Core Counselings
The Core Counseling strategies and structures at Dr. Bilal Warraich & Team, NIDA Clinic Lahore, are designed to meet the needs of patients, their families, and the overall effectiveness of treatment programs. We provide both short-term and long-term residential care, as well as outpatient treatment options.
During inpatient care, patients and their families undergo a structured curriculum to better understand the recovery journey. Separate training sessions are conducted for patients and families, covering core issues such as addiction and mental health. Patients also learn 12-step concepts and participate in emotional regulation sessions.
In the final month of inpatient treatment, the focus shifts strongly to relapse prevention. The program emphasizes education on the disease model of addiction and alcoholism while also addressing a range of psychiatric conditions, including Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Autism, ADHD in children, PTSD, and OCD. Additionally, we specialize in counseling for marital discord and cases of runaway behavior, ensuring comprehensive support for both patients and their families
Core Counseling is designed to increase the client’s awareness of their condition and build a deeper understanding of its impact on their biological, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being.
The family has to get training on addiction treatment separately with mental health professionals. On this approach, training is given to the families by psycho-educating them about the disease. They should help in Grief Recovery and Co-dependency which plays a big role in the disease. Families’ training is based on the structured intervention and provides great improvement in the recovery of the patient. They should learn Assertiveness and tough love which greatly benefits them in handling their loved ones once they are out of the indoor treatment. Lastly, families should get an education on relapse prevention and stay sober.
