What do you
understand by the different ‘stages’ of treatment for addiction? What is the treatment all about? How does a resident
go through changes during these various ‘stages’
and what makes them understand those changes?
During one of
the family association meetings, all these curiosities were answered by the staff and the re-entry residents of
SHAFA. The families were detailed about the three stages that an individual
goes through and the re- entry residents shared their experiences and talked
about the learning’s that one goes through these each ‘stage’. They explained the similarities between the different role
of an individual while they were at home, as a father, brother, husband etc.
and their roles they perform in SHAFA family as a General Worker, HOD, Chief
and finally as a Co-ordinator.
In the end, they
talked about the role of SHAFA and of families in helping the resident to stay
in recovery after treatment. All this resulted in clearing their myths and
perceptions about treatment. This helped their faith to grow and gave them a
hope that one day their most near and dear ones, who are today known as
addicts, will have a very bright and beautiful life waiting for them.
