Substance Abuse in South Africa – Is there a way out?

So many people are caught up in substance abuse in South Africa, and the real question on everyone’s mind is there a way out? A way that really helps and does not just deliver a short term fix to the addiction problem. I myself have recently had a first hand experience when it comes to heroin addiction. It is really sad to think of how many young teenagers get mixed up with drugs these days.

In the old days the average age of a person that was addicted to drugs was roughly 24. These days it starts at a much earlier age namely 14 and sometimes even younger, substance abuse in South Africa is no different from the international sector. Now drug rehabilitation centres are filled with kids and the question is how is this possible?

Where are the parents? How can children be able to roam free and obtain drugs without the parents knowing or realising something is wrong? See when it comes to substance abuse in South Africa I believe that parents are one of the main reasons so many children get caught up in drug addiction.

Here is a country report on substance abuse in South Africa.

Parents just stuff their kids hands full of money drop them of at the mall and let them do what they want. Where is the Godly responsibility gone that has been bestowed upon parents to look after their children and to make it their point to care and know what is going on in their children’s lives? Parents just seem not to care at all any more…Substance Abuse South Africa

I recently was engaged to a recovering heroin addict and I have to say her mother was one of the biggest reasons my fiancé kept on relapsing. My ex fiancé is only 21 years of age, and has been on and off heroin for over 4 years now. With my experience when it comes to drug addiction and substance abuse in South Africa, I advised the mother on what to do and not to do time and again, but to no prevail did the mother listen to me.

Its like the mother just pretended nothing is wrong with her daughter using heroin and stealing the money I kept paying in the mother’s bank account for food and other necessities. I mean really how difficult can it be to keep her from taking your bank card or changing your pin or just keeping her locked up? In my experience there is only one way out.

The only way out from substance abuse in South Africa is going to rehab and there is only one rehab I know off that works and that is Noupoort Christian Care Centre. For more advise or help to get yourself or a loved one into rehab, please contact us now.

    Where can I take heroin addicts that live on the street and really want to be rehabilitated?
    Please help.
    They don’t have funds.

      To tell you the truth you will have to go to your church, community, friends and family, try to run a fund-raiser.

      Unfortunately all rehabs even Christian ones cost money to keep up and going.

      But what you can do is send me motivational letters from these Heroin addicts and all info you have on them and details and I will send to a few Christian rehabs and lets see if one can help.

      God bless,
