For 18 years I was addicted to codeine, also known as the legal heroine. I have been in 10 rehabs. Nine of the rehabs were private and medical aid paid for them.
All those places do is give you a handful of pills to take you of off the drug you are using and when you come out after three to six weeks you end up back on your drug of choice cause you haven’t got the handful of pills from the rehab.
On November 3, 2012 I went to House Regeneration in Pretoria (Oom Ado Krige’s place). House Regeneration changed my whole life around. There you don’t get medication for withdrawals, you do it alone and believe me it is the best way to do it. House Regeneration is a one-year programme and is Biblical based. You don’t have any doctors to give you other medication.
You get a lot of tough love and biblical therapy. Anyone who is struggling with drugs or alcohol would do themselves a favour if they went to House Regeneration, the management has a heart of gold and are a loving Christian family. I wish I had known about House Regeneration 18 years before I did.
The police are fighting drugs on the street but one can go to some doctors and you ask for certain medication and they don’t ask questions they just give it to you. Your heroine addicts, if they can’t get their dealers they go to the nearest pharmacy and buy anything with codeine in it as it does the same as heroine.
Please parents, if you think your child is on drugs test them, and if the test is positive go to Xtreme Buddies and they will put you in contact with House Regeneration.
It is only through the grace of God that I am alive today. He still has work for me to do.
