Our treatment philosophy
We do not treat addiction alone; we treat the person behind it, their story, their family, and the life they deserve to return to.
Non-negotiable confidentiality
Your information and your family’s information never leave the center, and the first consultation is possible without giving your name.
A plan for one person
There is no one-size-fits-all program; every plan is built around the patient’s substance, history, and mental health condition.
Round-the-clock supervision
A doctor and nurses are available day and night, especially during the harder first days.
An environment that supports healing
A calm, comfortable place away from triggers, where patients feel dignity rather than isolation.

Treatment programs
Programs designed for every stage of the recovery journey
From the first moment of detox to the years of life after treatment, every stage has its own program, team, and clear goal. Learn about all our addiction treatment programs.
Medical detoxEvery program begins with a comprehensive assessment and is adjusted as the patient progresses.
The first and most sensitive stage. We manage withdrawal symptoms in a calm medical setting, with round-the-clock monitoring of vital signs and medications that ease pain, anxiety, and insomnia and prevent complications.
- Comprehensive medical and psychological assessment on admission
- Round-the-clock medical and nursing supervision
- A protocol tailored to the substance and the length of use
A full residential stay for men, away from triggers, with a carefully designed day that balances individual and group sessions, therapeutic activities, and time to rest, to rebuild the person and not merely stop the substance.
- Individual and group cognitive behavioral therapy
- A structured daily routine with healthy sleep and nutrition
- Sports, arts, and mindfulness activities
For people with addiction together with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or psychosis. A psychiatrist leads the plan and both conditions are treated together, because treating only one leaves the door open to relapse.
- Accurate psychiatric diagnosis once withdrawal has stabilized
- Medication adjusted under close follow-up
- Psychotherapy that links the illness and the substance use
For stable cases or for after residential treatment: regular sessions and medical visits without interrupting work or study, with periodic lab tests and appointments coordinated with your work and studies as far as possible.
- Regular individual and group sessions
- Medical check-ups and periodic lab tests
- Appointments set by the team together with the patient
Addiction affects the whole household. Family counseling sessions teach the family how to support without enabling substance use, how to deal with relapse, and how to rebuild trust step by step.
- Regular family counseling sessions
- Awareness workshops on addiction and recovery
- A plan for the home after the patient is discharged
Recovery does not end at the center’s door. Together with the patient, we set a clear plan for triggers and moments of weakness, and we stay in touch after they return to daily life.
- A personal relapse prevention plan
- Support groups for people in recovery
- Contact and follow-up after discharge

Ask on WhatsAppHow do I choose a good addiction treatment hospital in Egypt?
A good addiction treatment hospital or facility is one licensed by the Ministry of Health, led by a psychiatrist, offering safe detox under round-the-clock medical supervision, treating dual diagnosis, involving the family, and following up after discharge. Eradah Hospital in Sheikh Zayed has been licensed (No. 1427) since 2015, and its first consultation is free.
What is the difference between an addiction hospital, center, and residential facility?
In Egypt the three names are used for roughly the same kind of place. What matters is not the name but the license, the presence of a psychiatrist, and round-the-clock medical supervision. Eradah is a licensed psychiatry and addiction treatment center that offers residential treatment and outpatient treatment.
Is Eradah Hospital licensed?
Yes. The Eradah Psychiatry & Addiction Treatment Center is licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population (No. 1427) and has operated in Sheikh Zayed City, Giza, since 2015. Residential treatment is for men, and the first consultation is available to everyone free of charge.
Is treatment at Eradah confidential?
Yes. The information of patients and their families is treated with complete confidentiality, and the first consultation is free and can be requested without giving your name, whether you are asking about yourself or about someone you love.
How long does addiction treatment take?
It varies with the substance, the length of use, and any accompanying mental health condition. Detox usually takes from a few days to two weeks, while rehabilitation typically extends over several weeks set by the treatment team after the assessment, and follow-up continues after discharge.
Can a patient be admitted against their will?
It is always best for the patient to come by their own decision, which is why we help families with how to talk to them and encourage them. Admission without consent is subject to the conditions of Egypt’s Mental Health Care law and to the doctor’s assessment, and our advisors can explain what applies in your situation.
Can addiction be treated at home?
This is not recommended in most cases. Withdrawal from alcohol and sedatives can be life-threatening, opioid withdrawal is harsh and pushes people toward relapse, and lowered tolerance after stopping raises the risk of overdose.
Can the patient be visited during their stay?
Yes, according to a visiting schedule organized by the treatment team to suit the stage of treatment. The family is an essential part of recovery, not a guest in it.
Is addiction a weakness of willpower?
No. Addiction is a disease that changes the brain’s reward and self-control circuits, which is why many people fail to stop despite sincerely wanting to. Willpower is necessary, but it needs treatment that restores the brain’s balance, and that is where our name comes from.
