Those who have dealt with addicts. Do their mental health deteriorate after leaving rehab

Ni kama Kimani Mbugua hali inaendelea kua mbaya… I have heard people say addicts get worse after they leave rehab

Very sad. I have a close friend currently in rehab so I insincerely hope they get better after their stay there. It’s painful seeing someone who was so promising, mtu ameenda flight school, A- high school etc just losing it all juu ya pombe.

unpopular opinion that most will argue about… Chances of getting redeemed once you get yourself into a rehab or mental institution for treatment, chances of getting back to a normal healthy life are slim.

The “treatment” both medically or otherwise patients undergo in those institutions end up damaging many for life.

Pombe people joke with it lakini sio ya kila mtu, I nearly lost it all because of alcohol. Nilifutwa kazi, Nyumba nikachotewa na auctioneers, nearly lost wife and kids. Family and my wife, God bless her, ndio walinisaidia. These days naona pombe kwa mbali naondokea.
Rehab is just the beginning, ukitoka is where the real challenge begins. People, not their fault, expect you to be back to normal, rent ndio hio, uko job, forget difficulties za kupata kazi. rent, school fees umeulizwa, your friends walihepa kitambo and probably will never want to associate with you. Not easy if you do not have some support system who know what they are doing.

The best place to heal ni kwa nature huko ocha.

Snatch away the gadgets and send him akuje huku ukulima. Two years of mingling with villagers, drinking bussaa, disco matanga will help him.

Hii kitu ya sijui rehab in 6months is just a waste.

From stories rehab si shida but post rehab and reintegrating so kama hakuna support bado the former addict anapitia stigma lazima mentally anaweza fyatu.

Rehab is a waste of time and money. Mtu akitaka kuwa sober anaacha tu kujitakia.
