ARCA Treatment
At Assisted Recovery Centres of Africa, we understand what you are going through. Your life is spinning out of control. You are scared, and you are tired. But you are not alone. We have helped hundreds of people just like you get on the road to recovery and stay there by going beyond 12-step programs.
Alcohol Detox
Alcohol detox on its own is not treatment but it is a very vital first step that helps people who suffer from an alcohol use disorder (AUD). When someone is dependent on alcohol and suddenly stops drinking, they will begin to develop uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms start within 6-24 hours after they stop drinking.
This can be very risky and dangerous to an invidual without the correct supervision. The danger of delirium tremens which is life threatening is a factor to be wary of during this treatment.
Drug Detox
A substance abuse disorder has many layers and this is why drug detox is so complex. Drug detox is a process where drugs are eliminated out of the body. Drug detox is a vital first step to a successful recovery process in and out of rehab. After drug rehabilitation, the recovering drug abuser can commence with ongoing rehab treatment.
Detox is the best way to start drug rehab treatment as people who abuse drugs experience intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms which lead to relapse. Withdrawal symptoms occur when the body is exposed to long periods of drug use and suddenly stopped.
Alcohol Treatment
People who are suffering from the disease of alcoholism are often not ready to get sober without some sort of intervention or health reasons. It is important to remember that recovery is a process and not a destination. It takes more than just admitting that you have a drinking problem.
For successful recovery from alcohol addition one has too explore the possibilities of underlying genetic, physiological, and psychiatric conditions that may be masked. Therefore, ARCA delves into the conscious and sub-conscious brain in order to identify these factors. We have different modalities of treatment to access both the conscious and sub-conscious brains.
Outpatient Program
When choosing addiction treatment, there are many options available. ARCA can assist you with the best addiction treatment to suit your individual needs. We offer a free assessment, where we can determine where the person is and what type of treatment will benefit them physically, mentally, and financially.
If you are a functioning addict, are employed, or have dependents then the best option would be an intensive outpatient program. This program works best for those who do not require medical detox and are looking for after-hours treatment. It is a suitable choice for those who have gone through detox but cannot enter into an inpatient program.
Drug Rehabilitation
We offer a medically advanced approach to treat addiction. For those who have had repeated failures in recovery, there are effective anti-craving medications that assist with positive treatment outcomes.
The ARCA program offers drug rehabilitation for addictions to opioids, stimulants (e.g., crystal meth, cat), prescription medication (e.g., Codeine, Xanax, sleeping tablets, as well as non-prescription medicine), legal and illegal medication, and alcohol abuse.
The treatment process starts with medical consultation, detoxification, and anti-craving medication. The process includes a 3–5-day detox program (or longer if necessary) with individual and group therapy. This is provided by trained doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and occupational therapists.
Gambling Addiction
Gambling addiction is probably one of the most deceptive habits, as it promises easy money but can ruin you financially and emotionally. The truth is that the house always wins and this is why casinos are such a lucrative industry to be in. You may win big at times but you will also lose big.
Different Types of Gambling
There are different forms of gambling addictions, such as:
- Slot machines
- Card games, eg. Poker and blackjack
- Lottery
- Raffles
- Making bets with friends
- Gambling offers a fake promise of sorting out debt, financial ruin, and unemployment.
This illusion always leads to a cycle of gambling addiction where the gambler believes that they have to win to make up for all that they have lost. Gambling offers a high that comes from taking risky bets that pay off now and again.
