Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) Center

Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) Center, a project established under National AIDS Control Program (NACP) at Department of Psychiatry, BRD Medical College, on 22.10.2013, is a 6 member team led by the Head of the Psychiatry Department, Dr. Tapas Kumar Aich.

It carries out the function of daily dispensing oral Buprenorphine substitution tablets to formerly injectable opioid-drug users (IDU). The center runs 365 days a year, opening from 9 AM to 4 PM and is associated with local NGO Jyoti Gramin Kalyan Sansthan, which is the source of IDU referral. So far, 246 IDUs have been registered with the center, and the average daily attendance is 90 IDU clients.

Other than receiving Buprenorphine substitution, clients also receive medical advice on IDU-related as well as non-related matters and are simultaneously treated or referred to the respective departments. Goal of OST program is Harm Reduction among Injection Drug Users, a particularly HIV transmission-prone group, by converting them from illicit drug users to licit users. It makes them more acceptable in society, lessens the economic drug-use burden of nation and prevents an individual's most productive years of life from being spent on drug use.

RTMS (REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION)

RTMS machine has been recently brought in our psychiatry department. It is present only in few colleges in our state and B.R.D Medical College is one of them. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation in which a changing magnetic field is used to cause electric current at a specific area of the brain through electromagnetic induction.

It is a promising treatment for people with resistant depression, neuropathic pain, resistant OCD and resistant headache.
