Amit Karekar – Founder & Counselor, Turning Point

Often the brightest light is found beyond the darkest tunnel. Our founder, Amit’s story is a testimony to this saying. With sheer belief in humanity and ‘live and let live’ ideology, he has established Turning Point Rehab to be a safe haven for all the souls who have lost themselves to substance abuse. From being a mediocre student in school and a dropout of engineering college, to being a sportsman at heart and a keenly gifted creative artist, the part of Amit’s journey that really stands out and makes him what he is today, is his recovery from addiction. Amit says that he never really knew what it is like to be free until he experienced freedom from intoxication.

At present day, he illumines the lives of hundreds of addicts by providing them with a pleasant, healing setting and creating an atmosphere that nurtures love, care and compassion in them. Even today at the centre, each of our clients instantly feel comfortable in the presence of Amit, who knows and understands each of them on a personal level. Amit not only wants to share the realisations he had in the process of his own recovery, but he also wants other addicts to experience it and find the right way out. Thus, he strives to create refreshhing, unconventional methods to tackle drug dependency, making recovery a mirthful experience while keeping it immensely effective at the same time.
