Drug and Rehabilitation
We live in a world dominated by half-truths and hearsay as a result of social media, as well as stress largely because of the need for immediate gratification. Few would argue that our moral fabric and ethics frameworks have been impacted.
So how does this link up with drug and rehabilitation?
At the Eagles View Wellness and Rehabilitation Centre, we have always highlighted the value of honesty. It is only through honesty that we can all arrive at a point where true, effective intervention and treatment can take place.
Another stark reality is that drug and rehabilitation are inextricably linked. It is not unusual for a drug addict to dismiss the notion of rehabilitation… the reality of having to take control and responsibility for one’s own action can be daunting.
We are not only discussing physical rehabilitation here, but mental and spiritual realignment as well.
When you approach addiction as a disease, you come to realise that comprehensive treatment boosts an addict’s chances of making it through rehabilitation and beginning a new life.
Comprehensive therapeutic amenities
Eagles View Wellness and Rehabilitation Centre is unique because of the extent of its therapeutic offering and its onsite amenities.
We have everything needed to offer drug addicts the best chance of regaining control of their lives.
In addition, we are privileged to have the services of highly trained medical staff, including an onsite psychiatrist and psychologist, along with an occupational therapist and onsite addiction councillors.
Drug and rehabilitation is down to a chronic, relapsing disorder with compulsive drug seeking and use despite consequences.
Behaviours to look out for include:
- Compulsive drug seeking and use.
- Neglecting responsibilities and relationships.
- Sudden financial problems or frequent borrowing of money.
- Changes in behaviour or mood.
- Withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug.
- Secretive behaviour or lying about drug use.
Drug and Rehabilitation - Treatment
Drug addiction treatment entails detoxification, counselling, behavioural therapies, support groups, medication-assisted treatment.
When it comes to drug and rehabilitation, we place a premium on family involvement to support addicts. This is a crucial aspect of our all-round treatment and therapy.
Our advice to families out there who may be experiencing the impact of drug addiction is to watch out for warning signs in behaviour, and consider treatment.
