Najjat Markaz
Najjat Markaz offers a complete solution to help people get freedom from drugs addiction. The treatment philosophy recognizes there are three dimensions of drugs problem: physical, psychological and social. Accordingly, the treatment process in this center comprises three stages. It begins with detoxification of the patient’s physical body system. Allopathic medicine is employed for this purpose. The treatment is planned by qualified Psychiatrists. Once the physical system is completely cleansed, the treatment enters the next phase which is psycho rehabilitation. In this phase, patients are given psychological treatment to develop and strengthen their will to minimize the chances of relapse. Finally, the patients are counseled in a formal and well thought out way. Group meetings are held and counseling is provided to help the now healthy outgoing people to integrate in the society like responsible and useful citizens. This is the last phase of the treatment. The treatment in these three stages is made possible with the help of qualified and experienced medical staff, psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors. Minimum duration of the treatment is 30 days.
It is deemed extremely important that the system is designed, operated and reviewed such that any likelihood of access to drugs is completely eliminated.
