HOW TO CHOOSE
How to Choose the Best Rehab Center in Islamabad
Compare two or three centers before you decide. These four checks protect your loved one and your money. Judge every center, including us, against them:
1
Who leads treatment, by name?
A named consultant should lead each case. At Healing Door, psychiatrist Dr. M. Iqbal Khan and addiction specialist Dr. Nasir Mehmood Abbasi lead treatment.
2
Is detox supervised at night?
The hardest hours are at night, so medical cover should be there too. Our team supervises detox day and night and adjusts the plan as your loved one stabilises.
3
Is the full cost in writing before admission?
Vague pricing is where family disputes begin. Before admission you receive a written estimate of what the program includes.
4
What happens after discharge?
Relapse risk is highest in the weeks after treatment. Our team builds a written relapse prevention plan with every patient and guides the family on warning signs.
The family stays involved, and everything stays private. You speak with the treating team, join family sessions, and learn to support recovery at home. Admission and treatment are confidential; information is not shared without consent, except where safety or the law requires it.
These checks are also our guide: Top 20 Questions to Ask a Rehab Center.
Start With Your Situation
Most families arrive with one specific worry. Find yours.
“My son or daughter uses ICE or heroin.”
ICE and heroin change behaviour fast: sleeplessness, secrecy, anger, money disappearing. Earlier treatment works better.
“They need detox, and I am afraid of withdrawal.”
Withdrawal from alcohol, opioids and some prescription medicines can be dangerous without supervision. Never attempt it alone at home.
“They are under 25.”
Younger patients need a different approach: stronger peer influence, and schooling or early work to protect. Talk to us first.
“I am abroad and cannot be there.”
Everything can be arranged by phone and WhatsApp, with a trusted relative helping in Pakistan.
“I am worried about a woman in my family.”
Women receive care in separate arrangements, with female staff involved in daily treatment, so your family never chooses between help and her dignity.
“They are in a psychiatric crisis, or depression has taken over.”
A mind in crisis: severe depression, mania or psychosis. In immediate danger, go to a hospital emergency first.

FACILITY
A Rehab Center in Bani Gala, Islamabad
Recovery needs quiet, safety and dignity. Healing Door is based in Bani Gala, a green, peaceful part of Islamabad, where patients focus on treatment away from the pressures connected with their addiction, while families visit easily.
The facility runs a structured daily routine: medical rounds, individual and group therapy, family sessions and rest.
Speak with our team first and ask every question; we would rather answer honestly than promise easily.
Meet Our Professionals
Nine named professionals lead and support treatment at Healing Door, led by consultant psychiatrist Dr. M. Iqbal Khan alongside addiction specialists and a consultant psychologist. Read their profiles before you decide.
Rehabilitation for Women: Private, Safe and Respectful
When the patient is a daughter, sister, wife or mother, the worry is heavier. Women receive the same medical seriousness as any patient, in arrangements designed around privacy, safety and dignity: separate arrangements from male patients, female staff involved in daily care, and complete confidentiality.
Addiction in women is often hidden longer and judged harder. If you are worried about a woman in your family, call us; you will be heard without judgment.
TREATMENT LENGTH
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Programme length is set after assessment. Most run from a few weeks of detox and stabilisation to around three months of structured rehabilitation.
Leaving as soon as withdrawal ends, before therapy addresses why the person uses, is the most common reason families arrange admission a second time.
These ranges are general information, not a promise; the treating doctor explains the reasoning after assessment.

FAQ
Common Questions About Our Rehab Center
The questions families ask us most on the first call.
There is no official ranking, so judge any center by: a named consultant, supervised detox, a written cost before admission, and a written aftercare plan. Healing Door meets all four.
It depends on the program, its length and the medical care needed, so no honest center quotes one figure for everyone. At Healing Door the expected cost is given in writing before admission.
Healing Door is a private facility, so treatment here is paid. Free treatment is available through public sector hospital psychiatry units in Islamabad, though waiting lists can be long.
ICE, called ice nasha in Pakistan, is crystal methamphetamine: a stimulant that keeps users awake for days, then crashes them into exhaustion and low mood. It can cause paranoia, aggression, heart strain and psychosis, and regular use becomes an addiction.
Ask who the named consultant is, whether detox is supervised at night, the written cost, what happens after discharge, and how the family stays involved. A trustworthy center answers all five plainly.
No honest rehab center can guarantee a success rate: recovery depends on completing treatment, following aftercare and the patient’s own effort. Percentages advertised without method should not be trusted.
Yes. Healing Door treats women in separate accommodation, with female staff involvement and complete confidentiality. Families can discuss every arrangement first.
Medical detox, psychiatric assessment, medication where needed, counselling, CBT and motivational interviewing, family therapy, plus aftercare planning.

Yes. Visits are planned with the treating team so they support treatment; during early detox the team may advise a short settling period first. Exact days are confirmed at admission.
