Social Use Disorder - Treatment and Rehabilitation, Reintegration and Aftercare.

Sibongile Mofokeng and Mr. Thato Mmotla discuss Social Use Disorder treatment, rehabilitation, reintegration, and aftercare. Treatment and rehabilitation aim to reduce the physical, mental, emotional, and financial harm caused by substance abuse by equipping individuals and their families with coping tools to address underlying challenges. Reintegration involves social interventions focused on housing, education, and employment to support former substance users' return to community life. Aftercare provides ongoing professional support after formal treatment to maintain sobriety, personal growth, self-reliance, and social functioning. Critical contact numbers for support include the Substance Abuse WhatsApp Chat Line 087 163 2015, helpline 0800 12 13 14, and regional offices like Ekurhuleni 011 820 0300, Johannesburg 011 355 9200, Tshwane 012 359 3300, among others.
