(Re-Integration
into Society Program following after primary Treatment)
|
|
| |
To merge in the mainstream
society is very difficult for an Ex Drug Addicts who is treated
and Rehabilitated. In this case Centre should provide better
chances for adjustment. For this purpose different type of interventions
are uses. Some times we have to work with Community and other
times we have to deal with Family and job provider. Treatment
can never be successful without After Care Services. |
|

|
|

Follow
Up System

come to consult. Centre form such teams that visits and provide
out reach services for recovering. These teams could be the
best source to evaluate the true performance of Centre. Family

with Centre. Community can take active part in the readjustment
of recovering by providing them social and employment support
at large scale.

Self Help Groups |
|
| |
Self help is neither about a person helping his
own self nor about an individual getting help from a single
helper, but about a group with similar problems, helping and
supporting each other reaching for a common goal. |

I. EX DRUG ADDICT
SUPPORT GROUP |
|
| |
The Ex Drug Addicts Support Group is the group
of all Recovering Drug Addicts, regular sessions and meetings
are held to monitor their sobriety and their mandate to clean
living. Fellowship gatherings are held to strengthen kinship.
They also provide support and responsible concern to new members
and act as role models to the younger ones in the program. They
also engage in community outreach activities and do special
missions. We have established ex-drug addicts support groups
for N.A meeting at their own area booths where they can spend
their time and also share views to solve their problems. On
every Sunday a grand meeting of Ex Drug Addicts is held at head
office where the recovering from different areas of the city
come together and join the meeting. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Every week about 150-200 recovering persons are
benefited IN Ex Drug Addicts Support Groups |
|
| |
|
|
| |
ii. FAMILY SUPPORT
GROUP |
|
| |
Addiction is frequently referred to as a family
disease. It affects not only Drug Abuser but also each and every
member of the family and threatens the very structure of the
family. Since the drug dependent will eventually return to his
family, the culture the family should enable him to sustain
his recovery. In order for this to happen, family member should
likewise undergo change. Regardless of weather dependent get
well or not, it is being discovered that by treating families,
one can change ineffective family system. And a family system
is renewed; the family can once again become a healthy environment
for everyone, including the recovering drug dependent. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
First time in Pakistan well organized Family
Support Groups are functioning, meetings are held on every Friday
in different areas of city including NHCC headquarter, which
are run by the volunteer facilitators who are codependent themselves.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Every week about 200-250 codependent family members
are benefited in Family Support Group meetings. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Community Support Group |
|
| |
|
|
| |
There was a strong need to build a bridge
among Recovering, Families and Community and this dream becomes
true when we learned from the training workshops that for the
solidarity of Treatment & Rehabilitation there are some
basic steps to follow.
1 Drug Prevention
2 Pre Treatment Interventions
3 After Care Services
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
To work on these three step full involvement
of every segment of society is essential e.g., Ex Drug Addicts,
Families, Community. Therefore, New Horizons Care Center established
Community Support Group which help in reintegration of Ex Drug
Addicts in the community, support Aftercare services in different
areas of city and they also work with NHCC on Drug Prevention.
More than 100 volunteers are working in community support Groups
of NHCC and they have established an association named “Friends
of New Horizons”. |
