Are there any drug and alcohol addiction rehab treatment centers in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia does not have any rehab treatment centers. Saudi Citizens travel abroad for treatment. One of the most popular treatment facilities for those in Saudi Arabia is Physis Recovery, which has a dedicated, award-winning program, treating just one client at a time in sublime opulence.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a zero tolerance legislative framework toward illegal substance use, which unfortunately often means  those suffering from burnout or substance use forgo treatment options and instead suffer from severe health implications. For more information contact

Understanding the Severity of Addiction in Saudi Arabia

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), Addiction in Saudi Arabia is diagnosed on a spectrum of eleven criteria, including:

Lack of control
Desire to quit but unable
Spending a lot of time trying to get the substance
Cravings
Lack of responsibility
Problems with relationships
Loss of interest
Dangerous use
Worsening situations
Tolerance
Withdrawal

The severity is determined by how many criteria you meet. For example, if two to three of the criteria apply to you, you would have a mild substance use disorder. But even if you have a mild diagnosis, you should still seek the help of qualified professionals.

When to go to Rehab in Saudi Arabia

Substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths globally though when it comes to addiction it can prove very difficult to admit that a problem exists.

As a general guide, if substance abuse and addictive behaviors are causing a negative effect on any aspect of your life then it’s time to consider a period of rehabilitation and recovery. If you’re questioning whether you may need help in rehabilitating your life then it’s very likely that you do, especially if your concerns are around alcohol, opioids or any other psychoactive substance.

Inpatient vs Outpatient Rehabs in Saudi Arabia
 

After the decision has been made to undertake a period of rehabilitation one of the first decisions will be to choose between inpatient rehab or outpatient treatment. At Worlds Best Rehab we are firm advocates of inpatient treatment models, given the greater chance of long-term complete recovery.

Statistically, those choosing residential treatment in 48-day, 60-day or 90-day programs stand a greater chance of success long-term. The 28-day rehab model can also be successful although do remember that if the 28-days includes a period of medical detox then the total number of ‘therapeutic days’ will be greatly reduced. For this very reason many rehabs in Saudi Arabia have after care or secondary treatment options to assist a client reintegrate into their new life in recovery.

Alcohol and Substance abuse is one of the biggest killers in the World with nearly 3 million directly attributable deaths per year and countless more unattributed. Even with these facts it remains the one with the most stigma. Worlds Best Rehab is designed to help people make informed choices about high end treatment for recovery from a life threatening condition.
