Drug rehabs in Jhb all have similar treatment options, and you may be wondering which ones have a good success rate. The truth is that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to recovery for individuals with a substance abuse disorder. ARCA drug rehabs in Jhb and Durban offer a tailored treatment plan according to the patient’s individual requirements.
Inpatient Treatment
An intensive type treatment option that lasts on average 31 days. Starting with medical detox up to between 5 to 7 days, depending on the patients needs. Inpatient programs offer one-on-one counseling, group therapy and cognitive behavior therapy with qualified therapists and social workers.
Outpatient Treatment
An outpatient program is beneficial for individuals who are high functioning addicts and require therapy after hours. This option is suitable for individuals that already have encouragement and strong support through family or friends.
Medical Detox
ARCA rehabs use the best anti-craving medication during the medicated assisted therapy (MAT). Medication helps to ease the process from using to recovery treatment in an inpatient or outpatient program.
Aftercare Assistance
Recovery is a process that doesn’t just end, it is for life. There are many aftercare options available, such as:
- Halfway Houses – a home away from home where recovering addicts can live and go on with daily routines with support from others in recovery. There are rules and regulations to follow and weekly drug tests are done.
- Family Meetings – the best way forward for anyone in recovery is to have their family on board. Family meetings help to transition the family post rehab and gain a support system that benefits everyone.
- NA/AA meetings – for those who require ongoing support from others in recovery. NA/AA meetings help the individual to share and gain insight into addictive behaviors through a 12 step program. The program is free and there are online meetings available.
