person. We work with the person who’s struggling and with the family around them, at whatever stage you’re at.

  • Alcohol

    Drinking that’s become hard to control, from heavy drinking on weekends to long-term dependence.

  • Drugs

    Cannabis, prescription medicines and other drugs, whether use is occasional or daily.

  • Nicotine

    Cigarettes, vaping and chewing tobacco, with medication to ease cravings where it helps.

  • Gambling, gaming and screens

    Betting, online gaming, internet and phone use, pornography and sex addiction.

  • Addiction with depression or anxiety

    When addiction comes with a mental health condition, our psychiatrists and psychologists treat both together, in one plan.

  • Support for families

    Family sessions are part of every program, and we guide interventions when someone won’t accept help.

Programs and fees

Every program can be done online from the US or in person in Hyderabad, and includes time with a psychiatrist. Fees are set in Indian rupees, so they’re often far lower than similar outpatient programs in the US.

When someone you love won’t ask for help

Denial is part of addiction. A guided intervention gives the family a calm, planned way to help the person see what’s happening and accept treatment, without blame or confrontation.

How an intervention works

  1. Plan with usTalk through what’s happening with one of our addiction professionals.
  2. Gather the factsWe put together the person’s history and the treatment options to offer.
  3. Form a small teamFour to six people the person loves and trusts.
  4. Prepare what to sayEach person writes about how the addiction has affected them, focusing on impact rather than blame.
  5. Hold the interventionGuided by our team, and ending with a clear request to start treatment straight away.
  6. Begin treatmentIf they say yes, treatment starts right away. If not, the family follows through on the limits it agreed.

If your family member lives in India

Many families we work with are split between the US and India. If a parent, brother, sister or child in India is drinking or using, we can see them in person in Hyderabad or online, and include you in family sessions from the US, with their consent.

The people you’ll work with

Hope Trust was started in 2002 by a family who had lived through addiction and recovery themselves. Our counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists work as one team.
