Mowafy Hospital for Addiction Treatment and Psychiatry

At Mowafy Hospital for Psychiatry and Addiction Treatment, we approach addiction as a complex health condition that requires a comprehensive assessment and an individualized treatment plan.

For us, addiction treatment does not begin simply by stopping the substance, and it does not end when withdrawal symptoms disappear.

Substance use disorders can affect physical health, mental wellbeing, behavior, family relationships, social life, work, education, and decision-making. For that reason, we focus on building a complete treatment journey that starts with medical and psychological assessment and may continue through withdrawal management, rehabilitation, psychological treatment, and follow-up after the main treatment program.

Every patient is different.

The substance being used is only one part of the clinical picture.

The duration of use, dosage, physical health, psychiatric history, previous treatment attempts, other medications, social environment, and history of relapse all influence the treatment plan.

We provide care for patients from Egypt and abroad. International patients and their families can also coordinate the treatment journey through Macrocare, from sharing initial medical information and requesting a preliminary treatment plan to understanding expected costs, arranging admission, and preparing for travel to Egypt.

Overview of Mowafy Hospital

Mowafy Hospital is a specialized psychiatry and addiction treatment facility located in Cairo.

Our services focus on substance use disorders, psychiatric care, psychological rehabilitation, behavioral treatment, and long-term recovery support.

Our experience in the field extends for more than ten years, with treatment programs covering the main stages of addiction recovery.

These services may include medical and psychological assessment, withdrawal management, detoxification, individual therapy, group therapy, rehabilitation programs, family support, relapse prevention, and follow-up after discharge.

We also provide mental health services beyond addiction treatment, including assessment and management of a range of psychiatric and behavioral conditions according to the needs of each patient.

We do not view the treatment environment as simply a place to stay.

A structured environment can help patients focus on recovery, reduce exposure to triggers, and develop a healthier daily routine during treatment.

Our Approach to Addiction Treatment

We believe effective addiction treatment should focus on the whole person, not only the substance being used.

Abstinence is an important step, but it is not the only goal.

Treatment should help the patient restore physical and psychological stability, understand the factors that contributed to continued substance use, develop healthier coping skills, and prepare for life after the treatment program.

That is why we do not use one standardized program for every patient.

We begin by understanding the individual case.

We then identify the patient’s medical, psychiatric, behavioral, family, and social needs before choosing the most appropriate treatment pathway.

Why Choose Mowafy Hospital for Addiction Treatment?

Choosing an addiction treatment facility should not be based only on room quality or program price.

Addiction treatment requires a system that can address the patient medically, psychologically, and behaviorally.

At Mowafy Hospital, our treatment model focuses on several key areas.

Individualized Treatment Planning

We do not apply the same program to every patient.

Two people using the same substance may have completely different clinical needs.

A patient who has been using a substance for several months is different from someone who has used it for many years.

A patient with a history of seizures or complicated withdrawal needs a different level of monitoring from a patient without those risks.

A person with a psychiatric disorder also needs a different plan from a patient without a coexisting mental health condition.

For that reason, treatment begins with assessment.

Integrated Medical and Psychological Care

Physical stability matters.

Psychological stability matters as well.

Withdrawal symptoms may be the most visible problem at the beginning, but once the patient becomes physically stable, underlying psychological and behavioral issues may become more apparent.

For this reason, we view medical stabilization and psychological rehabilitation as parts of one treatment journey.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Seeking help for addiction or mental health problems is a sensitive decision for many patients and families.

We understand this and treat patient information with a high level of confidentiality.

We also aim to provide a treatment environment where patients can focus on recovery without fear of social judgment.

Rehabilitation Beyond Detox

Some patients and families believe treatment is complete once the toxicology screen becomes negative or withdrawal symptoms resolve.

In reality, recovery is usually more complex.

Rehabilitation helps patients understand triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional and behavioral skills, and prepare for life outside the treatment setting.

Follow-Up After Treatment

One of the most important stages of recovery begins when the patient leaves the structured treatment environment.

For that reason, we place strong emphasis on continuing care and relapse prevention after the main program.

The Addiction Treatment Journey at Mowafy Hospital

Treatment begins at the assessment stage, not with the first medication or the first day of admission.

The journey may involve several major stages.

The exact sequence and duration depend on the patient’s condition.

Stage One: Medical Assessment

We begin by reviewing the patient’s medical history in detail.

This includes the type of substance being used, duration of use, approximate dose or quantity, frequency of use, and the time of the last dose.

We also assess whether the patient is using more than one substance.

Current medications, chronic illnesses, and previous medical complications are reviewed as well.

Conditions affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, nervous system, or other organs may influence withdrawal management and medication choices.

We also ask about any history of seizures, loss of consciousness, delirium, overdose, emergency admission, or previous severe withdrawal.

These details help the clinical team estimate risk and choose the appropriate level of care.

Laboratory Tests and Investigations

Depending on the patient’s condition, the medical assessment may include laboratory testing.

This can include a complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, toxicology screening, blood pressure and blood glucose measurement, and other investigations requested by the medical team.

Testing is not performed simply to follow a fixed checklist.

The purpose is to answer clinically relevant questions and improve treatment safety.

Stage Two: Psychiatric and Psychological Assessment

Mental health assessment is a core part of addiction treatment.

We do not stop at asking which substance the patient uses.

We also assess mood, sleep, anxiety, concentration, behavior, social functioning, and any unusual thoughts or psychiatric symptoms.

We review previous psychiatric diagnoses, medications, psychotherapy history, and previous mental health admissions where relevant.

In some cases, the psychiatric condition begins before the substance use.

In others, symptoms develop as a consequence of intoxication or withdrawal.

Some patients may experience both.

Distinguishing between these possibilities is important when planning treatment.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis refers to the presence of a substance use disorder together with another psychiatric condition.

A patient may have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, a personality disorder, or another mental health condition while also struggling with substance use.

In these cases, treating only one part of the problem may not be sufficient.

If addiction is treated while an important psychiatric condition remains unmanaged, relapse risk may remain high.

Similarly, treating mental health symptoms while ignoring substance use may limit improvement.

For that reason, we aim to assess and manage both conditions as part of one integrated plan where appropriate.

Stage Three: Detoxification and Withdrawal Management

After assessment, some patients may need a medically supervised withdrawal phase.

This stage is commonly referred to as detoxification.

It involves managing the period during which the body is adjusting to the absence of the substance it has become accustomed to.

The severity of withdrawal varies significantly between substances and between patients.

There is no single detox protocol that is appropriate for everyone.

What Are Withdrawal Symptoms?

Withdrawal symptoms vary according to the substance being used.

They may include anxiety, irritability, insomnia, sweating, mood changes, gastrointestinal symptoms, pain, strong cravings, tremors, and other physical or psychological symptoms.

Some withdrawal syndromes are uncomfortable but relatively straightforward to manage.

Others can be more complex and require closer medical supervision.

Using multiple substances, having chronic medical conditions, or having a history of complicated withdrawal may increase the level of risk.

The treating physician therefore decides the required level of observation and care based on the individual case.

Is Detox Painful?

The withdrawal experience is different for every patient.

The goal of medical treatment is to reduce symptom severity where possible, monitor the patient closely, and treat complications if they occur.

We avoid absolute claims such as “completely painless detox,” because individual responses vary.

The priority is safe and appropriate medical management.

Can Detox Be Done at Home?

Some patients may be suitable for outpatient withdrawal management after proper medical assessment.

Others require inpatient care.

Patients with higher medical risk, psychiatric instability, polysubstance use, an unsafe home environment, or a history of severe withdrawal may benefit from residential treatment and closer supervision.

The decision should be based on clinical safety, not convenience alone.

Is Detox Enough to Treat Addiction?

Usually, no.

Detoxification deals primarily with the physical stabilization phase.

It does not automatically address the psychological, behavioral, family, and social factors associated with substance use.

For many patients, detox is the beginning of treatment rather than the end.

Stage Four: Psychological and Behavioral Rehabilitation

Once the patient becomes medically stable, rehabilitation becomes a major part of the treatment journey.

This is the stage where treatment moves from the question:

“How do we stop the substance?”

to a deeper question:

“How can the patient build a life without depending on it?”

The patient begins to identify triggers.

Which people, places, emotions, situations, or patterns are associated with substance use?

How has the patient historically responded to stress?

Was the substance being used to escape anxiety, depression, trauma, or interpersonal problems?

What usually happens before a relapse?

What skills does the patient need in order to respond differently in the future?

This is the foundation of psychological and behavioral rehabilitation.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy provides a private setting where the patient can explore personal issues in more depth.

Sessions may address the history of substance use, family relationships, work stress, traumatic experiences, emotional difficulties, previous relapse episodes, and the patterns that usually occur before substance use.

Individual therapy also allows the patient and therapist to set realistic treatment goals and monitor progress throughout the program.

Group Therapy

Group therapy can help reduce the sense of isolation that often accompanies addiction.

Within a structured therapeutic setting, patients can learn from the experiences of others and develop communication, accountability, and social skills.

The group also provides a space for support and shared learning.

Sessions are conducted within a professional framework that respects patient confidentiality and therapeutic boundaries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, may be included in the treatment plan for suitable patients.

CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Patients learn to recognize thought patterns that may increase the likelihood of substance use and develop more effective responses.

Therapy may focus on managing cravings, coping with triggers, improving problem-solving skills, regulating emotions, and changing patterns associated with addictive behavior.

The goal is not to change the patient’s personality.

The goal is to provide practical tools for handling situations that were previously linked to substance use.

The 12-Step Program

The 12-Step model may be integrated into some rehabilitation programs.

It focuses on support, accountability, participation, and continued recovery.

For some patients, it provides a structured framework that can continue after residential treatment.

The 12-Step approach is not used as a substitute for medical or psychiatric care.

It is one tool that may be incorporated into a broader treatment program.

Matrix Model

The Matrix Model may also be used as part of certain rehabilitation programs.

It provides a structured behavioral and educational framework designed to help patients understand substance use patterns, identify triggers, reduce relapse risk, and build a more stable routine.

Its suitability depends on the patient’s clinical profile and treatment goals.

Family Therapy and Support

Addiction affects more than the patient.

Families may experience loss of trust, financial stress, conflict, repeated promises, failed treatment attempts, and emotional exhaustion.

For this reason, family education and support can be an important part of recovery.

Families may need help understanding the difference between supporting the patient and unintentionally enabling continued substance use.

They may also need guidance on healthy boundaries, relapse warning signs, and how to respond if the patient’s condition deteriorates.

Family involvement is adapted to the patient’s needs and confidentiality requirements.

Continuing Care After the Main Program

Recovery does not end when the patient leaves the hospital.

Returning to everyday life can expose the patient to the same pressures, relationships, environments, and emotional triggers that were associated with substance use.

For this reason, we emphasize aftercare and continuing support.

Follow-up may include psychological sessions, psychiatric review, support programs, family involvement, and a structured relapse prevention plan.

Relapse Prevention

Relapse does not always begin with the actual return to substance use.

Warning signs may appear earlier.

The patient may stop attending follow-up sessions.

Sleep may deteriorate.

Social isolation may increase.

The patient may reconnect with people associated with previous substance use.

Mental health symptoms may return.

Old patterns of thinking may become more prominent.

One of the goals of rehabilitation is to help patients identify these early warning signs and respond before the situation progresses.

Treatment for Patients Who Have Relapsed

We provide treatment programs for patients who have previously completed treatment and later returned to substance use.

In these situations, simply repeating the previous program in exactly the same way may not be enough.

We first assess why the relapse occurred.

Was the previous program too short?

Did the patient stop follow-up?

Did the patient return to the same environment?

Was there an untreated mental health condition?

Did family conflict or new stressors contribute?

Did the pattern of substance use change?

The answers help us modify the treatment plan and focus more specifically on the areas that contributed to relapse.

28-Day Addiction Treatment Program

Mowafy Hospital offers a 28-day program as one of the available treatment pathways for selected patients.

However, the existence of a 28-day program does not mean that 28 days is the ideal duration for every patient.

For some people, it may represent one phase of treatment.

Others may need a longer residential stay or extended follow-up after discharge.

Program duration should always be based on assessment and clinical progress rather than a fixed number of days.

How Long Does Addiction Treatment Take?

There is no single treatment duration that fits every patient.

The required length of care depends on several factors.

These include the type of substance, duration of use, dose, severity of dependence, use of multiple substances, physical health, mental health, previous treatment history, previous relapses, and response to therapy.

Some patients may require a relatively short period of medical stabilization followed by outpatient care.

Others may need a longer residential rehabilitation program.

The expected duration is therefore estimated after assessment and reviewed according to the patient’s progress.

Heroin and Opioid Addiction Treatment

Heroin and other opioid use disorders require careful medical assessment.

We review the duration of use, dosage, route of administration, timing of the last dose, and the use of any additional substances.

Previous withdrawal experiences are also important.

Some patients may need a medically supervised withdrawal phase before entering rehabilitation.

There are also evidence-based medication options for opioid use disorders that may be considered by the treating physician when clinically appropriate.

Treatment does not stop when withdrawal ends.

Psychological rehabilitation and ongoing support are important parts of long-term recovery.

Tramadol Addiction Treatment

Tramadol can lead to dependence when used inappropriately, at high doses, or for prolonged periods.

Before treatment, we review the dose, duration of use, other medications, and the patient’s neurological and psychiatric history.

A history of seizures or other complications is particularly important.

The medical team then determines the safest approach to withdrawal and rehabilitation.

Abruptly stopping the medication without medical assessment may not be appropriate for every patient.

Captagon Addiction Treatment

Long-term use of Captagon and other stimulants can affect sleep, mood, concentration, behavior, and emotional stability.

Some patients may develop severe anxiety, irritability, suspiciousness, agitation, or other psychiatric symptoms.

For that reason, psychiatric assessment is important when treating stimulant-related disorders.

After stabilization, treatment focuses on rehabilitation, trigger management, behavioral change, and relapse prevention.

Crystal Meth and Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment

Crystal meth and methamphetamine are powerful stimulants.

They can significantly affect sleep, appetite, mood, cognition, behavior, and mental health.

Some patients arrive for treatment with severe exhaustion, behavioral disturbance, or psychiatric symptoms that require direct clinical evaluation.

Treatment therefore begins with both medical and psychiatric assessment before moving into rehabilitation and relapse prevention.

Cocaine Addiction Treatment

Cocaine can be associated with important psychological and physical complications.

Assessment may include cardiovascular, neurological, and psychiatric evaluation in addition to a detailed review of the patient’s pattern of use.

Psychological and behavioral treatment plays an important role in managing cravings, identifying triggers, and reducing relapse risk.

Cannabis Addiction Treatment

Not all cannabis use is the same.

Some individuals use cannabis occasionally, while others develop a pattern that affects work, education, relationships, motivation, or mental health.

We assess the impact of use, not only the name of the substance.

Outpatient care may be suitable for some patients.

Others may need more intensive treatment if use is severe or associated with significant psychological problems.

Pregabalin and Lyrica Addiction Treatment

Misuse of pregabalin may lead to dependence in some individuals, particularly when taken in high doses or combined with other substances.

Treatment begins with reviewing the dose, duration of use, other medications, and the patient’s overall health.

If dependence is present, changes to the medication should be medically supervised rather than done abruptly.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Long-term alcohol use may lead to psychological and physical dependence.

Alcohol withdrawal can also be medically complex in some patients and may require close monitoring.

We assess drinking patterns, duration, quantity, previous withdrawal symptoms, seizures, and other medical complications.

Following stabilization, treatment may include psychological rehabilitation, family support, and relapse prevention planning.

Polysubstance Use Treatment

Some patients use more than one substance.

A patient may combine drugs with alcohol.

Or use several medications together.

Or alternate between different substances.

These situations require careful assessment because each substance may influence withdrawal symptoms, medical risks, and treatment choices.

It is important for patients to disclose all substances and medications being used, even if they do not consider one of them to be part of the main problem.

Psychiatry and Mental Health Services

In addition to addiction treatment, Mowafy Hospital provides psychiatric and mental health services.

Patients may seek help for mood problems, anxiety, sleep disorders, behavioral changes, interpersonal difficulties, or other psychological symptoms.

Mental health care begins with assessment and diagnosis.

Treatment may then include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of approaches depending on the clinical situation.

Depression Treatment

Depression is more than temporary sadness.

It may involve loss of interest, low energy, sleep disturbance, appetite changes, difficulty concentrating, reduced motivation, and persistent feelings of hopelessness.

Depression may occur independently or alongside substance use.

Assessment helps determine the relationship between the symptoms and the substance use and guides treatment planning.

Anxiety Disorder Treatment

Anxiety may present in different forms.

It may involve persistent worry, panic attacks, physical symptoms, social fear, or difficulty sleeping and concentrating.

Because anxiety disorders differ from one another, treatment begins with accurate assessment and diagnosis.

Borderline Personality Disorder

Some symptoms of borderline personality disorder may overlap with other psychiatric conditions.

Diagnosis therefore requires specialized assessment.

It should not be based on a single symptom such as mood changes or difficult relationships.

Accurate diagnosis allows the treatment team to choose the most appropriate psychological intervention.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is different from ordinary mood fluctuations.

Assessment focuses on the nature of mood episodes, their duration, sleep changes, energy, behavior, and impact on daily functioning.

Substance use must also be evaluated because some substances can produce symptoms that resemble mood disorders.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Social anxiety is more than shyness.

A person may experience intense fear in social situations to the extent that it interferes with work, education, relationships, or daily functioning.

Clinical assessment helps determine severity and the most appropriate treatment approach.

Online Psychiatric Consultations

Online psychiatric consultations may be available for appropriate cases.

They can be useful for initial assessment or follow-up, particularly for patients outside Cairo or outside Egypt.

However, online consultation is not suitable for emergencies.

Patients with severe withdrawal symptoms, loss of consciousness, seizures, severe agitation, or an immediate risk of harm to themselves or others require urgent in-person medical care.

Home-Based and Outpatient Programs

Not every patient requires full residential admission.

Some patients may be suitable for outpatient follow-up or structured home-based care after clinical assessment.

Suitability depends on the severity of dependence, medical and psychiatric stability, the patient’s level of motivation, family support, and the safety of the home environment.

If the clinical team believes residential treatment is safer or more effective, that recommendation should take priority.

Residential Addiction Treatment

Mowafy Hospital provides residential treatment for patients who need a higher level of structure and supervision.

Residential care can help patients temporarily step away from the environment associated with substance use.

It also allows daily routines, therapy sessions, monitoring, activities, and treatment schedules to be organized more consistently.

The goal is not simply to isolate the patient.

The goal is to provide a structured setting that supports recovery.

Rooms and Accommodation

Different accommodation options may be available depending on the program and availability.

We aim to provide a comfortable, clean, and private environment for patients during treatment.

However, accommodation quality should never replace the quality of medical and psychological care.

Comfort supports treatment.

Clinical care remains the priority.

Physical Activity and Daily Routine

Physical activity and a structured daily routine can support rehabilitation.

For this reason, the treatment environment may include spaces for movement, exercise, and recreational activities.

The purpose is not simply to fill the patient’s time.

Healthy sleep, movement, therapy, rest, social interaction, and routine can all contribute to rebuilding a more stable lifestyle.

Residential Treatment or Outpatient Care?

There is no single answer that applies to every patient.

Residential treatment may be more appropriate for patients who need closer supervision, cannot stop using substances in their usual environment, have a history of repeated relapse, or require intensive rehabilitation.

Outpatient treatment may be appropriate for stable patients who can maintain treatment engagement and live in a safe, supportive environment.

Assessment determines which level of care is more suitable.

Confidentiality During Treatment

Confidentiality is especially important in psychiatry and addiction treatment.

Patients need to feel able to discuss their condition without fear of judgment or stigma.

Communication with family members is also managed according to the patient’s treatment needs and privacy considerations.

Confidentiality does not mean excluding the family.

It means sharing information responsibly and professionally.

The Role of the Family During Residential Treatment

Families can play an important role in recovery.

However, the nature of family involvement differs from one patient to another.

At certain stages, a patient may need more space to focus on treatment.

At other stages, family education or participation may be helpful.

The treatment team determines the most appropriate approach according to the patient’s needs.

Who Is Dr. Ahmed Mowafy?

Dr. Ahmed Mowafy is the founder of Mowafy Hospital for Psychiatry and Addiction Treatment.

According to his published professional profile, he holds a medical degree from Mansoura University and postgraduate qualifications in psychiatry, neurology, and addiction treatment from Ain Shams University.

His professional interests include addiction treatment, psychiatry, behavioral therapy, and family counseling.

Location of Mowafy Hospital

Mowafy Hospital for Psychiatry and Addiction Treatment is located at:

9170, 8th District, beside Wataniya Gas Station, Ring Road, behind Modern University Building, El Hadaba El Wosta, Mokattam, Cairo, Egypt.

The location is accessible from several areas of Greater Cairo.

Patients traveling from other Egyptian governorates or from abroad can also coordinate arrival and admission through Macrocare.

Addiction Treatment for International Patients

Traveling abroad for addiction treatment requires more planning than a standard local appointment.

Before traveling, patients and families often need answers to several questions.

Is the patient medically fit to travel?

What is the expected treatment plan?

Will the patient need immediate admission?

How long may the stay last?

Is a companion required?

What is the expected cost?

Which medications and reports should the patient bring?

How will the family communicate with the treatment team?

What happens after the patient returns home?

For this reason, we recommend beginning coordination before booking travel.

How Macrocare Helps Coordinate Treatment at Mowafy Hospital

Macrocare helps patients and families organize access to medical care in Egypt.

If you are considering treatment at Mowafy Hospital, you can share the available information about the case with Macrocare.

The coordination team can then arrange communication to obtain preliminary information about the case, expected services, availability, treatment duration, and estimated cost.

Coordination may include:

Reviewing the available medical information.

Arranging a preliminary assessment.

Obtaining the proposed treatment pathway.

Clarifying the expected length of stay.

Obtaining an estimated cost.

Coordinating the admission date.

Supporting international patient logistics when required.

And helping maintain communication during the treatment journey.

What Information Is Needed Before Coordination?

The more complete the initial information, the easier it is to form a useful preliminary picture.

Important details may include:

The patient’s age.

The substance or substances being used.

Duration of use.

Approximate quantity or dose.

Frequency of use.

Date and time of the last use.

Previous treatment attempts.

Previous withdrawal symptoms.

Any history of seizures or loss of consciousness.

Chronic medical conditions.

Current medications.

Previous psychiatric diagnoses.

Recent medical reports or laboratory results.

And any important information about the patient’s current behavior or mental state.

This information helps with preliminary coordination, but it does not replace a direct clinical assessment.

Cost of Addiction Treatment at Mowafy Hospital

There is no single fixed cost for addiction treatment.

The price depends on the level of care required.

A short withdrawal management program may have a different cost from a several-week residential rehabilitation program.

The cost can also vary according to room category, investigations, medications, medical complexity, treatment duration, and additional services.

For that reason, pricing is best provided after reviewing the patient’s condition and proposed treatment plan.

What Is Included in the Treatment Cost?

Patients and families should always review the details of the quotation carefully.

Some programs may include accommodation, core medical care, nursing, and therapy sessions.

Other investigations, medications, or additional services may be charged separately depending on the program.

Through Macrocare, patients can request clarification of the expected treatment plan and estimated cost before making a travel or admission decision.

Can I Know the Cost Before Traveling?

In many cases, a preliminary estimate can be provided after reviewing the available information.

However, a direct medical assessment may identify additional needs that were not known before arrival.

Any pre-arrival quotation should therefore be understood as an initial estimate until the patient is assessed.

Can Treatment Be Booked Before Traveling to Egypt?

Yes.

The coordination process can begin before travel.

The patient’s information is reviewed first, followed by preliminary details about the treatment program, availability, expected duration, and estimated cost.

Travel and admission arrangements can then be planned.

This process is especially helpful for patients traveling from the Gulf, other Arab countries, or Africa.
