Treatment for nyaope/whoonga:

As with most drugs, whoonga may first be taken as an ‘escape’ – emotional problems, underlying issues, stress. No one starts off wanting to become an addict, however, addiction is a slippery slope and once you’re caught in it, it is extremely difficult to get out of.

As with all addictions, this one can be treated, but the addict may have to be medically screened to determine the main addiction (usually cannabis and heroin). The appropriate withdrawal treatment can then be administered. The underlying reasons for the addiction are determined by therapeutic means and the applicable therapy is then formulated to set the addict on a new road to self-fulfillment and a better life.
