Rajasthan runs a genuinely functional, live online system for Mental Health Establishment registration, the most transparent of any state covered in this guide series so far, alongside a separate general clinical establishment registration regime. There is no dedicated NDPS-linked de-addiction statute here; the Mental Healthcare Act route is the primary track.
Rajasthan is one of only 19 states and Union Territories nationally to have adopted the central Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, doing so through its own Rajasthan Government Clinical Establishment (Registration and Regulation) Rules, 2013. In practice this means: register with your district's registering authority under the Medical & Health Department, provisional registration is valid for one year and must be renewed before expiry, and the application form itself asks you to specify your facility type (hospital, nursing home, maternity home, primary or community health centre, sanatorium, day care centre), bed count, and any outpatient, laboratory or diagnostic services offered.
Typical processing runs 30 to 90 days once your application and physical inspection are complete, though the full stack of related approvals (fire NOC, biomedical waste authorisation, pharmacy licence) can push the realistic timeline to several months.
Separately, Rajasthan's Right to Health Care Act, 2022 guarantees free outpatient and inpatient services at public health facilities and, in some circumstances, at select private facilities too. It isn't a de-addiction-specific law, but it's a distinctive piece of Rajasthan's healthcare regulatory landscape worth being aware of if your centre might be drawn into that private-facility obligation.
The Rajasthan State Mental Health Authority (RSMHA) was constituted under Sections 45 and 46 of the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017, by Government Order No. F()NHM/NMHP/SNO/Rules & Regulations/2024(SMHA)/110, dated 6 September 2024. Its official page sits inside the Medical, Health & Family Welfare Department's website, under the Food Safety and Drug Control Commissionerate section, alongside the state's Drugs and Cosmetics Act and NDPS Act resources.
Ex-officio members (8): Additional Chief Secretary / Principal Secretary / Secretary of Health as Chairperson; Mission Director, National Health Mission as Chief Executive Officer; Director of Medical & Health Services as Member Secretary; plus Joint Secretaries of Social Welfare and Empowerment, Home, Finance and Law, and the Superintendent of the Psychiatry Centre, Jaipur.
Non-official members (10): a named eminent psychiatrist, a mental health professional, a psychiatric social worker, a clinical psychologist, a mental health nurse, a person with lived experience of mental illness, two caregiver representatives, and two representatives of NGOs providing services to persons with mental illness, all appointed by name with their institutional affiliation.
Its registration system is actually live and usable online, not a set of static PDFs. The RSMHA "Establishment" section provides four working tools:
Submitted online.
Live status checker.
A public, paginated, searchable directory of every provisionally registered facility.
Lookup tool.
As of this guide's research, the public list included entries such as Bhagwan Mahaveer Psychiatric and De-Addiction Centre (Hathoj, Kalwar Road, Jaipur, 20 beds) and Rahat Hospital Manorog Nasha Mukti Manav Seva Sanstha (Village Dhand, Tehsil Amer, District Jaipur, 30 beds), alongside a larger number of general psychiatric ("Manorog") hospitals and medical college psychiatry departments across Jaipur, Bikaner, Sikar, Udaipur, Alwar, Sriganganagar, Bharatpur and Hanumangarh. These are cited solely as directory-format examples, not endorsements.
Registration numbers follow the format PCJ/TA/SMHA/MHE Pro.Reg/[year]/[serial], and provisional registrations run for a fixed one-year term (most current entries at the time of research were dated 12 January 2026 to 11 January 2027, meaning RSMHA processed a large batch of renewals or new registrations in January 2026). This gives you a genuinely useful reference: you can look up whether a specific competitor or referral partner is actually registered, something that isn't possible from the outside in most other states covered in this series.
There's no Rajasthan-specific de-addiction centre statute layered on top of the NDPS Act here, so a centre dispensing buprenorphine or another controlled substance operates under the general NDPS Act, 1985 and Schedule H1 framework, the same one that applies by default anywhere without a dedicated state law like Punjab's or Haryana's.
One genuinely Rajasthan-specific detail: the Central Bureau of Narcotics runs one of only three regional Deputy Narcotics Commissioner field offices in the country at Kota, alongside Neemuch (Madhya Pradesh) and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh). This office supervises opium-cultivation licensing and the Preventive and Intelligence Cell for Rajasthan under the NDPS Rules, and channels the Narcotics Commissioner's allocation of medicinal opium to state excise authorities for registered opium addicts under Section 71 of the NDPS Act. Rajasthan, alongside Madhya Pradesh, is one of India's two legal opium-poppy-cultivating states, so this administrative infrastructure is more developed here than in most states, relevant if opium maintenance or opium-dependent patients feature in your practice specifically.
The scale of the enforcement backdrop is worth knowing. In just the first four months of 2026, Rajasthan Police reported seizing drugs worth roughly Rs 634.75 crore, registering 190 cases and arresting 303 traffickers, with the trade reported to be spreading beyond the traditional border districts into areas like Jodhpur and Jalore. Separately, the state Excise Department's month-long crackdown in May 2026 registered over 2,000 cases and made 916 arrests for illicit liquor production, destroying more than 5.5 lakh litres of raw "wash." Neither of these speaks directly to de-addiction centre licensing, but they indicate a state government and law-enforcement apparatus under real and growing pressure on the substance-use front, context that helps explain why RSMHA's registration activity has been as brisk as the directory shows.
If you're structuring as an NGO seeking grant-in-aid rather than running privately, the route is the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment's National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction, the same central scheme available nationally.
Rajasthan's NAPDDR footprint, per the most recent official Lok Sabha data reviewed (March 2022): 17 Integrated Rehabilitation Centres for Addicts (IRCAs), 5 Community-based Peer-Led Intervention centres (CPLIs), and 7 Outreach and Drop-In Centres (ODICs), 29 centrally supported facilities in total. Nationally, that scheme has expanded considerably since, from 507 NAPDDR-supported facilities in 2022 to a reported 768 drug de-addiction and rehabilitation centres across the country as of April 2026, so Rajasthan's current count is very likely higher than the 2022 snapshot.
The Rajasthan State Mental Health Authority (RSMHA), constituted on 6 September 2024 under Sections 45 and 46 of the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017. Applications, status checks, and the full list of registered establishments are all available online at rajswasthya.rajasthan.gov.in.
Yes, for any facility providing inpatient medical care. Rajasthan is one of only 19 states and UTs to have adopted the central Clinical Establishments Act, 2010, through its own Rajasthan Government Clinical Establishment (Registration and Regulation) Rules, 2013. Provisional registration is valid one year and must be renewed.
Yes. RSMHA runs a public, searchable, paginated Registered Mental Health Establishments List online, along with a Find Your MHE Registration Number lookup tool. This is genuinely useful for checking a competitor, referral partner, or acquisition target.
No. A centre dispensing buprenorphine or another controlled substance in Rajasthan operates under the general NDPS Act, 1985 and Schedule H1 framework, coordinated through the Food Safety and Drug Control Commissionerate, Rajasthan.
Provisional registration runs for a fixed one-year term. Most current entries in the public directory at the time of research were dated 12 January 2026 to 11 January 2027, suggesting RSMHA processed a large batch of renewals or new registrations that January. Build renewal into your compliance calendar from day one.
Yes. The Central Bureau of Narcotics runs one of only three regional Deputy Narcotics Commissioner field offices in the country at Kota, alongside Neemuch and Lucknow, supervising opium-cultivation licensing and channelling medicinal opium allocations for registered opium addicts under Section 71 of the NDPS Act. Rajasthan is one of India's two legal opium-poppy-cultivating states.
A distinctive state law guaranteeing free outpatient and inpatient services at public health facilities and, in some circumstances, select private facilities. It isn't de-addiction-specific, but is worth knowing since your centre could potentially be drawn into that private-facility obligation.
Yes, through NAPDDR. Per the most recent official Lok Sabha data reviewed (March 2022), Rajasthan had 29 centrally supported facilities: 17 IRCAs, 5 CPLIs and 7 ODICs. The national total has grown substantially since, so Rajasthan's current count is very likely higher.
Registration gets you the licence. The NDPS dispensing log, MHCA forms and RSMHA renewal cycle are what keep it. MindFlow builds all of that into your normal clinical workflow.
See the de-addiction suite →Informational, not legal advice. Reflects publicly available sources as of August 2026, including a live government registry that changes continuously as new applications are processed, so specific entries, registration numbers and validity dates will have moved on by the time you read this; treat the directory link itself, not the examples quoted here, as the current source of truth. Confirm current requirements directly with the Rajasthan State Mental Health Authority, the Food Safety and Drug Control Commissionerate, and a lawyer qualified in Indian health and narcotics law before making licensing or investment decisions.
