Unfortunately, due to the stigma around addiction, rehab can have a negative perception attached to it, which may deter people from initiating the process. What we aim to do in this article is to outline some of the aspects of an in-patient program as a way of preparing potential clients and their families for the recovery process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Detox and\nWithdrawal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the type and quantity of the substances\nthat a client has used, he\/she will undergo a detox process as the body\nwithdraws from the effects of drugs and alcohol. The extent of this detox\nvaries from person-to-person. What you can expect is that a medical physician\nwill be appointed to the client, to monitor their wellbeing and ensure that the\nphysical side effects of withdrawal can be overcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Information\nSessions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clients who book into rehabilitation centres will be empowered through knowledge around aspects such as the disease theory of addiction, what life in recovery entails as well as the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual impact of addiction. During these sessions, clients will have a chance to engage with their peers and ask questions in an open and inclusive forum. Awareness alone however, is not the key to long-term recovery, which is why rehabilitation centres take a multi-pronged approach to treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One-on-One\nCounselling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every client is assigned a counsellor at the onset of\nhis\/her treatment process. That counsellor will guide the client through the\nrecovery process, talk about deep-seated issues and help to unpack their\naddictive thought patterns. Clients respond differently to counselling. While\nsome may be resistant to the process, it quickly becomes clear that opening up\nand sharing with someone who can be trusted, is integral to getting and feeling\nbetter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Group therapy involves a counsellor or group facilitator\nhosting a session in which clients are invited to participate. Active\nparticipation is encouraged. In this environment, clients can challenge each\nother, share their experience and learn from the experience of others. Group\ntherapy has proven extremely effective in the treatment of addiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Introduction to\nthe 12-Step Fellowships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After treatment, one of the most effective ways of\nstaying clean and sober and finding a new way of life, is found in the rooms of\nNarcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. South Africa has strong\nfellowships within NA and AA, with members who are readily available to provide\nfree support for people who have entered recovery. Rehabilitation centres will\nensure that clients attend these meetings during treatment in order to start\nbuilding valuable connections with others in recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These aspects of the rehabilitation process are not exhaustive. Our programme is comprehensive and based on years of experience and collective expertise in the field.
