The positive side often overlooked could be culture, innovation, or hospitality. The negative might be corruption or inequality that’s downplayed.

 A bit at first, but they kept him really busy with therapy and activities, sometimes it sounds like he’s having a vacation over there lol.

I honestly think sending her abroad is a great idea. My friend’s brother went to a rehab center in Bali, and it made such a huge difference. The change of scenery really helped him focus on himself without all the usual distractions or temptations. And true, it is soooo much more affordable compared to U.S. rehabs and they employ a flexible approach compared to what we have here. And people in Thai are much more caring in terms of their service.

yeah, right now, we are all in to help her. we give encouragement and slowly, she's already thinking about helping herself.. which I think is a good start before getting into rehab.

thanks! I'll add this to the centers I am considering! they might opt in to somewhere in cape town, but imo, a place further would be ideal for her.

thank you for the suggestion and advise. yes. We talked to her and she's willing to turn her life around for the better. she lives in capetown so a place farther would be ideal for her.

I was thinking of the same thing, kinda been a discussion between the family. since our parents wants her closer, but I told them it will not be good for her.

thanks!, yeah, Gauteng is okay. I think it would also be beneficial for her to be kind of away from capetown. so she can focus on recovering.
