Comprehensive Care for Recovery

“Health is Wealth” as the famous saying goes, no matter whether it is physical or mental and when we lose health, we need to regain and recover it. This process is called Recovery and this philosophy is the basis for us to establish and run RECOVERY, psychiatric and addiction treatment, rehabilitation (on daycare basis) and psychotherapy center

RECOVERY is a private psychiatric facility, offering a full spectrum of outpatient services in a warm, inviting atmosphere where patients and families proactively participate in their own treatment. The staff at RECOVERY believes in helping patients regain their footing and in fact build their status in society by regaining their pre-morbid functional capacity

Programs and Services:

At RECOVERY, we believe that our patients can fully receive the benefits of their treatment by having state-of-the-art pharmacological, psychological and social services.

Drug Addiction Treatment Facilities:

Addiction has surfaced as a huge menace for human society and RECOVERY aims at preventing this threat from spreading. When our target client is addicts, we offer services in the treatment of all sorts of addiction including cannabis, marijuana, cocaine, opium or morphine, bhung, heroine, alcohol, cough syrups and sleeping pills. Social factors also play their role apart from generic and biological factors.

The sense of insecurity is causing people to turn to drugs for support. The free availability of these drugs is also a reason for their outbreak. Frustrated youth has lack of awareness about its negative impacts. They try to get fun and relieve themselves from anxiety but gradually get trapped into it. For example, it has become a fashion for youth to use sheesha in every restaurant when they go for dining. That thing also has its major health hazards and can even cause psychological dependence. It can serve as a gateway to the limitless world of addictive substances.

Similarly people using cannabis (churs) don’t even know that it is the major cause of psychosis even Schizophrenia worldwide.

FAQs

What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

Many people are unsure of the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a physician who has completed medical school and specialized residency training in psychiatry. Because they are M.D.s, psychiatrists can prescribe medication. Most psychiatrists only treat people with medication but a few, like Dr. Ahsan, also provide therapy for people who are interested.

Psychologists are not physicians. Their degree is a Ph.D. or Psy.D. Psychologists do not prescribe medications. Most psychologists have intensive training in the treatment of mental illness through a variety of types of therapy. Psychologists usually have a lot of experience providing testing. Child psychologists have specific training in the treatment of disorders often seen in childhood.

Why do people see a psychiatrist?

People come to see a psychiatrist for many reasons. Some people have severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Some people are simply having trouble coping with the many stresses of modern life. Some people are already seeing a counselor who has suggested that medication might help them feel better. Most people who see a psychiatrist are simply trying to find ways to cope better with difficult feelings or behaviors and see psychiatric treatment as an opportunity to improve their lives.

When do I know my problems are severe enough to see someone?

We all have times when we are blue or particularly stressed. Usually these times pass and we begin to feel like ourselves again. Sometimes these problems persist a long time or start to interfere with daily life. People may have trouble sleeping, may feel more irritable, or begin to have difficulty in their jobs and relationships. Many of the websites on our links page have checklists that might help you decide if you need to see someone about your mental health. If you are unsure about whether you would benefit from treatment by Dr. Ahsan, feel free to call us and describe your problems to see if we can help you make this decision.

If I see a psychologist or psychiatrist, does that mean I'm crazy?

No. There is a negative stereotype that many people have that can make them shy about coming to see a psychologist or psychiatrist. Because of this stereotype, many people put off treatment when they could have been feeling better long ago. Seeing a mental health professional really just means that you are struggling with feelings or behavior and would like help. It's no different than if you were seeing an eye doctor because you couldn't see well. Often as part of treatment you will receive a diagnosis. We firmly believe, though, that a diagnosis does not define who you are and definitely does not mean anything bad about you. All people are unique and any two people with the same diagnosis are usually very different from each other. So coming to Recovery Clinic does not mean you are crazy and if you take a survey of your friends, family members, and coworkers, you will probably find a large percentage of people who have sought treatment for mental health at some time in their lives.

What causes mental illness?

We know a lot more about the brain than we used to and are learning more all the time. What scientists have found out is that most people with mental illnesses have a predisposition to those problems, just as many people have a predisposition to diabetes or asthma. These predispositions are not a personal weakness. They may be a random difference in how your brain developed, or it may be genetic. We know that many people with depression, thought disorders, anxiety, and learning difficulties (among others) have other family members with the same problems. So we don't know what triggers this predisposition in most people but we do know that most mental illnesses are rooted in how the brain works and not in whether you are a good person.

Will anyone know about what I say to Dr. Ahsan?

No. Just like going to other doctors, your records are confidential and we cannot even tell people that you come to us without your permission. We take confidentiality very seriously. There are a few exceptions to this rule. Most insurance companies will need to know a specific diagnosis and may need to know general information about your treatment (for example whether you are receiving therapy or medication management), but they won't know about the specific information you share with your doctor.

Sometimes people share information that indicates they may hurt themselves or another person. If this happens, we are required to share this information in order to keep our patients safe. Also, if you are involved in a legal matter relevant to your treatment, the court can subpoena our records. But these exceptions are rare occurrences. We will never share information without informing you and usually we will need your written permission.

If I bring my child to Dr. Ahsan will I know about his or her treatment and what my child says in therapy?

Maybe: You will be part of the decision process in determining what types of treatment are going to be most helpful to your child. Parents are often involved in helping the child transfer what they are learning in therapy to their everyday lives. When the difficulties have to do with parenting problems, the parents are often as active and involved in therapy as the child. As children get older, they are more concerned about privacy and may not want us to tell their parents everything they say. In these cases we will often share general issues about what the child discusses but not specific information. If your child is under 18, you have the legal right to know what happens in your child's treatment but most parents understand and support their son or daughter's right to privacy as this makes treatment more effective and can also create a more trusting relationship between parent and child.
