This is achieved by

• In-patient detoxification
• Recognising that there is a problem in the first place
• Accepting help and guidance
• Exploring issues
• Developing strategies to change detrimental addictive behaviour patterns
• Learning to develop more positive coping mechanisms
• Formulating and implementing an ongoing daily structure to facilitate a contented recovery
