About the programme

When a partner’s substance use, gambling or other harmful behaviours affect daily life, the impact can be exhausting. This programme supports affected partners with reflection, safer boundaries, support options and informed choices; it does not treat addiction or make the affected partner responsible for curing it.

Who it is for

For an adult affected by a partner’s substance use, gambling or other addictive behaviour who wants clarity, boundaries and support options. The programme is for the affected person, not treatment for the partner.

Suggested structure and duration

8 paid sessions, each approximately 60 minutes. Suggested pace: usually weekly, with scheduling adjusted to the participant’s needs and availability. The count is a proposed programme design, not a previously approved or contracted package.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to bring my spouse?

Not necessarily. The suitability of individual or joint sessions depends on the programme, safety and each person’s voluntary consent.

Will I be told what decision to make?

No. MDR Mentor helps you explore your choices; you retain responsibility for your decisions.

Is this therapy or legal advice?

No. This is non-clinical relationship mentoring and education. Medical, mental-health, legal and addiction needs require qualified professionals.

Can I book one session first?

Yes. A separate 60-minute paid introductory session is available for ₹1,000 to discuss your concerns and programme fit.

Important programme boundaries

MDR Mentor provides non-clinical relationship mentoring and education, not medical consultation, psychotherapy, clinical counselling, addiction treatment, legal advice or emergency response. The founder’s medical qualification does not create a doctor–patient relationship. Safety and consent come first; joint work may be inappropriate where there is violence, intimidation or coercive control. Seek qualified services for urgent safety, mental-health, child-protection, addiction, financial or legal concerns.
