Drug rehabilitation has become a very specialised field in health and psychiatric care. This is due to the fact that each patient reacts differently to the treatment to heal them from their addiction. There is no quick formula that can be used on patients in general. Each patient has to be evaluated by professional psychiatric and medical personnel as both professions play a major role in the drug rehab programme.

In South Africa we are fortunate to have the skill amongst our medical and psychiatric fraternity to help with this mammoth task. The drug rehab centres in South Africa are rated amongst the best in the world. The people that man these centres are highly trained. Due to the fact that no ordinary care is required during drug rehab, these people are trained specifically for this type of care.

Each patient is evaluated by the medical and psychiatric personnel to establish a programme for that patient .The programme includes the family of the patient as they form an integral part of the healing process of the patient and their own healing, as most families are traumatised by the addiction of their loved one. They make contact with people who are in the same position as they are during group sessions at the clinic.
