Institution
Portfolio
The institution is registered with the South African board of Healthcare Funders and The Department of Social Services and has created a unique continuum of addiction care treatment, the institution addictions extended care facility specialising in the treatment of drug addiction, alcoholism, anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating. Our approach is holistic and thus meets the needs of all subsidiary addictions including gambling and sex addiction. They are a residential facility focusing on clients who have already detoxified and are needing longer care to facilitate the transition from early recovery to long term changes. Their addiction treatment program is unique in that it caters for residents who are both employed and for those still needing direction. We provide the opportunity to practice new skills in a safe and nurturing environment. Their African clients come from as far as Johannesburg and Nairobi and it is the popular choice for addicts in the UK and Netherlands. The 20 bed facility simulates life as closely as possible so clients can practice healthy ways of dealing with their feelings and experiences. They have a proven track record maintaining an above average recovery rate.
