Contact is made with drug addicts via consultations at our office. The drug addict is then screened and motivated to attend “out patients” programmes at various venues, days and times. However, if need be, they will admitted as in-patients. Regular assessments are done by a team comprising of medical doctors, social workers, drug counsellors, etc to monitor the recovery whilst in the centre.
The in-patient programme could take anything from 6 weeks to 6 months depending on individual progress. Among other things, a lot of effort is made to reunite the drug addict with his/her family and to empower them with skills development programmes while they are at the centre.On release, they attend the outpatient programmes conducted by R.A.U.F. This support group process continues for 2 years per individual.
The programmes that we run are based on Islamic ethos. This includes Salaah, Zikr, Quranic recitations, etc. Non-muslim service users are accommodated with regards to religious practices.
Group therapy sessions are regularly conducted to dismantle the psyche of individuals and encourage them in recovery. An environment of “family and brotherhood” pervades that fosters our “FRIENDS FOR LIFE” objectives.
