The Foundation's programmes
ADULT SUBSTANCE ABUSE
This intervention is for adults abusing or dependent on chemical substances who find themselves in conflict with the law. This intervention targets adults abusing alcohol and drugs, but not addicted. Not suitable for individuals with severe medical or psychological conditions or severe withdrawal symptoms necessitating medical detoxification.
This ten-session group intervention programme addresses the underlying factors that contribute towards substance use/abuse and facilitates personal learning and growth. Based on the Matrix Model, it incorporates evidence-based therapies such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy.
The programme aims to:
- Educate and empower participants with critical knowledge, skills and attitudes to break the cycle of addiction and refrain from future anti-social and criminal behaviour
- Assist participants to develop practical strategies and coping mechanisms to manage their addiction and prevent relapse
- Develop a support system through which family members and significant others can support behaviour change and the recovery process
ECONOMIC REHAB CENTERS
This program provides socio-economically marginalised people with low education and skills with the necessary knowledge, competencies and tools to access the economy through informal or alternative income streams.
- This targets adults, youth, with a specific focus on women and those living in socio-economically marginalised communities.
- This intervention comprises four programme modules that focus on the basics of small business and entrepreneurship and innovative thinking around developing new business opportunities.
- It equips participants with basic financial and digital literacy skills.
- The programme improves the participantโs ability to generate an income and make a living by assisting them to:
- Identify potential income streams in his/her community
- Map out and implement a basic income generating activity
- Use basic financial methods and tools for personal and income generating activities
DRUG REHAB CENTERS
The aim is to offer a full medical detoxification to remove the drug and
other unwanted toxins from the body. This detox minimizes cravings
and withdrawals that are often a barrier to many when seeking
treatment.
The latest medications are then administered to minimize withdrawal
symptoms and control cravings in the long term. This medical approach, combined with expert counselling and cognitive behaviour therapy, is by far the most effective treatment approach for alcoholism
and drug dependence available today in South Africa.
