How is TARA Detox different from East West Detox or other organisations; have you copied their program?
• The TARA Detox approach to addiction uses Buddhist precepts and principles as motivators for change; and I actively promote the Thamkrabok Monastery’s concept and practice of Sajja as a tool for relapse prevention. • The TARA Detox program does NOT embrace any western model of addiction and so may be considered by some as unorthodox. • The program requires total abstinence: “To undertake to refrain from taking intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness”. • The programs will be tailor made to the individual needs. • The program can include Acudetox (Auricular Acupuncture – NADAUK protocol). • The program can include Anapanasati meditation (“Breathing-in, breathing-out with mindfulness”). • The program can include counselling sessions if appropriate. • A very important difference is that the TARA Detox program is not limited to methadone addicts. The program is designed to tackle ALL addictions from a Buddhist perspective irrespective of the substance involved.
