About Us

About Treda
OUR JOURNEY
On 17th August 1993, Sister Lilly Chunkapura MMS, inspired by the Medical Missionary Sisters created the Treatment Rehabilitation and Education of Drug Abuse (TREDA). With humble beginnings in a rented building with 10 beds, Treda has been rendering its service to the people of Karnataka since 1996.
Over the years, thousands of patients with alcohol and drug addiction have been treated, healed, and rehabilitated in society. Run by OCD Fathers, with experienced and equipped staff, Treda offers one of the best services as a de-addiction center in Bangalore.
TYPES OF PATIENTS
In today's world, feelings of frustration, unhappiness, sadness, insecurity, and helplessness are alarmingly widespread, affecting people regardless of age, gender, social class, location, or economic standing. These negative emotions stem from various factors within the individual, family, or society. As individuals become restless and stressed, their well-being, health, and efficiency decline, leading to increased negative thoughts and emotions.
Physical and mental suffering are also on the rise. While people generally manage their problems through experience and wisdom, a lack of emotional support from friends and family, who are often preoccupied with their issues, exacerbates feelings of loneliness and isolation, weakening relationships.
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT & COUNSELLING
With increasing industrialization, urbanization, and life's complexities, people face various problems. Urbanization's unceasing trend has exacerbated these issues. The accelerated pace of change, novel situations, and diverse options intended to bring happiness have, paradoxically, undermined contentment and happy living conditions. Delays or wrong solutions can worsen the situation, increasing pain.
Despite this, some individuals manage to solve problems through trial and error, experience, and wisdom. Our tradition and social setup have the potential to nurture such individuals who are committed to helping others. Hence, Treda caters to those needing guidance, mental health support, and counseling, providing crucial assistance for improved well-being.
