Alternative to Addiction Creating Centre’s journey begins with the supervision of a dynamic lady Ms. Sanju Barick in the year 2012. She started a revolutionary and unorthodox system for those people who have fallen in the vicious trap of drug/alcohol abuse. This treatment is a combination of psychological and pharmacological initiative which aims at the eradication of addiction caused by drugs and alcohol.
Today after 10+ years of par excellence, Alternative to Addiction Creating Centre’s team has an optimum experience of over 100+ years in the field of facilitating the individuals and their families to walk towards life more freely and independently.
