Therapy
Our therapeutic teams consist of addiction counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Each client’s needs are assessed and individual sessions are arranged accordingly. The number of one on one therapy sessions provided at Recovery Direct is up to 10x what most other treatment centres provide in South Africa and around the world. This intense focus on personal treatment ensures that we are at all times adjusting the best possible treatment to each individual.
Group Participation
Our groups follow an informational/participatory style. Topics are practical and include items such as what is a craving, why do we get them and how to manage the process, financial recovery, benefits of heart mapping, meditation and mindfulness. Lectures are facilitated by experts in the field and participation by members is encouraged.
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.

Who is Recovery Direct?
Recovery Direct is a rehab treatment programme based in Johannesburg. We offer a non-punitive recovery programme that focuses on the causes of drug addictions, trauma resolution, codependency, depression, anxiety and burnout and other destructive behavioural disorders.
Most addiction and rehabilitation centres in South Africa focus on treating addiction and alcoholism symptomatically. This approach sees low success rates and constant relapses which only reinforce the stigma of those suffering from addiction, making it even harder for an addict to ask for help.
There is a common approach that addiction is a brain disease and by treating the symptoms, the patient should return to health.
Treating the symptoms of addiction may well involve a detoxification process and further in-patient/residential treatment at a rehab or recovery treatment facility, however, for long-term recovery, it is vital to address the root cause of why a person chooses to abuse substances. Combine this with a robust outpatient programme which provides a continuum of care, Recovery Direct’s programme has a much higher success rate than any industry benchmark for actual addiction rehabilitation.
