Monitoring of the programme

Monitoring and evaluating client progress is important to determine the success of the programme. Drug tests are therefore conducted regularly. Negative results (indicating no trace of drugs) serve as an enormous source of encouragement for clients, their families and therapists alike. Clients who successfully complete the programme attend a special award ceremony at which they receive a certificate and a gift from one of SANCA’s sponsors in acknowledgement of their fine achievements.

All programmes comply with the current draft minimum standards for out-patient treatment and are evaluated on a regular basis by SANCA’s management team or an external team of evaluators.
