If you, or someone you know is battling with a substance abuse problem, there is help at hand.<\/p>\n
Transformation Halfway Houses (THH) is a group that has a few halfway houses in South Africa, and one is situated at 34 Rhodes Avenue, Parkhill Gardens.<\/p>
The aim of THH is firstly to offer a safe\/sober house suitable for people who are struggling with addictions.<\/p>\n
Apart from this, the group also gets involved with the community.<\/p>
THH is affiliated to the Freedom Recovery Centre (FRC), a well-established rehabilitation facility on the East Rand. FRC is also one of the only registered long term facilities in the country.<\/p>\n
THH also works with other rehab centres on the East Rand, as the group offers a secondary care programme.<\/p>\n
The Germiston halfway house offers an out-patient programme, testing centre and an in-patient programme at the house.<\/p>\n
The programme helps people with structure, employment, reintegration, relapse prevention, financial planning and accountability.<\/p>\n
Weekly support group meetings for parents and teens on substance abuse prevention and solutions are also held.<\/p>\n
THH is dedicated to the entire recovery process from substance abuse.<\/p>\n
The company was founded after the need arose for an effective after-care programme to help to reintegrate people into society once they had completed intense primary care treatment.<\/p>\n
Great emphasis is placed on a unique Relapse Prevention Plan and Accountability Contract.<\/p>\n
Each individual is accessed and a plan is formulated after discussing finances, curfews, employment, visitation and support structures with the person.<\/p>\n
THH works with companies, sponsors and parents to allow a person the safety, support and benefit of being in a structured, managed environment.<\/p>\n
Individual counselling, weekly progress reports, random drug testing and support groups which create the best possible environment for recovery are the norm.<\/p>\n
Meetings (sharing and a topic discussion) in Germiston are held at 7pm on Mondays, at the halfway house, at 34 Rhodes Avenue, Parkhill Gardens, as well as drug testing.<\/p>\n
On Wednesdays, at 7pm, the 12 Step programme is held, along with testing, at 7pm at the Elsburg Methodist Church.<\/p>\n
