In this fast-paced society, the need for effective, comprehensive rehabilitation centers has never been greater. These centers provide crucial medical and psychological treatment, adopting a holistic approach that addresses the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of clients. One such center is Samarpan, a reputed rehab in Pune, Maharashtra. With Martin Peters at the helm, Samarpan delivers client-focused, customized care. Peters has over two decades of experience and was instrumental in developing global hubs, with a recovery-oriented culture. Martin Peters started working on addiction recovery and mental health in the early 1990s because he wanted to assist others.
