Addiction Rehabilitation Requires A Holistic Approach

Since as far back as the 1970s scientific research has shown that effective addiction rehabilitation treatment attends multiple needs of the addict and not just his or her drug abuse. Medically assisted detoxification, for example, has been shown to only be really helpful as part of the first stage of addiction rehabilitation, while not helping much to change long-term drug abuse.

While medical assistance is certainly invaluable and initial detoxification is an absolutely vital part of the process, additional means of therapy are required in order to achieve successful addiction rehabilitation.

Different people might require slightly different approaches, but some of the treatments and facilities that have proven to be extremely successful and much needed during addiction rehabilitation, include psychology sessions, recreational exercises including outdoor activities, and spiritual support. It’s a haven devoid of temptation with a tranquil atmosphere.

An addiction to a substance affects various different aspects of a human being, with obvious physical implications that do require professional medical care. There is also a large psychological aspect that can affect people in many and varied ways.

This include a belief that they need the drug, that they aren't worthy of a normal life and often guilt that is associated with the dependency on drugs. Furthermore many of these individuals have a very low self-esteem as a result of the addiction, which needs to be addressed in order to facilitate complete addiction rehabilitation.

In order to provide such a comprehensive addiction rehabilitation service as referred to above and even more, South Coast Recovery Centre has a dedicated team of professionals to look after our patients. We wouldn't be able to provide this help if it wasn't for their complete dedication, sincere compassion and utmost professionalism.

We are situated on the beautiful south coast of KwaZulu-Natal and offer a safe and serene haven for addicts where they can recuperate and enjoy expert care. If you are looking for addiction rehabilitation facilities that can make a real difference, feel free to contact us at South Coast Recovery Centre.

We will do whatever it takes ...

SCRC's approach is aimed at facilitating change from the culture of addiction to the culture of recovery.

This process will yield limited success when approached outside of a residential treatment facility particularly when detoxification is required. It is imperative that individuals entering treatment are given as much training and education as possible.
