De-addiction centre licensing rules, state by state

All 28 states and 8 union territories, one guide each: the registering authority, whether dedicated de-addiction rules exist beyond the national Mental Healthcare Act process, and the exact steps to follow, with official government links.

Where to start: if you have not read it yet, the national guide covers the laws that apply everywhere in India (MHCA, NDPS, clinical establishment registration, NAPDDR funding) before you narrow down to your specific state.

Once the licence is granted, the real work starts

Every state guide above points to the same follow-on problem: keeping the NDPS register, MHCA forms, and patient records inspection-ready long after opening day. MindFlow's de-addiction module builds that record-keeping into the normal clinical workflow instead of a separate paper file.
