Admissions desk, every day of the year

03 — Inside the programme

A gym, a library, real food and someone awake at every hour

The difference between centres is rarely the treatment plan on paper. It is what the other twenty-two hours of the day contain — and whether anyone is there at three in the morning.

golden-life-bd-gym-mirpur-dhaka.webp

Gym and daily physical training

Golden Life BD has its own equipped gymnasium inside the centre — multi-station resistance equipment, a treadmill and free weights — and supervised exercise is part of the daily timetable, not an optional extra.

Exercise does specific clinical work in early recovery. It restores the sleep cycle that stimulants and alcohol destroy, brings back appetite, and helps the brain’s own dopamine and endorphin regulation recover — the same system the substance was hijacking. Patients who train daily report noticeably fewer cravings and lower anxiety by the second month, and the routine itself gives shape to a day that used to be organised around using. Sessions are supervised so that patients still recovering physically from malnutrition or liver strain train at a level that is safe for them.

golden-life-bd-group-discussion-hall.webp

Sports, recreation and group programmes

Indoor games, a television and common room, cultural evenings and regular discussion meetings (আলোচনা সভা) run through the week. Nobody sits idle, and nobody is left on their own.

Isolation is one of the strongest predictors of relapse, so the timetable is built to prevent it. Patients live as a group: they eat together, train together, attend group therapy together and take part in recreation and discussion programmes together. Carrom, chess, table games and television are available in the common room during free periods, and we hold regular awareness and discussion sessions where residents, staff and invited speakers talk openly. For many patients this is the first structured social life they have had in years, and it is where peer accountability — one of the most powerful forces in recovery — actually forms.

golden-life-bd-dining-kitchen-entrance.webp

Food, nutrition and hygiene

Three full meals and two snacks every day, cooked in our own kitchen. Diet is treated as part of medical recovery, not as catering.

Almost every patient arrives malnourished. Prolonged stimulant use suppresses appetite for days at a time; alcohol damages the absorption of thiamine and other B vitamins, and that deficiency itself causes lasting neurological harm if it is not corrected. Meals are planned with that in mind — adequate protein, iron and vitamins, with nutritional and vitamin supplementation from day one of detox. The kitchen is maintained to a strict hygiene standard and you are welcome to inspect it before admission. Where a patient has diabetes, hypertension, liver disease or another condition requiring a modified diet, that diet is prepared separately on the physician’s instruction.

golden-life-bd-group-therapy-worksheet-session.webp

Library, reading and written therapy work

A library patients can use freely, plus structured written work — journals, trigger diaries and step worksheets — that forms a core part of therapy.

Recovery is not only conversation. Patients keep written records of cravings, triggers and the situations that preceded them, and work through structured worksheets with their counsellor. Writing forces a level of honesty and self-observation that talking alone rarely reaches, and it gives both patient and clinician something concrete to review week by week. The library gives residents something to do with the long quiet hours that early recovery contains — a detail families notice, and one that visitors have singled out in their reviews of the centre.

Doctors and nurses around the clock

A BMDC-registered physician directs every treatment plan and nursing staff are on duty twenty-four hours, including through the night when withdrawal is at its worst. Vital signs, hydration and medication are monitored and recorded, and there is always someone awake to respond.

Accommodation from shared rooms to private AC cabins

Clean, ventilated rooms with natural light, cleaned daily, ranging from shared non-AC rooms to a two-bed air-conditioned cabin with its own bathroom. Every room is under staff supervision at all hours.

Space for prayer and personal routine

Time and space are set aside for prayer and personal reflection. Recovery here does not ask anyone to give up what steadies them — for many patients faith is part of what holds the change in place.

A daily routine that never leaves an empty hour

Fixed waking and sleeping times, meals, therapy blocks, exercise, recreation and rest. Most patients arrive having had no structure for years, and the structure itself is part of the treatment.

Talk to a counsellor now — free, and nothing is recorded against you

The admissions desk is staffed twenty-four hours, every day of the year — including Fridays and public holidays. Call if you are ready, message on WhatsApp if it is easier to type than to talk.

04 — Who we are

A rehabilitation centre in Dhaka built around one idea — treat the person, not just the substance.

Golden Life BD drug awareness programme in Dhaka with a hall full of participants

Awareness programme run by Golden Life BD — community work has run alongside treatment since 2004

Golden Life BD — registered as Mirpur Counseling Center — has been treating drug and alcohol addiction in Dhaka since 2004. In twenty-two years the drugs have changed. Heroin gave way to yaba; yaba is now being joined by crystal meth and prescription sedatives. What has not changed is the shape of the problem that arrives at our gate: an exhausted family, a person who does not believe they need help, and a decision nobody feels qualified to make.

We are a residential facility, which means patients live here for the duration of treatment. That matters. Addiction is not undone by willpower or by a fortnight of detox — the brain needs time away from the environment that sustained the habit, and the family needs time to learn a different way of responding. Our core programme runs a minimum of four months for exactly that reason.

Families rarely arrive asking for a treatment programme. They arrive asking whether things can still be fixed. Almost always the answer is yes — but not by trying harder at home.

Dr. Mufassir Husain Sohel · Addiction Medicine, Golden Life BD

Every patient is assessed by a BMDC-registered doctor on arrival, and every treatment plan is written and supervised by one. Detox is managed clinically, not endured. Nursing staff are on duty twenty-four hours, including through the night when withdrawal peaks.

Where depression, anxiety or psychosis sits underneath the addiction — which is far more often than families expect — it is treated in parallel by our psychiatrist, because treating one without the other simply returns the patient to the same place a few months later.

We are licensed by Dhaka North City Corporation and approved as a drug addiction counselling, treatment and rehabilitation centre by the Department of Narcotics Control under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Our fire safety clearance is current and inspected.

These are not decorations — before you admit anyone to any facility in Bangladesh, you are entitled to ask to see all three, and you should. Ours are displayed at the centre and you are welcome to read them when you visit.

When we opened in 2004 the presenting problem was overwhelmingly heroin and phensidyl. Yaba displaced both within a decade. Today we are seeing crystal meth among younger patients, prescription sedative dependence that began with a legitimate doctor’s note, and a rising share of adolescents whose first compulsive behaviour was not a substance at all.

What has not changed is the clinical principle: treat the person, the psychiatric condition and the family together, and give it enough time to hold. You can read more on our rehabilitation treatment page, or see the daily routine patients follow while they are with us.

05 — What we treat

Addictions and conditions we are equipped for

Each substance has a different withdrawal profile and a different relapse pattern. We do not run one programme for everybody.

yaba 1

Most common in Bangladesh

Yaba & methamphetamine

Stimulant dependence brings severe sleep disruption, weight loss, paranoia and aggression. Withdrawal is psychologically brutal rather than physically dangerous, which is why it so often fails at home.

Yaba symptoms & treatment →

Alcohol dependency

Medically urgent

Alcohol dependence

The one addiction where stopping suddenly can kill. Seizures and delirium tremens are real risks after heavy long-term use — alcohol detox belongs under medical supervision, never at home.

Our alcohol programme →

Heroin

Opioids

Heroin & opioid dependence

Physical withdrawal peaks within 72 hours and is intensely painful. Managed medically it is entirely survivable; unmanaged, it is the single biggest reason people return to use within days.

Quitting heroin →

Crystal meth (ICE)

Rising sharply

Crystal meth (ICE)

Increasingly common among younger users in Dhaka. Produces prolonged psychosis in some patients, which needs psychiatric treatment alongside addiction care.

Sleeping pills sedatives

Often overlooked

Sleeping pills & sedatives

Prescription dependence rarely looks like addiction to the family, because it began with a doctor’s note. Like alcohol, abrupt withdrawal from benzodiazepines carries seizure risk.

Sleeping pill addiction →

Ganja & cannabis

Cannabis

Ganja & cannabis

Frequently dismissed as harmless. In practice it is the most common gateway we see, and heavy adolescent use is strongly associated with later psychiatric presentation.

Marijuana addiction →

Co-occurring mental illness

Dual diagnosis

Co-occurring mental illness

Depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and severe anxiety. A large share of our patients arrive with one of these underneath the addiction — both are treated together.

Anger

Behavioural

Anger, violence & self-harm

Anger management, impulse control and suicidal ideation are treated as clinical issues in their own right, not as side effects that will resolve once the drugs stop.

Technology & gaming addiction

Non-substance

Technology & gaming addiction

Compulsive mobile phone use, gaming and pornography dependence — particularly among adolescents. Managed through structured behavioural therapy and family boundary work.

Gaming addiction treatment →

06 — Recognising the problem

How to tell whether someone you love needs treatment

Families almost never act on the first suspicion. If three or more of these are true, the situation has usually gone further than it appears from the outside.

You do not have to be certain before you call.

Most people who contact us are not sure whether what they are seeing is addiction or something else. That is exactly what the first conversation is for. Ten minutes with a counsellor will tell you more than another month of watching and worrying.

Money stops adding up

Cash or household items going missing, constant borrowing, unexplained debts.

Sleep has inverted

Awake through the night, sleeping through the day, sharp weight loss, reddened eyes.

Sustained secrecy

Consistent lying about where they have been and who they were with; long periods locked away alone.

New circle, old friends gone

Long-standing friendships dropped in favour of company the family has never met.

Work or study collapses

Repeated absence, falling results, or a job lost — with no explanation that holds together.

Volatility at home

Disproportionate rage over small things, broken property, or the opposite — flat, withdrawn depression.

Physical tells

Marks on the arms, persistent runny nose, tremor in the hands, sudden neglect of hygiene.

Promises that keep failing

Repeatedly quitting for a few days, then returning — each time with a more convincing reason.

07 — Admission

What actually happens, step by step

No paperwork maze and no pressure. Most families complete admission within 24 hours of their first call.

01

Call us — there is no fee for this

Ring +880 1716-623665 at any hour. A counsellor will spend ten to fifteen minutes understanding the situation: which substance, how long, how much, what has already been tried, and what the patient’s physical condition is. At the end of that call you will be told plainly whether residential treatment is warranted — and if it is not, we will say so.

02

Come and see the centre before deciding

You are welcome to visit before committing to anything, and you do not need an appointment. See where patients sleep, look at the kitchen, meet the staff who will be on duty. We would rather you judged the place with your own eyes than trusted a photograph on a website — including this one.

03

Medical assessment by our doctor

On arrival the patient is examined by our physician. We establish the substance profile and duration, check physical condition — liver function, nutrition, injection sites, any injury — and screen for the psychiatric conditions that so often sit underneath. The treatment plan is written from this assessment, not from a template.

04

What to bring with you

Keep it simple. If a document is missing, call us — it is almost never a reason to delay an urgent admission.

05

Written plan, written cost

Before admission is completed you receive the treatment plan, the expected duration and the total fee — in writing. We do not add charges midway through treatment. If something genuinely unforeseen arises, such as a hospital referral for a separate medical condition, you are consulted before anything is spent.

06

The first 72 hours

Medically supervised detox begins. This is the hardest stretch for the patient and the most anxious for the family, so it is also the period we monitor most closely — round the clock, with medication used where clinically indicated to keep withdrawal tolerable. The family is telephoned with an update every day during this phase.

This is the single most common thing families tell us, and it is rarely the obstacle it feels like. Almost nobody agrees at first. What changes the outcome is how the conversation is held — who raises it, when, in what tone, and which sentences to avoid entirely. Our counsellors will coach you through that before you attempt it.

In a small number of cases — where there is immediate risk to the patient or to others — our trained staff can assist with bringing the patient in. Whether that is appropriate depends entirely on the individual circumstances and the family’s situation, and it is decided case by case in conversation with us. It is never our first suggestion.

08 — Alcohol addiction treatment

Alcohol Addiction Treatment Center in Dhaka

Of everything we treat, alcohol is the one where delay carries the most immediate medical danger — and the one families in Bangladesh most often try to handle privately.

Alcohol dependence in Bangladesh hides. Because drinking carries a particular social and religious weight here, it tends to happen quietly and be discovered late — often only when a medical crisis, a lost job or a collapsing marriage forces it into the open. By the time a family calls us, the pattern has usually been established for years.

Stopping suddenly can be fatal — this is not an exaggeration

After prolonged heavy drinking, abruptly stopping can trigger withdrawal seizures and delirium tremens, a state of severe confusion, fever and cardiovascular instability that carries a genuine risk of death when untreated. This is why alcohol detox must never be attempted at home, and why “locking him in a room until it passes” is one of the most dangerous things a well-meaning family can do.

At Golden Life BD, alcohol treatment begins with a graded, medically supervised detox. Withdrawal is managed with medication where clinically indicated, vital signs are monitored, and thiamine and nutritional support are given — long-term drinkers are almost always deficient, and that deficiency itself causes neurological damage if left uncorrected.

The real work starts after detox. We look at what the drinking was doing for the person — managing anxiety, blunting grief, making social situations survivable — because unless that function is replaced with something else, abstinence rarely lasts. Where depression or an anxiety disorder is driving the drinking, our psychiatrist treats it directly.

Drinking is usually woven into household routine in ways nobody has noticed, and relapse most often happens in the first weeks back home. We prepare the family for that specifically. You can read more on our alcohol addiction treatment page.

Programme length

Minimum four months residential, including detox, therapy and discharge preparation

Detox phase

Typically the first two to three weeks, under continuous medical supervision

Medical monitoring

Vital signs, hydration, nutritional status and liver function reviewed throughout

Treated alongside

Depression, anxiety disorders, insomnia and, where present, polysubstance use

Family involvement

Structured counselling sessions and a written relapse-prevention plan before discharge

After discharge

Scheduled follow-up contact and rapid re-engagement if warning signs appear

09 — Our method

How treatment actually works here

Four phases, each with a specific clinical purpose. Skipping any one of them is why so many people relapse.

Phase 01

Detoxification — clearing the body safely

Detox is where treatment begins, and where it most often fails when attempted without medical support. As the substance leaves the body the patient may experience insomnia, vomiting, tremor, severe agitation, muscle pain and intense craving. How dangerous this is depends entirely on the substance.

Our physician manages the process clinically — medication where indicated, hydration and nutrition, and continuous observation through the most acute phase. The aim is not to make withdrawal comfortable, which is not possible, but to make it safe and survivable so the patient reaches the stage where actual therapy can begin. Alcohol and benzodiazepines are the two exceptions where withdrawal itself can be life-threatening — both require supervised detox without exception.

Phase 02

Therapy & counselling — where recovery is built

A clean body is not a recovered person. Once detox is complete, the substantive work begins — and it occupies the majority of the four-month programme.

In individual counselling we trace the origin: what the substance was solving, which situations trigger the urge, what the person does in the ninety seconds after that urge arrives. In group sessions patients discover they are neither uniquely broken nor uniquely clever — both illusions have to go before progress is possible. Where a psychiatric condition sits underneath, our psychiatrist treats it in parallel; untreated depression is one of the strongest predictors of relapse we see.

Phase 03

Family programme — treating the household

Addiction is not an individual illness with family bystanders. Over years, households develop patterns that unintentionally keep the addiction alive — paying off debts, covering for absences, alternating between fury and appeasement, or simply never naming what everyone can see.

None of that comes from bad intention. It comes from love with no instruction manual. Our family sessions replace it with something workable: how to speak about use without triggering a fight, where the boundaries go and how to hold them, what to do with money, and how to respond in the first difficult week after the patient comes home.

Phase 04

Reintegration — preparing to leave, and to stay well

The final phase of the programme is about the world outside. A patient who is stable inside a controlled environment has not yet been tested; the test starts the day they walk out.

We work on the practical architecture of an ordinary life: a fixed daily routine that does not leave long empty stretches, a realistic plan for returning to work or study, and a strategy for the old circle — because in a city like Dhaka, avoiding every former contact is not always possible, and pretending otherwise sets people up to fail. Before discharge we sit down with the family and write a plan. Nobody leaves here with a handshake and good wishes.

10 — The four months

What actually happens, month by month

Detox is three weeks of it. The other three months are the part that decides whether recovery holds.

Week 1–3

Detox

Withdrawal is managed medically with round-the-clock monitoring. The family is telephoned with an update every single day of this phase.

Month 1–2

Therapy

Individual and group counselling begins. Triggers are mapped, and any depression, anxiety or psychosis underneath is treated in parallel.

Month 3

The family

The household learns a different way of responding — boundaries, money, and how to raise the subject without it turning into a fight.

Month 4

Going home

Daily routine, a realistic return-to-work plan and a written relapse-prevention plan, agreed with the family before discharge day.

11 — Cost of treatment

Rehab centre cost in Dhaka — stated openly

Every package is a minimum four-month residential programme. Accommodation, all meals, medically supervised detox, therapy and follow-up are included in each one. What changes between them is room type and the intensity of individual attention.

৳2,00,000

Four-month programme · ৳50,000 per month

Why four months, when other centres offer fifteen-day programmes?

Because detox is not treatment. Clearing the substance from the body takes two to three weeks; changing the thinking and the habits that produced the addiction takes considerably longer. Short programmes discharge people who feel physically well and are psychologically unchanged — which is why so many families who try them end up calling a second centre a few months later. We would rather be honest about the timeframe at the start.

12 — Choosing a centre

Government or private rehabilitation centre?

We are a private facility, but private is not automatically the right answer. Here is the honest comparison.

Government centres

Operated by the state · nominal fees

Examples in Dhaka: Central Drug Addiction Treatment Centre (Tejgaon), National Institute of Mental Health, Dhaka Ahsania Mission.

Private centres (including us)

Golden Life BD · Mirpur-1, Dhaka

Private care makes the clearest difference where the patient has relapsed repeatedly, where a psychiatric condition sits alongside the addiction, or where admission simply cannot wait.

Our honest advice

If money is tight and the situation is not acute, starting with a government centre is a perfectly sensible decision, and we will tell you so on the phone. You are also entitled to check any centre’s licensing status directly with the Department of Narcotics Control before you commit — we would encourage it.

13 — Clinical team

18 — After discharge

Treatment does not end at the gate

Relapse is most likely in the first weeks at home. That is precisely when most centres have stopped paying attention.

01

Scheduled follow-up

We make contact at set intervals after discharge to check how the patient and the household are managing.

02

Relapse warning signs

The family is taught in advance which changes in sleep, mood, money or company signal that risk is rising.

03

Rapid re-engagement

If a relapse occurs, call us immediately. Early intervention often means a short stay rather than starting over.

04

Structure to go home to

A written daily routine and return-to-work plan, agreed with the family before discharge day.

A note on female patients

Golden Life BD currently provides residential treatment to male patients only. We do not have separate female accommodation, and admitting women without it would be neither responsible nor appropriate.

If you are seeking treatment for a woman, please still call us. Dhaka has facilities specifically for female patients — including the Dhaka Ahsania Mission Female Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre in Mohammadpur — and we will help you identify the right one at no cost. There is nothing in it for us; getting the patient treated is what matters.

21 — Questions

Frequently asked questions

At Golden Life BD a complete four-month residential programme costs between ৳80,000 and ৳2,00,000 — roughly ৳20,000 to ৳50,000 per month. That figure includes accommodation, three meals a day, medically supervised detox, individual and group therapy, family counselling and follow-up after discharge. The variation between packages reflects room type and how much one-to-one therapy time is included. Government centres in Dhaka cost considerably less but have limited beds and waiting lists.

Our core residential programme runs a minimum of four months. Detox occupies roughly the first two to three weeks; the remainder is therapy, counselling and building the habits that make recovery hold. Shorter programmes exist elsewhere, but discharging someone at fifteen days means discharging them immediately after the physical withdrawal has passed and before any psychological work has been done. The exact duration is adjusted to the individual patient’s progress.

Yes. We hold a Dhaka North City Corporation trade licence (TRAD/DNCC/003817/2022) and are approved by the Department of Narcotics Control under the Ministry of Home Affairs as a drug addiction counselling, treatment and rehabilitation centre. We also hold current fire safety clearance from Fire Service & Civil Defence (FSCD/DHK/2026/32377/16). All original certificates are displayed at the centre and you are welcome to inspect them when you visit.

No. Golden Life BD provides residential treatment to male patients only, because we do not have separate female accommodation. If you are looking for treatment for a woman, please call us anyway — Dhaka has centres specifically for female patients and we will help you find the appropriate one free of charge.

Almost nobody agrees at first — this is the norm rather than the exception. Speak to our counsellor before you attempt the conversation. They will coach you on how to raise it, who in the family should raise it, when to do it, and which phrases reliably make things worse. In most cases a well-handled conversation produces agreement. In a small number of situations where there is immediate risk, our trained staff can assist — but that depends entirely on individual circumstances and is decided case by case in discussion with us.

During the detox phase direct contact is limited. Patients are emotionally volatile at that stage and contact from home frequently triggers a demand to leave before treatment has properly begun. However, the family is telephoned with an update every day during this period. Once the patient stabilises, regular visits and calls are arranged. The full schedule is explained to you in writing at admission.

Your information is treated as strictly confidential. Only the clinical team and the family members you nominate have access to it. We do not contact neighbours, employers or extended relatives. Information is disclosed outside that circle only where there is a legal obligation or a life-threatening medical emergency — exceptions that apply to every licensed medical facility, and which we would rather state plainly than pretend do not exist.

Three full meals and two snacks are provided daily, included in every package. Most patients arrive malnourished — prolonged substance use suppresses appetite and disrupts absorption — so diet is planned as part of medical recovery rather than as catering. Accommodation ranges from shared rooms through to a two-bed air-conditioned room with separate bathroom, depending on the package. You are welcome to see the rooms and the kitchen before admission.

Relapse is a recognised part of addiction recovery, not evidence that treatment failed. What matters is how quickly it is addressed. We maintain follow-up contact after discharge and teach families in advance which signs indicate that risk is rising. If a relapse occurs, contact us immediately — early intervention frequently means a short period of renewed support rather than repeating the entire programme.

Yes, and it is essential. A substantial proportion of our patients have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or psychosis alongside the addiction — and in many cases the psychiatric condition came first, with the substance used to manage it. Treating the addiction alone leaves the underlying driver intact, which is a reliable route back to use. Our consultant psychiatrist treats both together.

Yaba and methamphetamine, alcohol, heroin and other opioids, crystal meth, cannabis, prescription sedatives and sleeping pills, and polysubstance use. We also treat behavioural conditions including anger and impulse-control problems, self-harm and suicidal ideation, and technology, gaming and pornography addiction — particularly among adolescents.

Golden Life BD is our operating name; Mirpur Counseling Center is the registered entity name that appears on the trade licence and other official documents. They are the same organisation — so if you see “Mirpur Counseling Center” on paperwork, nothing is wrong.
