Overcome addiction at Oasis in Plettenberg Bay

Aug. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Oasis Counselling Centre in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa offers addicts the freedom to overcome addiction at its treatment facility. The Oasis rehabilitation centre runs an intense and successful recovery programme aimed at helping addicts to overcome addiction and to learn the skills to remain abstinent indefinitely.

Attending a drug rehabilitation centre with a comprehensive addiction treatment programme is the best option for people struggling with not only drug addiction and alcoholism, but other forms of addiction as well.

Addiction is a disease

There are many theories concerning the nature of addiction and what it is exactly.  Some feel it is a character flaw and lack of self-will; that the addict is a “bad” person whilst others believe that a particular drug, drink, person or location is the problem.

The truth is that addiction is a disease which is incurable and progressive. Over time it will get worse and can be fatal, but the disease can be arrested with abstinence, proper counselling and a daily programme of recovery.

“At Oasis Counselling Centre we do not believe that addicts are bad or weak-willed people,” says Anstice Wright of Oasis Counselling. “They are in fact quite the opposite and with professional counselling and help, they can be rehabilitated to lead normal and happy lives.”

Overcoming addiction

There are many different types of treatment available for addiction and some have a higher success rate than others. Many centres provide only counselling and therapy without placing too much emphasis on how the patient will manage life once they leave the rehabilitation centre.

The most successful rate of recovery is definitely seen in addicts who go through a longer treatment programme which provides professional addiction counselling, a Twelve Step recovery programme or endorses a holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle.

The philosophy at Oasis is that the most effective method of overcoming addiction involves a combination of all three of these methods.

Treatment Methods

Addiction counselling offered at Oasis Counselling Centre comprises group therapy and individual counselling sessions where addicts can face and confront the underlying emotional issues that form the root of their addiction.

A Twelve Step programme provides a way for them to remain abstinent once they have left their treatment centre. Members of a Twelve Step fellowship apply themselves daily to the principles and suggestions of the programme which keeps them motivated and able to cope with whatever life throws their way.

Whilst undergoing therapy at Oasis Counselling Centre, clients participate in daily beach walks, weekly nature excursions, practise yoga and meditation, and enjoy healthy, tasty and nourishing food.

“A healthy lifestyle is an important part of recovery. Addiction is a disease that causes significant physical damage to sufferers,” says Wright. “Our philosophy at Oasis Counselling Centre is to provide excellence in counselling in an environment that is nurturing.”

Addiction is a serious condition which should be treated with professional addiction counselling at a professional rehabilitation centre.  Oasis Counselling Centre in Plettenberg Bay provides dedicated in-patient treatment to overcome addiction.
