Alcoholism and Chemical dependency is a menace affecting many countries of the world including India. Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency is very rampant in Kolkata, majority of the inhabitants of Kolkata are suffering from alcohol and other drugs related problems. To keep in pace with this fast and modernised world most teenagers are prone to drugs/alcohol. St. Joseph’s rehabilitation is a Christian organisation working for the benefits of the society at large, inspires, motivates and most importantly reminds all of us of the needs of the society. St. Joseph’s is inclined towards the helping of the affected alcoholics/addicts playing the most significant role, enabling our services to those in need of changing lives.  St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation was founded by Mr John Pathickaden in 19th March, 1986. He was a teacher by profession and a recuperating alcoholic. After undergoing various International Training Programs on Alcoholism and Substance-abuse treatment Mr John Pathickaden was encouraged to establish a rehabilitation center in Kolkata. He excelled in counselling skills and how to identify alcoholism and drug addiction with people and how to help them and realized the need for a treatment center for those who were street dwellers and abandoned or disowned by their families. St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation Center thus came into existence.
