Ved Vignan Mahavidyapeeth De-Addiction and Research Centre

The Art of Living’s Rehabilitation Centre, VVMDRC, a non-profit organization which inculcates a unique blend of scientific and spiritual approach, was initiated by the leadership of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of The Art of Living organization, with a vision to eradicate addiction (substance abuse, etc) and provide rehabilitation to those already suffering from the disease.

The unique aspect of the therapeutic treatment encompasses a holistic approach. Incorporating mental, physical and spiritual healing as part of its program, it has helped many to come out of their problems and enlivening themselves in all spheres of life including personal, social, professional, etc and rendering them back as productive members of society.
