Although the methods and settings used for treating substance use disorders vary widely, the universal goals are always the same, namely; to safely stop a patient’s chemical dependency; to enable the person to sustain sobriety by establishing healthy coping skills; and by invoking a natural sense of wellbeing. Detoxification and psychotherapy is considered the most effective combination for successful results.
Pietermaritzburg is the capital of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province. It has a modern airport, with direct links to most South African international airports. It is near the King Shaka International Airport in Durban and is also accessible via major bus services and roadways. It is popular with local and overseas patients seeking a rehab program in a dynamic city with all the benefits of a modern global community. Finding a rehab centre in Pietermaritzburg that fits your needs is our speciality.
The many symptoms of substance use disorder are spawned by various factors, including a person’s history, character traits, environmental and social influences, physical and emotional health, as well as other elements. Symptoms include a general loss of control over virtually all aspects of daily life and persistent overuse despite the bad consequences. A qualified therapist must be consulted for proper identification and evaluation of an individual’s symptoms.
Counselling that is up to date with the latest international standards, is routinely offered by most South African rehab centres. One-on-one therapy sessions with counsellors is another option most of them declare, but they do not offer the same number of weekly consultations. Since these sessions are essential for dealing with sensitive issues in an intense, focused and confidential setting, centres should provide one-on-one therapy sessions at least twice a week, lasting about one hour each.
Counselling benefits include healing mental disorders and creating positive coping skills by enhancing patients’ cognitive thought processes. Professional psychtherapy is the preferred long-term solution for sustained sobriety. It not only restores the known benefits of sobriety, but also prevents some of the tragedies that continued emotional distress can bring about.
Most community-based support groups provide good inspiration for staying sober. Just listening to support group discussions can refresh your awareness and strengthen your resolve. Most groups also offer strong support and will rally around you when you falter. After the insight provided by a formal rehab program, patients can add value to the group and also benefit more from the feedback they get. Community-based support groups are available in and near Pietermaritzburg.
Outpatient options allow patients to live at home and participate in treatment at a rehab centre during the day. It offers freedom for maintaining daily responsibilities outside a centre. They can either attend the full day course or schedule appointments with therapists for certain times of the day. Some rehabs offer private internet therapy sessions with audiovisual webcams for stay-at-home patients.
Urgent access to treatment is crucial when someone needs it, but it can be time consuming to find a suitable facility if your knowledge of the available venues and options is limited.
