Programmes:
Awareness Creation and Preventive work We are dealing with preventive work to minimise substance use among high-risk populations especially young people and children. Epidemiological studies have shown that most addictions start in adolescence, and when a teenager's pleasure-chemical systems aren't fully developed and then get wired to depend on substances for feeling good. Many of our clients are young people and need treatments to overcome the problems they are facing. Rehabilitation Drug rehabilitation programs at Blue Cross Tanzania, provide education on substance abuse, alcoholism, drug addiction and chemical dependency, as well as the necessary emotional and spiritual support for recovery. We feel it is important for each patient to understand the symptoms and progression of substance abuse, drug abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction. We enabling clients to better understand how the symptoms of drug and alcohol addiction have affected their lives as well as the lives of those around them. All clients participate in both one-on-one counseling and small group sessions focused on recovery oriented issues.
