Doctar's doctor information includes qualifications, clinical experience, ratings, consultation fees, practice locations and availability. For a de-addiction-focused comparison, relevant psychiatric experience and evidence of addiction or substance-use treatment are more useful than rating alone. No doctor should be presented as “best” solely because of a paid placement or an unverified claim.
The profiles used here are live Doctar listings, and the information can change as doctors update their profiles, fees, ratings or availability. Patients should check the current profile before booking.
The following doctors have Doctar profiles showing psychiatric experience relevant to substance-use or de-addiction care. The table is a comparison of currently available profile information rather than a claim that one doctor is clinically superior to another.
Doctor | Experience | Rating | Hospital / Practice | Consultation Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Dr. Prof Col Pradyot Sarkar | 42 years | 4.7★, 6 reviews | Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals; Ohio Hospital; Apollo Multispeciality Hospital; Beliaghata I.D & B.G Hospital | ₹1,000 |
Dr. Madhurima Ghosh | 11 years | 0★, 0 reviews | Apex Institute of Medical Science | ₹500 |
Dr. ARINDAM MONDAL | 30 years | 4.5★, 5 reviews | Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals; Apollo Multispeciality Hospital | ₹1,200 |
Dr. Soumen Karmakar | 13 years | 4.7★, 5 reviews | National Neurosciences Centre | ₹500 |
Doctar lists Dr. Prof Col Pradyot Sarkar as an MBBS, M.D. (Psychiatry) psychiatrist with 42 years of experience and specific de-addiction services in his profile. His Doctar profile shows a 4.7-star rating from 6 reviews and a ₹1,000 consultation fee.
Dr. Madhurima Ghosh is listed with MD (Psychiatry), 11 years of experience and treatment of substance-use disorders. Her profile also describes specialised exposure including de-addiction psychiatry training at NIMHANS and PGI Rohtak. The listed consultation fee is ₹500, with no reviews currently displayed.
Dr. ARINDAM MONDAL is listed with MBBS, M.D. (Psychiatry), 30 years of experience, a 4.5-star rating from 5 reviews and a ₹1,200 consultation fee. His listed practice locations include Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals and Apollo Multispeciality Hospital.
Dr. Soumen Karmakar is listed with MBBS, M.D. (Psychiatry) and DNB-Psychiatry, 13 years of experience, a 4.7-star rating from 5 reviews and a ₹500 consultation fee. His profile lists National Neurosciences Centre as his practice location.
Among the selected Kolkata psychiatrist profiles relevant to addiction and substance-use care, listed consultation fees range from ₹500 to ₹1,200. The doctors compared above have between 11 and 42 years of listed experience. These figures are profile-level information and should not be interpreted as a city-wide average for de-addiction treatment.
De-addiction treatment costs can differ from the initial consultation fee because treatment may involve follow-up psychiatric consultations, counselling, medication management or structured rehabilitation depending on the individual's condition. The current consultation fee should always be confirmed from the doctor's live Doctar profile before booking.
De-addiction psychiatry focuses on substance-use disorders and problematic substance use. Doctar's psychiatrist profiles identify substance-use disorders among the conditions treated by psychiatrists.
A de-addiction consultation may be appropriate when a person has difficulty controlling substance use, repeatedly tries to stop but relapses, experiences cravings or develops problems in work, relationships or daily functioning because of substance use.
The appropriate treatment depends on the substance involved, duration and pattern of use, withdrawal risk, physical health and any co-existing psychiatric conditions. A psychiatrist can assess these factors and determine whether outpatient care, medication, counselling or a higher level of supervised treatment is appropriate.
Doctar has psychiatrist listings across several Kolkata localities. Current profiles relevant to this page include Salt Lake, Dum Dum, New Alipore, Mukundapur and areas around Fortis Hospital Main Road.

The live directory should be used for the latest locality listings because doctors, consultation fees and appointment availability can change.
Doctar currently shows a 4.7-star rating from 6 reviews for Dr. Prof Col Pradyot Sarkar and 4.7 stars from 5 reviews for Dr. Soumen Karmakar. Dr. ARINDAM MONDAL has 4.5 stars from 5 reviews, while Dr. Madhurima Ghosh currently has no reviews displayed.
Because the number of reviews is relatively small for these profiles, the ratings should be treated as one comparison factor rather than definitive evidence of treatment effectiveness. No individual patient quotations or testimonials are reproduced here.
There is no clinically verified basis for declaring one psychiatrist the single best de-addiction specialist in Kolkata. Doctar currently lists psychiatrists with relevant substance-use or de-addiction experience, including Dr. Prof Col Pradyot Sarkar, whose profile specifically mentions de-addiction services, and Dr. Madhurima Ghosh, whose profile includes addiction/de-addiction psychiatry experience.
Current Doctar profiles used for this comparison show consultation fees ranging from ₹500 to ₹1,200. Dr. Madhurima Ghosh and Dr. Soumen Karmakar are listed at ₹500, Dr. Prof Col Pradyot Sarkar at ₹1,000 and Dr. ARINDAM MONDAL at ₹1,200. Fees may change, so verify the live profile before booking.
Doctar specifically describes Dr. Prof Col Pradyot Sarkar as providing de-addiction services and lists him as an MBBS, M.D. (Psychiatry) psychiatrist with 42 years of experience. Dr. Madhurima Ghosh's profile also describes addiction/de-addiction psychiatry experience and treatment of substance-use disorders.
Psychiatrists can assess and manage substance-use disorders as part of psychiatric care. Doctar's Kolkata psychiatrist profiles identify substance-use disorders among conditions managed by psychiatrists, while individual treatment depends on the substance involved, withdrawal risk, medical history and co-existing mental-health conditions.
A de-addiction consultation generally involves discussing the person's substance use, pattern of consumption, previous attempts to stop, withdrawal experiences, physical health and mental-health symptoms. The clinician can then determine an appropriate treatment approach. The exact assessment and treatment plan depend on the individual's clinical circumstances.
Some Kolkata psychiatrists listed on Doctar offer online or video consultations. For example, the profiles of Dr. Madhurima Ghosh and Dr. Prof Col Pradyot Sarkar state that online consultations are available through the Doctar platform. Patients should check the live profile for current online appointment availability.
Professional help should be considered when substance use becomes difficult to control, repeatedly causes problems, produces significant cravings, leads to repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop or affects daily functioning. Urgent medical assessment is especially important when stopping a substance may cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms or when severe physical or psychiatric symptoms develop.
Compare relevant psychiatric qualifications, addiction or substance-use experience, consultation fees, verified ratings, practice location and appointment availability. For de-addiction care, experience with substance-use disorders is particularly relevant. Doctar profiles can help compare these details, but the final choice should be based on clinical suitability and the patient's individual needs.
This page is for doctor discovery and general health information. It does not diagnose substance-use disorders or recommend a particular medicine, rehabilitation programme or treatment plan. Consultation fees, ratings, doctor availability and practice locations can change; confirm current details on the live Doctar profile before booking.
