Alcohol and drug addiction assessment and recovery programme in Kenya

Does this sound like you?

• What is the addiction to alcohol and drugs that holds people to their own illusion of happiness when they hurt every other person in their life?
• Do they know what they are doing when intoxicated or high, and can they remember the following day?
• Is addiction a mental disease, and does it have treatment?
• Is an outpatient recovery programme as effective as an inpatient programme?
• Do you have a family member trapped in addiction, and the family is almost tired?
• Are you addicted to alcohol and/or drugs? Do you know there is help closer to you than you can imagine?
• Have you ever seen a drunk person fall into a ditch, dirty and messed up? That is someone’s son or daughter who started to use substances out of curiosity, to experiment, or because of availability?
• Do you drink at home before your children? You are a great teacher, and soon they will try it out from the liquor in the family fridge; then one day, you will be the reason they will be picked from ditches like the one you keep finding in the marketplace.
• Join us to declare that addiction is a mental disease and that it can be prevented or treated.
