JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, May 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- WeDoRecover was started in 2009 by an internationally accredited addiction counsellor who had run treatment centres in Johannesburg, South Africa and Manchester, England and recognised the need for families of patients to have an independent resource to use as a rehab directory that could guide them in the pre-admission crisis phase while making rehabilitaion centre choices.
Having performed over 100 successful addiction interventions and working with the best rehab centres in the UK, South Africa and Thailand the next logical step seemed to be offering addiction advice to friends and family of addicted people, helping patients to made educated choices about the best centre for them.
WeDoRecover provides a platform where family members who want to help their alcohol and drug addicted loved ones recover can call and get guidance from professional and qualified addiction counsellors.
WeDoRecover offers cost effective treatment centres and alcohol detoxification clinics bested suited to your circumstances and financial needs in all of South Africa's major cities (Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban) as well the UK (London, Manchester and other English towns) as well as Thailand rehab centres.
WeDoRecover's lead addictions counsellor, Gareth Carter says that it is vital that everyone has access to quality addiction treatment, regardless of where they are. "With South Africa having twice the world norm for alcohol and drug abuse, it's clear that our services are much needed."
"There are hundreds and thousands of people that need treatment and we would like to ensure that they are given the opportunity to recover from their respective addictions," said Carter.
The website, WeDoRecover.com, provides people with information regarding all types of drug and alcohol addictions and what can be done to treat it.
It also provides in depth articles and descriptions of the various available treatment centres and the processes involved in effective addiction rehabilitation.
Carter said that finding the correct rehabilitation centre is key in the path to a successful addiction recovery. "Because everyone is different, their addiction symptoms and treatment history, risk factors and funding available will differ, therefore picking the correct treatment centre can be tricky for the uninformed."
"There are a vast majority of treatments available to people struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and addiction, so that's where we step in and can provide fast, tangible solutions for the patient and their family."
Carter also added that they can provide answers to any questions people might have. "People want to know what makes this clinic good, what the success rates of each clinic is, how are the facilities like, can I afford it? WeDoRecover can answer all those questions and will ensure that you or your loved one receives the most helpful treatment available to your needs, your addiction, your budget, your age and other risk factors," said Carter.
The effects that alcohol and drug addiction have on society, especially in South Africa is far reaching. Addictions do not only affect the individual physically, but also the people around them.
"Alcohol and drug addiction can damage your career ambitions and most importantly, it affects the relationships you have with the people you love," said Carter.
Carter also said that many addiction treatment myths abound, that families and loved ones can also inadvertently enable their loved ones addiction by keeping it under wraps through being afraid of what the consequences might be if others found out. "If you know that your loved one has an addiction and do nothing but maintain the status quo, you are enabling their addiction. Your loved one has no reason to change their behaviour until you change yours. Drug and alcohol addicted patients rarely take responsibility for their recovery without external pressure forcing them to do so."
He also said that there are many ordinary citizens and several celebrities too that have made use of strong exchange rates to avail themselves of world class addiction treatment at more affordable prices than they find in their home countries (England, UK, Europe, America and the Middle East - Kuwait, Dubai UAE, Saudi Arabia) by accessing rehab centres in South Africa & Thailand.
"It certainly makes sense in this economy to travel abroad to a addiction rehabilitation centre that meets internationally accepted standards and pay less than you would at home. Of course the after-care plan and longer term recovery strategy is paramount to successful treatment."
