Domestic Violence and Addiction – How are they linked?

[Title]

There is an uncomfortably close link between domestic violence and addiction; substance abuse is often the cause of domestic violence, while domestic violence can just as well cause substance abuse.

Therefore, both substance abuse and domestic violence are considered the cause and effect of the other, and when investigating the one the other should always be considered.

Am I an Addict? How Casual Use Can Turn into Addiction

[Title]

If you find yourself using recreational drugs or alcohol casually or only in social situations, you may have never felt the need to ask yourself “am I an addict?”.

However, have you ever stopped to wonder what the implications of using substances regularly, even if it’s only on weekends, can be?

Addiction Recovery and Telling People You're Sober

[Title]

Although addiction recovery has many rewards, the one thing many recovered addicts fear is sharing the fact that they are now sober.

The sad reality is that there is a degree of shame that is associated with being sober, because of the stigma attached to being an addict.

However, being sober is something that every recovered addict should be proud of because it means that you have overcome one of the hardest obstacles you will ever face.

Aftercare and relapse prevention

Addiction Aftercare

What happens after your addiction treatment is just as important

Often, the real test only occurs after addiction treatment has been completed. What happens when people in recovery are put back into the same situation, with the same influences and stressors?

We consider the reality of relapse and therefore include a number of relapse prevention techniques in our treatment programme, as well as encourage patients to attend our weekly group meetings.

Aftercare and relapse prevention entails learning new coping strategies aimed at equipping recovering addicts with the skills needed to help maintain their life of sobriety and minimise their risk of relapse.

Addiction recovery is possible, we also started where you are today.

Family & Co-dependency Therapy

Family & Co-dependent Therapy

'No man is an island unto himself.'

The devastating effects of substance abuse and dependency are felt by friends and especially family. They should not be excluded in the treatment.

Even harder to accept is the fact that family can often be part of the problem, and so we need to help make family part of the solution.

Step Away provides help and advice on substance abuse problems, drug addiction, codependency, alcoholism and other addictions.

Find help for friends and family with cocaine addiction, addictions to crystal meth (tik), heroin, crack cocaine and other drugs, substance abuse such as with marijuana (Dagga), ecstasy (MDMA) as well as alcohol, and addictions to prescription drugs. Find support for dependency on over-the-counter-drugs..

Rehab Programs for Alcohol Abuse and Drug Addiction

Step Away - Port Elizabeth drug and alcohol treatment programs run for 21 days. Any form of substance dependency needs to be treated with a well structured rehab programme that is all-encompassing and supports the individual client with the best professional recovery program possible.
