Drug Rehab Kraaifontein

Drug Rehab Kraaifontein covers Kraaifontein, Scottsdene, Wallacedene and the surrounding areas. Cost is the most common obstacle raised from here, so this page deals with the routes that do not require private fees. For how treatment works, see Drug Rehab Cape Town.

Drug Rehab Kraaifontein: Routes That Do Not Require Private Fees

• State-funded treatment through the Western Cape Department of Social Development and public health facilities. Low or no cost, generally with a waiting list. A referral usually starts at a clinic, hospital or local social worker.
• NGO services such as SANCA, which provide assessment and outpatient counselling, often on a sliding scale based on income.
• Free peer support. NA and AA meetings run across the northern suburbs at no cost. Not a substitute for treatment, but valuable alongside it and essential afterwards.

Using the Waiting Period

Waiting lists are the main drawback of state services, and the wait is where people give up. It is worth treating that period actively: start outpatient counselling, attend meetings, and get the physical health check done. Someone who arrives at admission already engaged does better than someone who has spent three months waiting.

What Presents From This Area

Methamphetamine and alcohol are the most common. Meth recovery usually needs longer than a standard month, which is worth factoring in when a programme is offered - see meth addiction.
