What Does a Drug Recovery Treatment Programme Entail?

09 July, 2020Articles, News

Recovery from addiction in any form is a process that cannot be done in isolation. That’s a lesson that many recovering addicts have come to learn and appreciate. For many, recovery begins with going through a rehabilitation process that may involve a recovery treatment programme.

It is often the case that clients arrive at treatment centres with a preconceived notion about what rehabilitation is. Many of them feel fearful and apprehensive about the process. While it is true that indeed it can be a challenging process, many addicts also find it to be an enlightening and uplifting process – one that could indeed change the course of their lives.

At Crossroads Recovery Centres, we apply a range of therapeutic methodologies in the treatment of addiction, but at the crux of our recovery treatment programme, is the Narcotics Anonymous programme which includes 12 fundamental steps. These steps form the basis of a new way of life for many recovery addicts. They include coming to understand one’s powerlessness against addiction in any form, taking inventory of aspects such as guilt, shame and resentment and making amends to people whom the addict may have hurt.

The 12 steps offer a simple, spiritual, not religious way to recover from drug addiction, one day at a time. As part of the recovery treatment programme at Crossroads Recovery Centres, we ensure that clients are introduced to the 12 steps during their stay.

We recommend a minimum stay of 28 days, during which clients will be expected to complete the first 3 steps in writing, as well as a life story. Clients who stay for an additional 28 days will be expected to complete steps 4 to 8. Finally, clients who stay for the full duration of 84 days, will complete all 12 steps as part of the programme.

Upon leaving the treatment centre, clients will have the option of attending 12-step meetings that are relevant to their particular addiction. In this regard, there are a number 12-step fellowships around the world for various kinds of addictions like drugs, sex, gambling and food addiction.

The encouragement, love and support from the team at Crossroads allowed me to eventually see that I was worth something - that my life could be turned around and that I could accomplish the things that had long been a forgotten dream.

On the last day of my stint at Crossroads I could only express gratitude towards all who works there. A wise councillor once commented on my question when one is ready for rehab by explaining that when one is ready for rehab, rehab is ready for you.

I was lost and my soul was broken until I ended up at Crossroads and was introduced to the Twelve Steps. With the help of their excellent staff and amazing support I have recently been clean for 18 months, I could not have done it without them!

Are There Drug Rehabilitation Centres in Gauteng?

04 June, 2020Articles, News

Like many other parts of the world, South Africa is faced with a growing drug addiction problem. Year on year, the statistics continue to show that drug addiction effects not only the lives of those who are addicted, but their families, friends and associates. It is not uncommon to hear that the majority of South Africans will either be directly or indirectly affected by the disease of addiction in their lifetimes. Fortunately, advancements in technology and the ubiquitous nature of social media means that more and more people can be made aware of the fact that reha b ilitation from addiction is both possible and effective.

In Gauteng specifically, one of the most well-equipped and efficiently staffed drug rehabilitation centres is Crossroads Recovery Centre. This rehab facility is situated in the green belt of Boskruin in the north of Johannesburg. Its close proximity to the idyllic Boschkop Nature Reserve makes it the ideal place to take a break from the stressors and pressures of life to focus on recovering on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.

The double storey villa that is located on the property can accommodate up to 17 patients comfortably, with access to recreational spaces. The rehabilitation centre itself is equipped with ample individual and group therapy rooms as well as spaces for workshops and other therapeutic activities. The main lounge features a cosy fireplace and there is a large table tennis area on the patio, where clients can relax, socialise and recover in a space that is safe, secure and conducive to wellbeing.

At Crossroads Recovery Centres, the therapeutic staff recommends a minimum stay of 28 days. During this time, clients will be expected to finish the first 3 steps of the their relevant 12-step programme. The 12 steps are widely applicable to a range of addictions including drugs, alcohol, sex, love and gambling. Clients will also complete their life story and share it with the group – a task that may seem daunting but is imperative in dealing with issues of the past in order to move forwards towards a fully-functional future. Ideally, clients in the rehabilitation programme will stay at the facility longer and build a solid foundation upon which they can find a new way to live in the world, clean and sober.
