South Africa has one of the highest rising rates of addicts in the
world with the majority between the ages of 22 and 35 years old,
37% are unemployed (SANCA 2011). Once an addict decides to ask for
help, it is very difficult to obtain coherent advice about how to
proceed with their recovery - this book aims to do this. To date
there are no local books which help recovering addicts and there
families. Recovery RSA is the go-to guide for recovering addicts,
families, significant others, professionals, para-professionals and
support people. It provides background information on treatment
options, as well as useful and practical guidelines to help people
navigate their way through the recovery process in South Africa.
Recovery RSA documents the South African experience within the
field of addiction recovery. The collection was developed in an
attempt to document our local South African knowledge, skill and
practice in one resource, and to share this with others, in the
hope that it will bring some understanding, strength and hope to
those who are affected by addiction.
The first edition of The Struggle for Health was published in 1985
and was widely acclaimed by those seeking a broader and deeper
political understanding of ill health, beyond the medical model of
care. It was a revolutionary book, charting new ways of
understanding and tackling the causes of ill health, and suggesting
strategies to enable health for all. This second edition includes
health problems that have emerged since the 1980s, notably
HIV/AIDs, COVID-19, and other epidemics, and the increase in
non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and
diabetes. It examines some of the health impacts of globalization,
specifically on the food and pharmaceutical value chains, and
considers the consequences of climate change on the health of
populations. However, this edition does not depart from the core
message of the original book: Health for All can only be achieved
through a more equitable distribution of wealth, resources, and
power. The Struggle for Health, Second Edition, utilises the same
approach as the first, with a narrative that begins with diseases,
then describes historical trends and the limitation of the medical
(and commercial) model of care. At each juncture, it asks the
question 'WHY' - why do people, especially children, still die in
large numbers throughout the world, from wholly preventable
diseases? Why is it that appropriate provision for health care is
not available to every individual in the world? What changes can be
made to improve this situation? Most importantly, this edition
presents a strengthened call to action, building upon the original
work and advocating for systemic changes to ensure justice and
equity in health for all.
