OUR PROGRAMS

REHABILITATION

Reception

This is the first point of contact with Oum el Nour. Individuals with an addiction problem are diagnosed in order to identify the root problem and provide the proper advice and support. Patients are then referred to suitable treatment departments through inpatient or outpatient programs. .

Inpatient Rehabilitation

Patients undergo rehabilitation therapy with total abstinence from drugs and alcohol. The treatment lasts for 15 months, divided into 4 stages, and aims to provide structure and discipline with a focus on sharing day-to-day life in order to improve interaction, communication, emotional control and self-improvement.

Outpatient Rehabilitation

Patients who can manage daily life more easily may be suitable for outpatient rehabilitation. The treatment aims at giving them an opportunity to lead an independent, drug-free life through individual therapy sessions as well as support groups. Parental support also plays an important role in this treatment category.

Follow-up

After having completed the 15-month inpatient program, individuals are encouraged to partake actively and independently in their community to facilitate social integration, with added support to prevent relapse.
