Change Network was set up to help others through the tough process of rehabilitation and then to help provide a bridge to normal living. At Change we really understand the heartache of the addict and their family, as we have been there and we want to help.
We are not connected to just one rehabilitation centre. Change has relationships with the various rehab clinics that have the best success rates and treatment programmes available.
The Change Network has helped many people through the process in different ways. Many high profile clients and celebrities have been flown to clinics after a successful intervention and their process has then been managed. At Change clients that just want to be pointed into the right direction are all serious inquiries to us. We want to help and we care.
On my reflection, it took me a while to come to terms that I needed help and I tried so many times to stop gambling and set myself limits that failed every time.
I could not stop on my own. My father then talked to me about entering treatment. I knew deep down I needed to go as I could not stop without some help.
After treatment I went to work. Years on I noticed that addiction plagued the world and many people feared making that first step towards receiving the correct type of help.
I started the Change Network service because I wanted to provide a bridge of information to help families and addicts towards the right path to starting treatment.
I do this because all of us, with any addiction problem, need help to stop. Halting addiction on our own is a lonely and very difficult task. I have not heard of anyone with a serious addiction to stop on his or her own.
Rehabilitation provides long-term recovery and is the basis of success for treatment of addiction. It provides addicts and their families with a chance of solving the problems that once caused them so much pain and grief. We want to offer the greatest possible chance of this happening and that fits hand in hand with the ability for the individual to get the top possible treatment for the primary illness.
We are not a clinic. We advise and give guidance on clinics throughout the world and provide you with a plan...
The first step we take is to have a consultation with the individual seeking treatment. Where a concerned friend or family member contacts us, we will go through the options available in order to move the process forward. At this stage, it is highly recommended that an Intervention takes place, where it is clear that an individual is unaware of a condition they may have, is in denial, or simply not in control of themselves or their situation. Once this stage is complete, the individual is then sent to a Rehabilitation Clinic and receives an administrative consultation. They are explained in detail the benefits of rehab and the processes involved. The next stage (where applicable) is for the client to go through a Detox program. This stage can last from a couple of days to several weeks and involves specialist care and constant supervision. Upon completion of the detox, the client can then start their Primary Care rehabilitation, which involves intense therapy and counselling. Additional Secondary Care and Tertiary Care may also be required. The final stage is Aftercare, which includes Group Counselling and One-On-One Therapy which aids in avoiding relapse.
We can arrange sessions with the top counsellors or psychiatrists in the field of addiction!
