If you or a loved one need help kicking an addiction, whether it’s alcohol, drugs, gambling, (or even the Internet), try The Cabin Singapore
We all have our vices. For some, it’s shopping. For others, it’s exercise or even one’s smartphone. While these habits and obsessions seem to pale in the light of more serious drug and alcohol abuse, addictions (and by that we actually mean being truly dependent on something) of any kind can significantly affect your life. Let’s face it – being a slave to anything isn’t good news.
As with all things, the first step in solving a problem is to recognise that there is one. “Most people suffering from addiction never seek treatment because they believe that if they can still hold down a job and function in society, they do not really have a problem. However, addiction is a chronic disease that creeps up on you slowly and worsens with time,” says Alastair Mordey, the programme director of The Cabin Addiction Services Group, a leading private addiction treatment provider with a collection of inpatient and outpatient treatment centres around the globe. The Cabin Singapore is a subsidiary of the highly successful The Cabin Chiang Mai residential addiction treatment facility in Thailand.
“It’s better to seek treatment sooner rather than later”, Mordey adds. “Don’t wait until your addiction forces you into inpatient rehab. The more you try to avoid the problem, the longer you and your loved ones have to suffer the terrible consequences.”
The path to recovery – whether it’s from substance (alcohol and drugs) or process (sex, gambling, Internet) addictions – surely isn’t a bed of roses, not to mention the stigma surrounding such issues. If you’re seeking help that provides complete anonymity, The Cabin Singapore may be your answer. The specialist outpatient addiction treatment clinic will also work around your busy work schedules and family obligations, so you can still go about your routine.
One method that The Cabin Singapore frequently uses is the Recovery Zones, an intensive outpatient programme that consists of both individual counselling and group therapy. More specifically, it’s an effective combination of the best-known addiction treatments available today, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, 12 Step principles and Mindfulness therapy. Besides Recovery Zones, the centre also offers private individual counselling, motivational interviewing, trauma and addiction therapy, family therapy, aftercare, psychiatric assessment and medication review, as well as fast-track access to The Cabin Chiang Mai – all in an effort to help you regain control of your life.
