Standardised treatment programmes have been developed in line with the latest research and according to International and National treatment principles and standards. SANCA offers treatment on a continuum of care from screening, assessment, medical treatment and therapeutic treatment for services users and families as well as aftercare services.

​

• A comprehensive SANCA Treatment Model was developed called 'Ukwelasha’ (which means treatment in iSiZulu) to ensure effective service delivery.

• A SANCA Outpatient Manual is available for emerging SANCA organisations to implement the treatment programmes for adults and adolescents.

• Comprehensive group work programmes called ‘Change or Be Changed’ and ‘Key-to-Life’ are examples of the programmes offered.

• All medical services have been standardised through the SANCA Medical Manual, a detoxification regime for Alcohol, the SAAMS opioid treatment guidelines as well as substitution therapy guidelines.

• The impact of treatment services is measured using STES (SANCA Treatment Evaluation Scale) developed by the University of Johannesburg as well as the DSM 5 Assessment tool for diagnosis developed by WITS University, SANCA also makes use of an Impact assessment tool to measure abstinence and change in behaviours over a two-year period for each client. 

• Aftercare is he most important part of treatment and, therefore, we have developed a SANCA aftercare APP powered by Android Smart Phones for service users as well as a structured aftercare programme called 'New Beginnings'.
