Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and its most populous city. The city was named for Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, wife of King William IV. The city is known as the City of Churches due to the diverse religious beliefs of its population. The city is also well-known for its food and wine.

Its population stands at a little over 1.4 million people as of 2022, and many of them will struggle with alcohol or drug use. Some Adelaide rehab centres can offer treatment, but some people may find that coming to Liberty Home in Cape Town may offer them their best chance at recovery.

The Benefits of Inpatient Rehab

People generally think of inpatient or residential rehab when they think of addiction treatment. This form of treatment is when a person checks themselves into a treatment centre, and they commit to staying in that centre to receive treatment for 28 days or longer, depending on their needs.

While the prospect of staying inside a facility for weeks on end can seem unappealing, inpatient drug and alcohol rehab can have numerous benefits for people dealing with drug or alcohol addiction.

One of the primary benefits of residential treatment is that it can offer the most intensive treatment for alcohol or drug addiction. Inpatient alcohol and drug rehab centres are also controlled environments. While a person is in them, they will have no access to the substances to which they are addicted, which means that they’ll have no choice but to be sober while they are undergoing their treatment programme.

Many centres will also offer comprehensive treatment plans, including therapies to address the physical aspects of addiction. Addiction treatment centres also have continuous monitoring. This can be especially beneficial for people whose conditions make them a danger to themselves or others.

Addiction in Adelaide

Almost 18 per cent of Australians used an illicit drug between 2022 and 2023. In South Australia, this figure was slightly lower at 17 per cent. Cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, and ecstasy were the most widely used drugs in that order, and the use of cocaine and hallucinogens increased slightly from 2019 figures.

The trends in drug use are concerning and underscore the vital need for comprehensive treatment options not just in Adelaide but throughout all of Australia.

Why Come to Our Rehabilitation Centre

While a rehab in Adelaide can offer a person the drug or alcohol treatment that they need to recover, there are still many reasons to come to us over a centre in Adelaide. These reasons include:

Price

A private rehab facility in Adelaide or anywhere across Australia can be quite costly. As such, many people who want the level of treatment and comfort they provide can find that it is out of reach. However, coming to South Africa can mean accessing that same level of care at a fraction of the price.

Privacy

Many people can also find that being known as a substance user can be detrimental to their reputation. As such, they will want privacy when they seek treatment. The distance between Adelaide and Cape Town can keep a person away from any prying eyes.

Distance from Triggers

In the same vein as above, being in Cape Town, as opposed to Adelaide, can mean being far away from triggers. This can help a person focus on their recovery.

Isolation from Enablers

Similarly, coming to Cape Town also distances a person from any people who may have enabled their substance use. This can help them remain focused on their treatment.

Environment

Our treatment facility in Cape Town is only a few minutes away from the beach. This can help a person relax and be more open to treatment.

Symbolism

For a lot of people, travelling from Adelaide can symbolise leaving behind an old life and old struggles. Essentially, they can make a metaphorical recovery journey into a literal journey.

Sober Living in Addiction Recovery

Sober living can be an important part of a person’s treatment plan for substance abuse. While a rehab facility is a controlled environment, the real world is not. So, people need to learn how to navigate the real world while continuously choosing sobriety.

A sober living programme can be instrumental in this regard. In a sober living home, a person can have a greater measure of independence than they would have in a residential treatment facility. Sober living can help people learn how to live in the real world while also helping them stay sober.

Rebuilding Relationships After Treatment

Many people who seek treatment may have strained relationships with their loved ones. This is because addiction can often cause people to distance themselves from the people they love, or it can cause the people they love to distance themselves.

In any case, addiction can be isolating, and many people can feel incredibly lonely as a result. Many recovery plans account for this, and they either integrate family therapy into their treatment or equip patients with the skills they need to make amends and rebuild their relationships.
