Message from our Founder Trustee
Fr. Joseph Pereira
The word Kripa means grace in Sanskrit — that gentle, unearned gift that changes everything. At Kripa Foundation, this belief guides our work as a leading drug rehabilitation centre in India.
At the heart of our approach is a simple truth: grace helps people rise from deep suffering, rediscover dignity, and reclaim their worth. Our focus is not only on reducing physical pain or controlling cravings, but on complete addiction recovery—mind, body, and spirit.
We see addiction for what it truly is: a disease, never a moral weakness. As a trusted de-addiction and rehabilitation centre in India, we provide compassionate care that combines modern science, psychological therapy, and spiritual healing.
Around the world, the Kripa Model is respected for its balanced approach. Our addiction treatment programs in India integrate evidence-based care, the 12-Step recovery path, psychological support, and holistic healing practices.
A key part of our recovery system is Kripa Foundation Iyengar Yoga (KFIY™️), inspired by B. K. S. Iyengar. Through therapeutic yoga, we help individuals release trauma, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild a meaningful connection with themselves.
This is more than treatment. As a leading rehabilitation centre in India, we help individuals and families rebuild their lives with strength, purpose, and long-term recovery.
ABOUT US
Transforming Addiction into Hope
For over 45 years, Kripa Foundation has been a leading drug rehabilitation centre in India, dedicated to reaching those society often leaves behind—the forgotten, the hurting, and those struggling with addiction, HIV/AIDS, and mental health challenges. Inspired by Mother Teresa’s compassion and the ancient wisdom of yoga, we provide care rooted in dignity, respect, and unwavering support. As a trusted de-addiction and rehabilitation centre in India, our mission is to help individuals rebuild their lives through structured recovery programs and holistic healing. Recovery never thrives in isolation. It grows within a strong, compassionate community—where individuals support one another, rebuild trust, and rediscover purpose. Our addiction treatment programs in India focus on long-term recovery through emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth. Looking ahead, we aim to reach even more lives across India—offering hope, healing, and accessible rehabilitation services for those facing addiction and life’s deepest struggles. At its core, Kripa remains simple: where grace is present, healing becomes real. If you or someone you know is seeking help, our doors are always open.

STORIES OF CHANGE
"For friends who do not know me, I would like to first briefly tell you that I have been suffering from this dreaded disease for the last 20 years and Innumerable Treatments at Rehab Centres and Hospitalizations were of no help as I latter realized that “The Program suggests the Path that we should follow which will change our lives and enable to achieve the sobriety that we need to live a whole life…"
"Before coming to Kripa Foundation, my life was in shambles due to my alcohol addiction. I lost my job, my family, and my health was deteriorating rapidly. The comprehensive treatment program at Kripa, which included medical care, counseling, and spiritual guidance, helped me regain control of my life. Today, I am sober for three years, have rebuilt my relationships, and have a stable job. Kripa Foundation gave me a second chance at life."
"As a young woman battling drug addiction, I felt hopeless and isolated. The Kripa Foundation provided me with a safe environment and a structured program that addressed my physical and emotional needs. The yoga and meditation sessions were particularly transformative, helping me find inner peace and strength. I am now pursuing my education and have a renewed sense of purpose. I am forever grateful to Kripa for helping me rediscover myself."
"I struggled with addiction for over a decade, during which I contracted HIV. I thought my life was over, but then I found Kripa Foundation. Their holistic approach, combining medical treatment for HIV, addiction recovery, and mental health support, saved my life. The staff treated me with dignity and respect, and I found a community of support that I had never experienced before. I am now healthy and living a fulfilling life, free from the chains of addiction."
