Recognition for Mental Health and Wellness

The award recognises Jagruti’s work in mental health, de-addiction and rehabilitation services. The organisation has been working in this field for more than 18 years and has expanded its network to more than 17 centres across India. Its services include psychiatric rehabilitation and addiction recovery care.

The recognition comes at a time when mental health care is receiving greater attention in India. Healthcare providers are increasingly focusing on early treatment, professional psychiatric support, counselling and long-term rehabilitation rather than treating mental health concerns only during emergencies.

Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre’s Care Model

Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre says its clinical approach is based on the needs of individual patients. Its network includes full-time psychiatrists and multidisciplinary teams that support people dealing with mental health conditions, substance use disorders and other rehabilitation needs. The organisation has said that its model is designed to maintain clinical standards across its different centres.

Daily psychiatric reviews are part of the care approach described for its centres. This can be particularly important in cases involving withdrawal or acute psychiatric conditions, where a patient’s condition may change quickly and treatment may need to be adjusted.

The organisation currently describes itself as having more than 17 centres, over 1,400 beds and more than 40 doctors across its network. These figures are based on information published by Jagruti about its current operations.

How the ET Healthcare Awards Selected Winners

The ET Healthcare Awards 2026 included several categories covering different areas of healthcare. The official winners list shows national and regional awards across diagnostics, clinical services, mental health, physiotherapy and other healthcare fields. Jagruti was named the national winner in Excellence in Clinical Services – Mental Health & Wellness.

Reports on the 2026 awards state that nominees were assessed through a two-tier jury process. The evaluation considered areas such as innovation, implementation and impact on India’s healthcare environment.

The Mental Health & Wellness category focuses on clinical psychology services, personalised care, psychological support and approaches that aim to improve patient well-being.

Focus on Long-Term Rehabilitation

Mental health care can involve different forms of support depending on a person’s condition. Psychiatric treatment may include medical assessment and medicines, while psychological care can include counselling and therapy. Rehabilitation focuses on helping people regain or maintain daily functioning and build skills needed for longer-term recovery.

De-addiction care is another important part of Jagruti’s work. People recovering from substance use disorders may require medical supervision, psychological support and structured rehabilitation. Some patients may also have mental health conditions alongside addiction, making coordinated care important.

Jagruti has described its approach as an integrated model covering psychiatric conditions, addiction and rehabilitation. Its current network information also highlights round-the-clock nursing and medical support along with full-time psychiatric teams.

Expanding Mental Healthcare Services

The award also comes as healthcare organisations in India continue to expand specialised mental health services. Jagruti has indicated plans to open additional centres and develop its technology infrastructure as its network grows. The organisation says maintaining consistent clinical practices across locations will remain an important part of this expansion.

The national recognition places attention on the growing role of structured mental health, addiction recovery and rehabilitation services in India’s healthcare system. Jagruti’s award specifically recognises its work under the Mental Health & Wellness category at the ET Healthcare Awards 2026.
