Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Confidentiality is the foundation of our practice. Enquiries, records, visits and stays are handled with absolute discretion. With only seven suites and private, appointment-only visits, you will never cross paths with anyone you don't wish to meet. Public figures, executives and professionals choose The Shore precisely for this.

No. We do not disclose guest information to anyone — not employers, not acquaintances, not other guests. Family involvement happens only with your consent.

The Shore was founded by Sooraj Johns Mangalam, carrying forward the legacy of his late father Dr. Johns K Mangalam (1962–2020), founder of Punarjjany — a pioneering de-addiction centre that transformed more than 1.5 lakh lives. Read the full founder's story.

Three simple steps: reach out by WhatsApp or phone → a free counsellor consultation (phone or video, weekdays IST) → a private visit and admission. Airport pickup from Kochi or Coimbatore is arranged. Start here.

Most guests stay between 3 weeks and 3 months. Every plan is tailored after clinical assessment, reviewed weekly with you — your discharge date is a shared, informed decision, never a surprise.

Suite tariffs are shared privately on enquiry, in keeping with our discretion-first practice. You will receive a clear, complete quotation within hours — no hidden costs, flexible payment options. Request tariffs.

Seven private suites only — from The Shore Room to the presidential Monarch Suite — each with attached bath and five-star comfort, most with private balconies over the dam or forest. See the suites.

Alcohol, drug and tobacco de-addiction, medical detoxification, digital detox, and mental wellness concerns including anxiety, mild-to-moderate depression, panic disorder, stress and burnout, adjustment disorders, sleep problems and emotional dysregulation.

No. Our approach is holistic — we do not promote medication unless it is truly necessary. Every guest receives a tailor-made plan from our specialists, built around what they actually need to recover, and nothing more.

Kerala is the global home of authentic Ayurveda, and The Shore is built on that heritage. Traditional treatments — including Uzhichil oil massage — are blended responsibly with world-class allopathic medicine and evidence-based psychiatric care.

A full multidisciplinary team: consultant psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, addiction counsellors, medical officer, 24/7 nursing, Ayurvedic physician, nutritionist, yoga instructors and physiotherapist. Individual clinician profiles are shared privately during consultation. Meet the care team.

Even the smallest insight that it's time to stop is enough to begin. Talk to a counsellor — free, private, no obligation. We take just seven guests at a time and admission is by mutual fit; we will be honest with you about whether we can help.

Aftercare continues for as long as you need: scheduled follow-up consultations, online counselling, family check-ins, a personalised relapse-prevention plan, and access to our support community. Before you leave, we also work to restore your family's support system — so recovery continues at home.

Relapse is not failure — it is information. Your aftercare team stays with you, and if a return stay is ever needed, it is arranged quietly and quickly. You are never starting from zero again.
