What does the public system offer in Paphos?

The public system in Paphos offers outpatient care: OKYpY’s opioid substitution unit, free outpatient rehabilitation and counseling for adults, minors and families listed in NAAC’s guide, an open therapeutic center for people using opioids, and an outpatient gambling program that accepts young people from age 16. Most entries in the guide are free.

OKYpY’s published list of addiction units shows no inpatient detox ward or residential unit in Paphos, so people who need a live-in stay are referred to services in other districts. NAAC’s 1402 line can explain which service fits and help arrange a referral.

For alcohol, OKYpY’s adult addiction center in Nicosia, reached on 22465616, accepts people over 22 from every district, Paphos included. The nearest emergency department is 0.9 miles from the center of Paphos, and 8 hospitals lie within 10 miles of the city.

Outpatient rehab in Paphos

Outpatient rehab in Paphos is listed at nearly all of the city’s rehabs, and the estimated typical range for private outpatient care is €700 to €2,400 a month. People attend sessions while living at home, which suits someone with work or family commitments who does not need medical supervision around the clock.

Mental health treatment is listed at nearly all of the rehabs in Paphos, so a program can address anxiety, low mood or stress alongside drinking or drug use. Mental health treatment appears in the same listings as outpatient care. Weekly sessions can be planned around work, and a program can say how many hours a week it expects in the first month and how that changes as treatment goes on.

Who do Paphos rehabs serve?

Paphos rehabs serve a wide age range: nearly all of them list care for young adults and for older adults, and nearly all list outpatient care for older people. Both men and women are served at nearly all, with separate men’s outpatient and women’s outpatient programs.

Later-life drinking and misuse of prescribed medicines can be harder to spot, so programs used to working with older people can take account of other health conditions and medicines. Greek is the treatment language at nearly all of the rehabs in Paphos, so anyone who needs English should ask at the first call.

Is alcohol treatment available for Paphos residents?

Alcohol treatment for Paphos residents is available through the free outpatient rehabilitation and counseling in the city, which NAAC’s guide lists under a range covering illicit drugs, alcohol and gambling, and through OKYpY’s adult center in Nicosia, which accepts alcohol cases from anywhere in Cyprus for people over 22.
