Finding Professional Help

JIFIX Detox is a peer support community, not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care. If you're struggling with substance use, consider:

• Speaking with your primary care physician or a healthcare provider in Kenya
• Finding a licensed therapist or counselor specializing in addiction
• Consulting with mental health professionals at facilities like Mathari Hospital or private clinics
• Exploring treatment programs (inpatient, outpatient, or intensive outpatient) available in Kenya
• Attending support group meetings (AA, NA, SMART Recovery, etc.) - many groups operate in major Kenyan cities
• Contacting community health centers or religious organizations that may offer counseling services

Withdrawal Warning

Important: Withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, or certain other substances can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Please seek medical supervision if you're planning to detox, especially if you have a history of severe withdrawal symptoms.
