Nistha - Drug DeAddiction Center

ODD Foundation is a Social Development Organization in the state of Odisha working for the reduction of human suffering arising out of Drug Addiction, Mental Illness, and Physical Diseases as HIV/AIDS. Established in 1998, ODD FOUNDATION has completed 19 years of its meaningful existence in the State of Odisha. ODD FOUNDATION owes its origin to a particular conviction. The conviction was that all the emerging issues the world encounters today in the disparate field of poverty, illiteracy, social unrest, crime, terrorism, extremism, addictions, physical / mental ill health etc. stem from HUMAN INSANITY. To investigate into the domain of Human Insanity, an odd group of social and medical scientists identified the world of Drug Addiction as the most suitable area for study. The field of human suffering is much wide, varied and multi-dimensional. Physical sickness, mental illness, addiction, societal rejection, poverty etc, the various forms of human suffering were the areas of concern. To reduce human suffering arising out of drug addiction, NISTHA, the Drug De-addiction –cum –Research Centre was founded in 1997. Then a 15 bedded Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts (IRCA) at MIG-82 (1st Floor ),Lane-9,Housing Board Colony ,Khandagiri, Bhubaneswar in Khordha District of Odisha has been functioning with support from the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India since 2007- 2008. ```````````` ph. 090400818 09861027590
