 PREPARING FOR THE ARCA EXPERIENCE

For me, perhaps the most important thing was the will to do something about my problem. If one is not motivated and willing to confront one’s addiction, I would not recommend attending the programme. The medical director and founder of ARCA in South Africa, Dr Naidoo, makes it very clear from the outset that one must have a minimum level of motivation.

ARCA caters for a very diverse cross-section of society. Do not expect an exclusive hideaway where one can cut oneself off from the world around you. You will share a room with up to five others and live at close quarters. You will eat at a communal dining table. The food is perfectly adequate, but do not expect gourmet cuisine!

Cellphones, iPads and laptops are allowed on a limited basis AFTER the Detox period on a limited basis, more as a Need to Have basis. At specified times of day, one may collect one’s phone from safekeeping in the office and make calls. Visitors are allowed after the initial detox period, but not on Sundays. Any money you bring with you is kept in safe-keeping.

While at ARCA, you will be among other people who are also fighting addiction. In my view, being an active participant in a mutually supportive group is very therapeutic. Be aware that both you and your fellow participants may be highly vulnerable, and it is important to avoid “glamourising” one’s former alcohol and drug habits in conversations. Always remember the misery and suffering that one’s addiction has brought upon oneself as well as our families and friends.

Come with an open mind, and a resolve to beat the scourge of addition!

Things to bring with you:

  • Casual clothing
  • Swimwear
  • Towels
  • Toiletries
  • Snacks, sweets, soft drinks etc.
  • If you smoke, sufficient cigarettes
  • Reading material
  • Prescription medication (which is handed in and dispensed in accordance with medical instructions)

What NOT to bring:

  • A negative attitude – ARCA gives you the opportunity to change your life for the better. Embrace this opportunity!
  • Any medication that has not been specifically prescribed; alcohol; and/or any drugs. You and your baggage WILL be thoroughly searched.
  • Cellphones and Laptops are allowed on a limited basis AFTER the Detox period on a limited basis, more as a Need to Have basis.

Coffee. Tea is readily available and juices are served with meals.

 ARCA offers people suffering from addiction a practical and sustainable path to recovery, and the opportunity to restore one’s life to one of happiness, satisfaction and quality. Of course, this requires motivation and effort, but the unique combination of medication, therapy and a truly caring environment makes this a lot easier. The ARCA Jhb experience can truly transform your life.
