Addiction Treatment Program
Comprehensive, humane rehabilitation for people affected by substance and behavioral addictions.
About this Treatment
Cuba's Addiction Treatment Program is a comprehensive, humane rehabilitation model that combines medical detoxification, psychological therapy, and social reintegration. Delivered in dedicated residential centers, the program treats substance addictions (alcohol, drugs, nicotine) and behavioral addictions through a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and addiction specialists. The Cuban approach emphasizes dignity, community support, and long-term relapse prevention.
Symptoms
Loss of control over substance use; intense cravings; withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, tremors, sweating, nausea); neglect of responsibilities and relationships; tolerance requiring increasing doses; continued use despite harm; social isolation; mood swings and sleep disturbances.
Treatment Benefits
Medically supervised, safe detoxification; structured residential environment away from triggers; individual and group therapy addressing root causes; development of coping and relapse-prevention skills; family involvement and education; physical health restoration through nutrition and exercise; aftercare planning for sustained recovery.
Candidate Criteria
Adults (18+) with substance or behavioral addictions; medically stable for residential treatment; motivated to engage in rehabilitation; no acute psychiatric crisis requiring hospitalization. International patients must provide recent medical history and list of current medications.
Procedure Overview
1) Intake assessment and medical evaluation. 2) Supervised detoxification with medication to manage withdrawal. 3) Residential rehabilitation (typically 28–90 days) combining individual therapy, group counseling, and psychoeducation. 4) Holistic activities: physical therapy, art therapy, meditation. 5) Family therapy sessions. 6) Relapse-prevention planning and discharge.
