At Assisted Recovery Centres of Africa, we understand what you are going through. We have helped hundreds of people just like you get on the road to recovery and stay there by going beyond 12-step programs. We offer the latest medications to minimize withdrawal symptoms and control cravings as you enter recovery. Combined with counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy, this is the most effective treatment approach available today. ARCA Durban does offer out-patient or various combinations of both in and out-patient services, according to patients limitations of time due to work, family or financial constraints. With help from ARCA Durban, you will get through your first chemical-free days comfortably and safely. For me, perhaps the most important thing was the will to do something about my problem. The medical director and founder of ARCA in South Africa, Dr Naidoo, makes it very clear from the outset that one must have a minimum level of motivation. ARCA caters for a very diverse cross-section of society. Do not expect an exclusive hideaway where one can cut oneself off from the world around you. The food is perfectly adequate, but do not expect gourmet cuisine! Any money you bring with you is kept in safe-keeping. In my view, being an active participant in a mutually supportive group is very therapeutic. Always remember the misery and suffering that one’s addiction has brought upon oneself as well as our families and friends. Come with an open mind, and a resolve to beat the scourge of addition! Prescription medication (which is handed in and dispensed in accordance with medical instructions) Any medication that has not been specifically prescribed; alcohol; and/or any drugs. Tea is readily available and juices are served with meals. ARCA offers people suffering from addiction a practical and sustainable path to recovery, and the opportunity to restore one’s life to one of happiness, satisfaction and quality. Of course, this requires motivation and effort, but the unique combination of medication, therapy and a truly caring environment makes this a lot easier. ARCA Durban is an outpatient treatment clinic that specializes in helping alcoholics and drug addicts stop using the mood-altering substances that have taken control of their lives. At Assisted Recovery Centres of Africa, our approach draws on a rich integration of clinical practice, theory and research, providing respectful personal support to address a wide range of addictions.
