While the need to find a rehabilitation centre for yourself or a loved one may arise suddenly, it is advised to take into account both the rehabilitation center's services, but also its location.
When trying to decide on a recovery centre, there are a few things to keep in mind. In addition to cost and quality, you should think about how accessible the facility is. Here, we take a closer look at the most important factors to consider in order to find a recovery centre that will provide you with the life-changing care you need on your path to recovery.
1. Location matters more than you may realise
Several studies have shown that being exposed to sunlight has positive effects on one's physical and mental wellbeing. In addition to making you feel happier, it also has practical benefits including allowing you to sleep better and decreasing your blood pressure.
South Africa enjoys pleasant temperatures and plenty of sunny, dry days. White River is an ideal destination for recuperation thanks to its lovely subtropical climate and mild winters.
It would be a mistake to take the destination of your recovery for granted when searching for a luxury rehab facility. The act of relocation alone is credited by many successful patients with facilitating their recovery. That's because the sources of stress and triggers in the lives of addicts accumulate in their daily environment.
Therefore, being away - or, better yet, abroad - may help you to detach from the negative scenarios you experience on a daily basis, whether they result from challenges at job, issues with family or love relations, or just toxic people.
2. Anonymity allows for safety during recovery
When someone has finally made the tough choice to receive assistance for substance misuse, they may not feel ready to talk about it with others. It is probable that they will not even tell their closest friends and family.
This is especially true with high-ranking professionals, who have much to lose should their addiction issues become known to the public.
It's possible that you won't have the same level of privacy and discretion when getting medical help in your own town. However, selecting a luxury rehab facility in South Africa virtually guarantees your success due to its remote location, distant from your usual triggers.
There's no need to explain to anyone why you'll be absent; instead, you can go to therapy without worrying about people making intrusive enquiries into your treatment.
3. Comfort and luxury should not be unaffordable during your recovery
Rehabilitative services should be provided without regard to a patient's financial resources. However, patients in the United States and Europe may not receive the level of care they require due to the high expense of rehabilitation programmesthere.
However, this is not always the case in South Africa. The South African Rand's depreciation against the U.S. dollar, the British pound, and the Euro in recent years has made the country more affordable, making it more appealing to visitors and people in need of a luxury rehab facility.
4. You should have access to the best treatment available
Rehab centres in South Africa, and White River Manor in particular, are among the best in the world for treating substance abuse and burnout.
This is because the prevalence of drug abuse in the country is high, ranking it among the worst in the world in 2009.
While this is certainly disheartening, it does indicate that South Africa has no shortage of excellent treatment centres for substance abuse.
