These sessions allow the individual to gain insight into the causes of their substance dependency and, more importantly, to implement the necessary changes in the underlying dynamics underpinning their addiction. Individual therapy, besides the personal attention that this provides, can also be very helpful in the case of a dual diagnosis: A coexisting depression, bipolar disorder, or other significant mental health condition that requires treatment in its own right, separate from the drug addiction or alcohol dependency.

Addiction is classified as "a" disease, however the disease of addiction can be brought on by many different reasons. While the consequences and effects of addiction are almost always the same, the reasons for turning to substance abuse in order to cope vary from case to case. Therefore there is no one particular treatment that is guaranteed to work on all addicts.

Our compassionate team of highly qualified, professional counsellors and therapists are here to offer each resident acustomised treatment program designed to address their specific needs. Group sessions are run on a daily basis focusing on interpersonal relationships and systemic processes.
