Luxury rehab centres on the rise as affluent Indians seek mental care

Luxury rehabilitation centres are gaining popularity in India, driven by rising disposable incomes and a growing preference for high-end care among affluent individuals. These centres offer private villas, gourmet meals, and holistic therapies, charging between Rs. 2 lakh (US$ 2,326) and Rs. 12 lakh (US$ 13,953) per month. This is significantly higher than the Rs. 30,000 (US$ 349) to Rs. 1.5 lakh (US$ 1,744) charged by standard centres. High-net-worth individuals, including NRIs, celebrities, and business professionals, are increasingly opting for these premium facilities due to their cultural familiarity and cost advantage compared to international options. CEO of Gurugram-based Tulasi Healthcare, Dr. Gorav Gupta, noted that luxury rehab centres are on the rise in Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. He highlighted that similar treatments in the US can cost around Rs. 17,20,024 (US$ 20,000) per month, while in India, it ranges between Rs. 4-5 lakh (US$ 4,651- 5,814) for the same duration. Additionally, India allows longer-term observation, offering more flexibility in care.
Several luxury rehab centres across the country are catering to this demand. Samarpan Rehabilitation Centre in Pune and Mumbai, Alpha Healing Center in Gujarat, Lotus Wellness and Rehabilitation Centre in Coimbatore, and Pema Wellness in Visakhapatnam are among the leading facilities. These centres provide comprehensive treatments for substance abuse, behavioural issues, and chronic disorders. Samarpan, for instance, offers international standards of treatment with luxury amenities such as private villas, a gym, swimming pool, and spa. Alpha Healing Center, under the Fortis Group, provides packages ranging from Rs. 2 lakh (US$ 2,326) to Rs. 6.5 lakh (US$ 7,558), featuring a detox facility, spa, yoga studio, and other comforts. Senior consultant at Artemis Lite NFC, Dr. Rahul Chandhok, highlighted that clients today seek individualised care, privacy, and comfort, making luxury rehab centres an attractive option.
