Addiction Treatment

Our Serene Green Transformation Centre is an ultra-modern Rehab that provides prevention and treatment for drug and substance abuse.

At the Institute we advocate treatment for a person addicted to addiction. In a society where a person ailing from addiction is stigmatized, condemned and at times imprisoned, we strongly profoundly stand treatment and as the primary intervention.

Our intent is to help affected individuals stop compulsive drug seeking and use. Treatment is a long-term process considering that addiction is a chronic disorder characterized by occasional relapses. We, therefore, provide interventions inform of behavioral therapy and medication.

  • Personal conflicts within couples or families
  • Trauma management arising from unexpected illness, death, unemployment, divorce, and separation

The aim is to strengthen family being the basic unit of the society.

Since 2012, Institute of African families have directly through seminars and workshops, camps, retreats, rites of passage ceremonies and individual and group counseling reached out to over 3,000 people.

Our Detailed Analytics On The African Family

Problems ailing the African family is multi-faceted and there is no single panacea.
Institute of African families (IAF) has actively participated in serving families and their respective members for the last five years. The focus has been on parenting seminars, children camps, personal development training, counseling services, research and publications and campaigns against abuse of Narcotics and alcohols.

The key stakeholders have been corporate organizations, churches, schools, families/parents and individuals who have sought counseling services the institute.

There remain glaring gaps in the parenting. We are in the era of competing authorities that are rearing to dethrone responsibility of nurturing children. The world has now more stressors that have made people affected in their mental health. It is not clear the personal development path.
