Personal Doctor Guidance Through Teleconsultation
Treatment Guidance Even When You Cannot Visit Nashik
De-addiction treatment is not limited to patients who can visit our center in Nashik.
Patients and their families from different parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat and other locations can receive treatment guidance through teleconsultation.
Our doctors guide the patient's relative through the treatment course, explain how the treatment should be followed and provide counselling and support along the way.
Dr. Sanjay Gunjal personally handles every teleconsultation call, while both Dr. Sanjay Gunjal and Dr. Vanita Gunjal are available to provide counselling and guidance.
This allows families to remain connected with the treating doctor even when travelling to Nashik is difficult.
How teleconsultation works
1. Consultation
Discuss the patient's addiction and treatment requirements with the doctor.
2. Treatment guidance
The doctor explains the treatment course and instructions to the patient's relative.
3. Medication delivery
Where applicable, prescribed medication can be arranged for delivery to the patient's location.
4. Ongoing guidance
The patient's relative can remain in contact with the doctor and seek guidance during the course.
5. Completion of the course
The doctors guide the family on following the complete treatment course and the necessary instructions.
Our Approach to De-addiction
Treatment Involves the Patient — and the Family
Addiction affects more than the person who is consuming alcohol or other addictive substances. It also affects the patient's family.
At Sai Samarth De Addiction Center, we therefore believe that guiding the patient's relatives is an important part of the treatment process.
Our doctors focus on:
-
Understanding the patient's addiction
-
Providing appropriate treatment guidance
-
Counselling patients and relatives
-
Helping families follow the treatment instructions correctly
-
Providing continued guidance during the treatment course
-
Supporting patients through both in-person and teleconsultation-based care
