There are so many people today that we meet that would never, ever go to a drug rehab centre and seek out Private rehab centre in cape town alternatives, or in Johannesburg or elsewhere in South Africa only to find that they cannot get what they are looking for unless it is main stream. Medical aids pay about 21 days for folks to attend private and luxury rehabs in South Africa and won’t pay for any other help. Medical aids have almost not changed at all since they started paying for South Africans to attend alcohol and drug rehabs and the cover still remains highly limited in both scope and in its effectiveness. Although there is definitely a place for drug rehabs there are many new and exciting ways to heal, recover and restore your wellbeing. People have sought more and more alternatives to rehab over the years and thank goodness they are out there.
If as many as one in four people have addiction problems today like behavioural addictions, gambling and other issues we tend to find that deeply psychological and emotional issues drive those problems. Research suggests about 10-25% of people have addiction issues, issues that they won’t ever seek help for. However they will definitely seek out ways to eventually ease suffering and improve their lives. Psychotherapy for addiction recovery is one such option with relatively high success rates.
Today thankfully there are recovery retreats, recovery events and a ton of highly effective online programs and practitioner that help people recover and renew their lives from a totally different perspective than what you would find at a Private rehab centre in cape town alternatives included. Top drug rehab centres have their place and we try and direct people who seek and would benefit from that drug rehab styled treatment as often as we can as professionals. Oftentimes people flat out refuse to go to a rehab or clinic for such treatment. So historically speaking they were simply abandoned by their medical aids and left in the dark. Slowly that is changing. Thank goodness! People are entitled to alternatives and options that suit their personalities and lifestyles as well as their social upbringing, privacy needs and so on. Addiction treatment has now totally changed by definition in the last several years and people are seeking alternatives to rehab that suit their specific, unique needs.
“Where did we get addicted to our problems? If you want to make a new choice, if you want to make a decision today, if you want to have a breakthrough in some area of your life – you have to give up your story that it’s not your fault”
– Tony Robbins
Mark L Lockwood, addiction psychology strategist, who originally developed the Sanctuary mental and emotional healing programs way back in the 2000’s, programs that are used at The Center for Healing and Life Transformation and at events recognised worldwide works with people on alternatives to addiction treatment. Mark wrote the popular Recovery Magic book, and also developed the new 10 step Paradigm Process to addiction recovery program. He says that “people must get what they need and not settle for any less than they require, want or need. Healing is a highly personal experience and South Africa needs to catch up to the rest of the world. Stigma and branding people as addicts is a ridiculously old-fashioned issue and so is sending them to Luxury Drug rehab centres that they simply don’t ever want to go to. The same thing happened at psychiatric mental health clinics many years back which has started to radically shift today”.
So what do we do with them, leave them to suffer alone? Don’t be ridiculous. If someone firmly believes that a set of crystals will help them heal and recover from obsessions, and stuckness in various areas of their life then we believe that is a wonderful place for them to start. People are using Ketamine treatment, Ayahuasca and everything from hypnosis through to attending Tony Robbins and Dr. Joe Dispenza events for their addiction and emotional problems – and they are achieving first world results for their efforts. So we say go for it! Our motto has become, don’t stay stuck – you really can heal your life!
Today we think that recovery has nothing to do with substance abuse treatment for many people and although no one can agree on the definitions we can agree that a multitude of different approaches that are way outside the box are working today. So yes, Private rehab centre in cape town alternatives exists in so many wonderful shapes and sizes today that no one needs to stay stuck, lost, addicted or emotionally suffering today. What is important is that you reach out and find what is right for you and then start there. Then keep on keeping on. When someone tells you that there are no alternatives to mental and emotional wellbeing then tell them to look at the research. The likes of Joe Dispenza to Deepak Chopra all spend hundreds of thousand so dollars and a ton of time on collecting data with regards to their alternative programs that heal and transform so many lives. You can see some of their research here and access hundreds of links to corresponding research in many fields here and on the Deepak Chopra link above.
Not everyone wants a 12 step program. Not many people want to leave their homes and bunk in a clinic or drug rehab centre with other people who they feel they have nothing in common with. They especially don’t want to go out there and be labelled for life as an addict, a problem person or anything else and that is their right.
“Fear is the memory of pain. Addiction is the memory of pleasure. Freedom is beyond both” Deepak Chopra
Freedom to choose what is best for you today is on the increase and thats a good thing because the more people that start down the road of recovery in one way, shape or form are likely to continue looking for tools, methods and programs of growth and recovery. Those who see no options tend to become hopeless and stay hopeless for longer periods of time.
