If someone you love is suffering from drug addiction, you will know the pain of loss and the struggle it is for both of you to remain in a relationship. The addict is consumed by his or her need for the drugs that are ruining their life and cannot think of anything else. They cannot be trusted with responsibility, or to do what they say they are going to do, unless that is to get more drugs.
Unfortunately, they cannot help this terrible effect the drugs are having on them because taking drugs changes the way the brain works. To get off the drugs they need specialised drug rehab treatment. And since they spend any money they get on drugs, it is usually their loved ones that have to pay for that treatment. In Australia, the cost of drug rehabilitation at a facility such as Sivana Rehab can be prohibitive, given that it takes at least a month of full time care and can take longer, depending on the level of addiction.
People tend to seek treatment overseas, both for privacy and for the more affordable cost. Bali and Thailand have traditionally been the two places people go, but in fact, Bali is the best option because it is far easier to get to and far more affordable than the Australian treatment.
In Bali, the treatment centre is located in a quiet, serene and beautiful setting that in itself will help to restore balance to the addict’s life. It is close to a major hospital should that be required and the staff are highly trained in treating drug addiction. In fact, because of their very nature the health care team don’t judge or condemn those they treat. Instead, they are treated with kindness, compassion and respect.
