Addictive disorders, which include alcoholism, are as ancient as human existence. The effects of intoxication and hallucinogenic experience have filled mankind with a mixture of fear and fascination. The ability to dissociate from the normal to a state of ‘being outside the body’ has irresistibly drawn human beings to experiment with a cacophony of foods and drugs to achieve a state that is hard to describe. The ARCA Medical Detox rehab treatment is pain-free, comfortable and eliminates cravings from substance abuse.

ARCA Rehabs are covered by all major South Africa medical aids

More than a 12 step rehab program

ARCA is a medically oriented program. We treat addiction as a medical disease, rather than a moral failure. Our treatment methods are based on using the latest in medical knowledge and therapies for neuro transmitted stabilization, and the elimination of cravings and withdrawals that are associated.

However this may be considered as a first step, and the aftercare can incorporate 12 step programmes. In essence we are the acute phase of treatment followed by long term maintenance.

What our clients say

Due to requirements by the Pensions Dept. Here in Ireland I have to provide proof that I attended your clinic in Durban from 31/03/2016 to 07/04/2016, thereafter took supervised medication and attended group meetings for the remainder of my 3-month stay in Durban. Prior to that I had just completed the addiction treatment program with methadone as prescribed by the Drug Treatment Clinic of the HSE West in Ireland. This treatment failed and was the reason why I sought your help. I sincerely commend you and your clinic as you provided the solution to my recovery with a new medication superior to that accepted nationally here in Ireland and I wish you all success.

ARCA Durban Commendation

I would really like to thank Dr Naidoo and his ARCA team for this achievement of mine. I have been clean for since 5 January 2017. I still breath and adopt the principles I learned everyday in my life. My moto was LISTEN TO LEARN AND LEARN TO LISTEN.

Vibu's Story

My son was admitted into the 21-day program at ARCA. All I can say is that this place has helped my son so much. The staff there is wonderful, just to name a few, Genevieve, Pryees, Nkosi and AJ. More caring and dedicated people I have not seen in a long time. From myself and my son Basil, we would like to say thank you very much for everything.

Basil's Story

I have been to several rehabs for the last three years as I have been addicted to sleeping tabs for ten years. I found ARCA Durban and was there about two months. Dr Naidoo and his team have performed a miracle on me through the medical detox, and I had excellent treatment from the nurses and as well as the admin staff. I would recommend ARCA Durban to anybody that has an addiction problem. They will definitely be cured as Dr Naidoo is the best. Thank you Dr Naidoo for healing me!

Shalina's Story

Our son James came to Arca over 4 years ago and was very successfully rehabilitated and never for one moment has there been any problem with him going back to his old ways for which we are so very grateful. James is one of your success stories that you don’t even know about…he first of all won R75 000 garden makeover in a verge competition, he received an award from the major for beautifying our verge in another verge competition.

James's Story

I entered the ARCA Centre on the 17th of July 2018, I had my last drink on the 16th of July 2018. Since then I never looked back, I have just finished two months without even a drop of alcohol. I have been taking pills since then and stopped last week on Friday. Since then I’ve never looked back.
