Janer nasha mukti kendra, and the other options in Moga.
ਮੋਗਾ ਜ਼ਿਲ੍ਹੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਸ਼ਾ ਛੁਡਾਉਣ ਦੇ ਰਾਹ
A lot of people in Moga district search for the Janer centre by name. This page explains what that centre is, what a government centre gives you, and what a family should weigh up before deciding. It is written by Aasra, which is a different centre.
Please read this first. This page is published by Aasra Drug Counselling and Rehabilitation Centre, a private government approved centre at Korewala Road, Daroli Bhai, Moga. We are not the Janer centre and we are not connected to it. The Janer centre is run under the Red Cross. If you were looking for their office, please contact the District Red Cross Society or the Civil Surgeon office, Moga, for their correct number.
What people mean by the Janer centre
Janer is a village in Moga district. When people in this area say Janer nasha mukti kendra, or write it as juner, jner or janjeer, they are almost always talking about the Red Cross run drug de-addiction cum rehabilitation centre associated with Moga district. It is one of the oldest known de-addiction facilities in the district and a lot of local families know it simply by the name of the village.
We are not going to publish its phone number or address on this page. Wrong numbers for that centre are floating around on several listing websites, and two of the biggest ones even show a Gurdaspur pin code against a Moga address. If we cannot verify it, we will not print it. Ask at the district Red Cross office or at the civil hospital and you will get the correct details.
Government centre or private centre
This is the real question behind most of these searches, so here is a straight comparison. Neither column is the right answer for everybody.
| Cost | A government or Red Cross centre is free or close to free. A private centre charges. This is usually the deciding factor and there is no shame in it. |
|---|---|
| Waiting | Government beds fill up. There can be a wait. A private centre can normally admit the same day. |
| Length of stay | Government detox admissions are often short, sometimes ten to fifteen days. Full rehabilitation needs longer. |
| Psychiatrist | Government centres draw on the district mental health programme. In a private centre it depends entirely on the centre. Many have no psychiatrist at all. |
| Number of patients per staff member | Government centres carry heavy load. A smaller centre can give more attention, if it is an honest one. |
Our honest advice. If money is the problem, go to the government route first. Punjab runs Outpatient Opioid Assisted Treatment clinics free of cost, and the district hospital handles detox. That help is real and a lot of people have got better through it. Do not let anybody, including us, talk you out of a free option you can actually reach.
When a family needs a residential centre instead
Outpatient treatment works when the person can go home at night and not use. It stops working when the supply is inside the village and he cannot walk past it.
Families usually start looking for a residential centre when one of these is true.
- He has relapsed after two or three attempts at stopping at home.
- Money or things from the house are going missing.
- There are fits, or he cannot sleep at all without the drug.
- He refuses treatment and the family cannot manage him.
- There is depression or something more going on than the drug alone.
In those situations the person needs a few months away from the supply, with medical supervision. That is what a residential kendra is for.

We charge. We are not going to pretend otherwise on a page about a free centre. What you get for it is a psychiatrist on staff, a bed today rather than in three weeks, and a longer programme. Whether that is worth it is your call, and it depends on how many times you have already tried.
