About Nest

NEST the Village of Comfort offers a unique approach to addiction treatment, combining evidence-based therapies with holistic care and spiritual support. Our programs are designed to address the root causes of addiction, repair the damage caused by substance abuse, and equip individuals with the tools they need to maintain long-term recovery. With a focus on personal responsibility, integrity, and mutual respect, we create an environment where our patients can heal, grow, and build a foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life. Our Faith-Based Therapy at NEST De-addiction Center in Thrissur combines traditional therapeutic practices with spiritual guidance and religious principles to support individuals in their recovery journey. This holistic approach recognizes the importance of spiritual well-being in achieving and maintaining sobriety.

Who We Are

“Those who drink this water will get thirsty again, but those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life.”
-John 4;13

We thirst to satisfy our needs. If the needs are not satisfied, we use a negative coping up mechanism. Jesus the friend of addicts calls you to drink from Him. Only Jesus can satisfy the human heart; His Spirit is the real solution. Addiction is healed by a divine addiction; thirst for the life-giving water from Jesus. I wish the flow of life-giving waters from the sacred heart of Jesus Christ to every one of us.

Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid”
-John 14;27

Nest is the place a person receives the Son of God’s Peace & Spirit. You are called here to receive this gift of peace, from the Prince of Peace. This peace and spirit give us total healing in this world and also gives us everlasting joy. Wish you all God’s Spirit and peace.

"I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance"
– Luke 5:32.

Attitude of this institution is the attitude of Jesus. He loves sinners and hates sins. Jesus’s focus is not on the sinfulness of man but on the sonship in them. NEST treats not only addiction but also treats them with the dignity of sons of God. Be aware and focus that you are sons of God. NEST will illuminate you to reveal your real worth. Be worthy, as Jesus gives.

Our Journey

For 17 years, NEST has been a beacon of hope, compassion, and healing for those struggling with addiction. Rooted in the teachings of the Christ, the center has touched the lives of countless individuals, offering not only professional care and support but also spiritual guidance to help them find lasting recovery.

Over nearly two decades, the center has grown into a place where people battling addiction experience holistic healing—body, mind, and soul. Through a combination of counseling, group therapy, and the transformative power of prayer, the center has helped individuals reconnect with their faith and rediscover their purpose in life. The sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation, are central to the healing process, offering a path to spiritual renewal and inner peace.

The journey of recovery at the center has been marked by a deep commitment to compassionate care, understanding, and unwavering faith. Through the support of dedicated staff, volunteers, and the prayers of the community, the center has built a strong network of recovery, showing that with God’s grace, all things are possible.

As we reflect on these 17 years of journey, we celebrate the countless lives transformed, families restored, and hearts healed. With gratitude and hope, we look forward to continuing this mission of love and healing for many years to come, trusting in God’s providence and the power of redemption.
