President Mnangagwa has assembled a delegation led by Vice President Kembo Mohadi, comprising former President Robert Mugabe’s family, the family of the former First Lady — the Marufus — and Zanu-PF officials to facilitate the repatriation of the national hero’s body from Singapore where he died last Friday.

The President also wrote letters to the former statesman’s confidants, former Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda and Chinese President Xi Jingpin, officially notifying them of Cde Mugabe’s demise.

Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, who is also the Presidential spokesperson, Mr George Charamba, said on Friday morning President Mnangagwa and his Government assigned Vice President Mohadi to lead a delegation to Singapore to bring home the remains of the nation’s founding father.

“The President gave instructions to the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr Misheck Sibanda, to ensure that the delegation comprising both the Mugabe and Marufu families; party officials and Government representatives departs for Singapore today to support the former First Lady and that a chartered plane be secured to take them to and from Singapore.

The delegation leaves today.

Mr Charamba revealed that President Mnangagwa wrote letters to Cde Mugabe’s pals.

‘‘President Mnangagwa wrote to President of the Republic Singapore Her Excellency Halimah Yacob expressing his gratitude on the role they played in according the former President health care facilities during his time of illness.
“Secondly, (he wrote) to President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping. Mugabe and Xi had been all weather friends with China siding with us against the West who imposed sanctions on us,’’ said Mr Charamba.

“President wrote to the founding president of the Republic of Zambia Kenneth Kaunda informing him of the demise of Mugabe, as you are aware Kaunda was President Mugabe’s best friend. Kenneth Kaunda also worked with Mugabe in the Frontline States,’’ said Mr Charamba.

Drug Rehab Treatment Centers: How to Choose the Right Program

Choosing a drug rehab treatment center is an important decision for individuals and families facing substance use challenges. The right program can provide structure, support, therapy, and recovery planning. However, not every treatment center is the same, so it is important to understand what to compare.

rnrn

Drug rehab programs may include inpatient treatment, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, standard outpatient care, and aftercare support. The best level of care depends on the person’s substance use history, health needs, home environment, mental health concerns, and risk of relapse.

rnrn

Inpatient or residential treatment usually provides 24-hour support in a structured setting. This may be helpful for people who need a stable environment away from triggers. Outpatient treatment allows people to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions. This may work better for people with strong support systems and less severe needs.

rnrn

Medical detox may be needed for some substances. Detox should be supervised by qualified medical professionals because withdrawal can be uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous. Detox alone is usually not a complete treatment plan; it is often the first step before therapy and long-term recovery work.

rnrn

A quality treatment center should offer individualized care. Addiction recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Treatment may include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, relapse prevention planning, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, and mental health support.

rnrn

Licensing and accreditation matter. Families should ask whether the facility is licensed in its state and whether staff members are qualified. It is also important to ask about treatment methods, patient safety, staff-to-client ratio, and emergency procedures.

rnrn

Cost is another factor. Some rehab centers accept insurance, while others require private payment. Before admission, ask for a clear explanation of costs, insurance coverage, out-of-pocket expenses, and refund policies.

rnrn

Location can also matter. Some people benefit from being close to family. Others may need distance from unhealthy environments. The right decision depends on the person’s support system and recovery goals.

rnrn

Aftercare is one of the most important parts of treatment. Recovery does not end when a program is completed. A strong discharge plan may include outpatient therapy, support groups, sober living, relapse prevention strategies, and follow-up appointments.
