Cape Town’s Best Alcohol Rehab
Alcohol Addiction Recovery is Possible
Is it time to get your life back on track and break the cycle of alcohol use? Many people may begin to lose the conscious control of their alcohol consumption over time. Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that is deeply embedded in our “drinking culture” in South Africa. While in most cases alcohol can be a fun or social pastime, in more than 10% of the drinking population, alcohol use develops into a prolematic means to “escape” life issues.
People with alcohol control issues rarely seek treatment until the problem reaches chronic or life threatening stages. To watch a family member in the chaos, drink themselves to death is a deeply disturbing and wholly avoidable. Early treatment for alcohol use issues is preferred, no matter where you are in the cycle, you can be helped and don’t need to hit “rock bottom” or be labeled an “alcoholic” to simply have a private chat with a counsellor.

Do You Have a Drinking Problem?
Is alcohol impacting your day to day life? Trying hard to stop or limit your drinking?
Recovery from short or long term alcohol use disorders requires a systemic review of what is actually driving the problem. Once this view is established we can start working on a personalised recovery plan with the right tools and guidance required. Alcohol use disorders require care, attention, understanding and support.
Past methodologies such as “tough love” and “ideology” are uniformly broken and do not cater to dealing with the root cause that is driving the individuals’ behaviour.
Alcohol Addiction in Families
Helping a family member into alcohol recovery is an emotional and difficult undertaking; one that few families are prepared to handle on their own.
The nature of this substance is that the family frequently plays a direct or indirect role somewhere in the individuals addiction cycle.
Professional, objective counselling support is designed to disentangle the chaos and find workable solutions and common ground for everyone concerned.
It’s not about finding blame, it’s about moving forward.
Harm Reduction for Alcohol
A growing theme in alcohol recovery includes “recovery” by reducing the harm caused by excessive alcohol use. Alcohol harm reduction therapy is aimed at helping people who simply want to “slow down their drinking” to “better manage alcohol” or to “stop drinking excessively”.
For many people total abstinence from alcohol is not a desired outcome. Coaching toward “drinking normally” is seen as a better / more viable alternative and are prepared to get such guidance. Recovery Direct is one of the few rehab centres in South Africa that facilitates alcohol harm reduction using specilised therapy.

Programme Overview
We use evidence based techniques that focus on establishing the right foundations to build a long term recovery.
Through extensive research, we have constructed a range of holistic treatment directives for treating and overcoming individual alcohol use disorders.
Treatment Methodology
Rehabilitation requires a treatment that is tailored to each individual.
There is no one solution – however, there are frequent themes which manifest around dealing with unresolved trauma, dysfunctional coping or belief systems, chemical imbalances.
The Care Facility
Finding the right alcohol treatment rehab can make all the difference in the world. Recovery Direct’s centre is located in a serene and upmarket environment designed to allow patients the ability to beat alcohol issues with the support, care and guidance.
Assessment of Your Needs
Our clinician will take you through a one-hour session of broadly figuring out what is going on for you and what sort of treatment is best suited to your needs.
Your Treatment Plan
You will have two clinicians assigned to you, both from our multidisciplinary team. This allocation is based on a blend of what you communicated during the assessment.
Your Treatment With Us
As an outpatient, you would come in for individual sessions with your therapist as agreed. As a day patient, you will receive two individual sessions per day through your guided care continuum.
Updates to Your Plan
Your treatment plan is in constant review as we progress. This review is vital as it means that you are being treated by a group of 8 highly trained clinicians as your personal team.
Your Continued Care
As part of your continued care, all past patients may attend future group sessions at no cost. Some patients may need to book one-on-one sessions with us which will dissipate over time.
Each person going into recovery treatment needs a program designed around them as an individual. In most cases these individualised programmes are formulated by specialised talk therapy to resolve past trauma that perpetuates present behavious.
“The Mother City” is well known for her many “attractions” yet the city is also quietly one of the epicentres for trauma recovery world wide.
Many founding studies into the effects and resolution of trauma have stemmed from leading universities and institutions in Cape Town have since post WW2. As a result some of the most respected authorities on trauma also call Cape Town “home”. Their influence echos through the the present academic institutions and into many of the application frameworks for social work in South Africa.
While Cape Town’s institutions have led the charge on trauma and contributed substantially toward what we now know as modern trauma treatment. Cape Town has her own dark long history of chronic alcohol use disorders from within the community. Inadvertently this problem has also incubated some of the leading edge practices for dealing with alcohol addiction and alcohol recovery programmes world wide.
While the limelight of alcohol recovery is most often up-staged by the prominence of the Minnesota 12 step spiritual programme. Leading rehabs in world wide today adopt trauma based care models as the most effetive means of individualised treatment.
