Who needs to come to a drug rehab?

There are so many misperceptions out there about what a Drug Rehabilitation Centre actually does. Maybe not so much a misperception but perhaps a bad reputation caused over decades of bad experiences and bad rehab practices and programs. It is unfortunate that many do not understand the benefit of a great rehabilitation program.

Jahara Treatment Centre has completely changed the approach to treating addiction and other associated disorders and problems. We offer a comprehensive program that many who attend indicate would benefit everyone - not just the drug addicts or alcoholics. In fact many have commented that it would make for an excellent gap year experience to learn about yourself, your purpose and how to survive in the world today.

Many loved ones of those who have been fortunate enough to come to Jahara often indicate that they would love to come and do the program. The ability to take a time out and to rediscover who you are and more importantly who you want to be is an extraordinary opportunity that sadly many are never afforded.

Jahara Treatment Centre is far from the “old school”, labour intensive, super spiritualized program and Centre’s that many have become accustomed too. Rehabilitation is no longer seem as a punishment for a moral problem but a comprehensive treatment program for those who struggle with addiction. Individuals who fall into addiction are often those individuals who have so much talent, are super intelligent and have potential that is not seen in most of society. They were once the top students, the best sportsman, the softest and most gentlest souls. Their illness has robbed them of this and all they need is the right support to get it back.

We provide a therapeutic community structure that creates a safe atmosphere and environment for those in our care to truly get to challenge and come to know oneself. A place where through the guidance and direction of trained and qualified professionals one is able to completely reinvent and redefine yourself from the ground up. A place to rediscover your underlying talents and gifts and to harness the drive and motivation once put into addiction into a meaningful life.

Jahara provides a place where you can deal with your past, learn about your emotions and the emotions of others, develop compassion and empathy and practice the virtues that make for a productive and fully functioning member of society. This program guides you towards your purpose and opens the doors for a life-long journey of success and blessings.

An addiction brings ones life crashing down. Life becomes completely unmanageable and unproductive and the consequences become life-threatening. This is the catalyst that pushes families and individuals to seek help. To reclaim their life and their purpose and to deal with the underlying driving factors that cause individuals to seek out behaviors and substances that give them a sense of control, purpose and belonging. What seems to be the worst thing that could ever happen to someone quickly becomes the best thing that could have ever happened to them once they get into the right treatment and realize what they actually posses - a drive and determination to live an extraordinary life.

If we are honest many who have been on the receiving end of someone else’s addiction often feel that they too need some form of therapeutic intervention - and they do. They too have lost themselves in the chaos. They too feel as if their own hopes and dreams have been robbed from them. They too wish for a way out. It is our experience that once a loved one finds true recovery the benefits ripple through the family and through society. This recovery process will benefit anyone who is involved in the most extraordinary ways.

If you or your family is being robbed by addiction find the right kind of help today. Put everything on hold and redirect your focus toward rediscovering yourself. Reclaim what is rightfully yours and you and your family will reap the rewards for the rest of your life. Recovery is probably the most beautiful thing that will ever happen to you and your family.
