A few words about
Our Units
Our organization has different units to help serve you better
Psychological Unit
Understandably, mental illness often poses a significant obstacle to progress in the treatment of drug use disorders. Research has shown that individuals with substance use disorders with underlying psychiatric complications often do poorly in traditional drug treatment regardless of the quality, unless their mental health problem is also treated. Therefore, the center provides treatment for mental ill health to clients found with dual diagnosis of substance use disorder and mental illness, or mental illness alone as the case may be. Services on mental health and Life skills training are assessed in this unit and clients are referred to our empowerment programmes as the need arises.
The Medical Unit
Medical and Physical cases are handled by this section. A Standard Medical Laboratory is in place for testing to help in diagnosis of medical cases, for initial assessment of HIV, while confirmatory tests are carried out by a center recommended by ICISAT. We also provide drug and alcohol screening services in other to ascertain specific drugs of abuse when an individual comes into treatment and as means of monitoring abstinence in recovery.
