Causes of Addiction – Circle of Influence & Circle of Concern

[Title]

There are no real identifiable causes of addiction, but there are many factors that we are exposed to on a daily basis which may contribute towards the development of an addiction.

Whether internal or external, every person has a set of concerns that they find themselves head to head with on a daily basis.

Addiction Recovery – Your Past Does Not Define Your Future

[Title]

Your past does not define your future. Read that again and allow it to sink in.

We have moved passed the idea that your addictive past will define your entire future and we believe that the term “once an addict, always an addict” couldn’t be further from the truth.

Addiction recovery is the first step to take along the meaningful journey of rediscovery and allows us the opportunity to outgrow destructive habits as we cultivate a new way of life.

Relapse Prevention – Relapse is a Process and it Does Not Mean Failure

[Title]

Relapse – a term feared by many individuals who are both dealing with or affected by addiction. However, by understanding that relapse is a process and not an overnight event, it becomes clear that relapse prevention is entirely possible.

The common consensus is that relapse is a normal part of the recovery process, especially during early stages.

This may be true, but it also does not have to be inevitable. The reason we work hard with those in recovery to avoid relapsing, is because the potential effects can be severe.

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..
