When choosing rehabilitation options for substance abuse treatments, including drugs, alcohol, or behavioural addictions, finding the right programme is key.
Netcare Akeso Stepping Stones offers different programmes and lengths of stay depending on your unique behavioural and substance abuse treatments needs. They include:
- A detox programme (approximately three to seven days)
- Inpatient primary care (up to 28 days)
- Extended care programme (21 days or longer)
Clients who have recently completed a primary programme for substance abuse treatments which incorporates the principles of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) may transfer to our facility to attend our extended care programme. This may involve a brief transition time within our primary care programme for assessment before moving on to the extended care programme.
Please contact one of our team for assistance with your rehabilitation options for substance abuse and behavioural addiction. We can help you select a programme or combination of programmes to meet your recovery needs.
At Netcare Akeso Stepping Stones, you will have access to healthcare professionals who can assess, support and monitor you daily, allowing for your treatment to be adapted immediately if needed, based on real time observations. Every member of our team is committed to being active partners in your treatment. However, you need to be just as active in this partnership. Treatment involves a willingness to talk about issues with honesty and striving to develop new methods of coping.
It takes courage to change. Committing to addiction rehabilitation requires motivation and a desire to live a life free of addiction. We aim for you to not only have had “clean time”, but, by the end of the programme, to have achieved the following:
- Firstly, admitting you have been powerless to fight the addiction on your own and that your life had become unmanageable and truly understand what this means.
- Have connected or reconnected with the appropriate fellowship or support group such as NA or AA.
- Started to connect with yourself and developed a positive sense of who you are, to give you with the motivation to continue your journey of recovery.
- Developed practical skills and acquired the tools that will assist you with living life, one day at a time, without returning to old destructive addictive habits.
We are proud to offer you various rehabilitation options for substance abuse and other addictions and believe that our programmes can be significant in your recovery.
