Our dedicated expert counsellor teams focus on providing you with the professional help and care that you need to recover from addiction-related issues.

The proximity to some of the worlds best addiction rehabilitation psychologists, psychiatrists and trauma therapists enable Recovery Direct rehab centres in Johannesburg to tap into a vast wealth of knowledge beyond our inpatient and outpatient counselling support. Johannesburg is an ideal destination for that “holiday from addiction” seeing many inbound travellers to the Western Cape seeking treatment in a refuge that can adequately support their individual needs.
Recovery Direct’s registered counselling team comprises specialist multidisciplinary staff that are able to confront and resolve a range of problematic disorders including substance addictions, process and behavioural conditions and complex eating and other disorders. Therapy for patients is comprised of daily one on one treatment sessions, daily group sessions and a broad range of services that are supported through a medically supervised detox.
Recovery Direct’s addiction counselling centres in South Africa offers one of the worlds best non punitive treatment centre programmes.

Clients are entered into a dignified, supportive, secure and embracing family home environment where they are treated like adults and are able to rapidly adapt to the process of rebuilding their lives free from substances or destructive behaviours.

Recovery Direct’s non-12 Step addiction rehabilitation centres in Johannesburg use a client-centric trauma psychotherapeutic care model that has evolved to effectively treating executive burnout, anxiety, depression and chronic stress. This centre features high-quality non-punitive treatment programs that are custom designed for professionals just like you.

The extended number of daily one-on-one sessions with a professional registered counsellor is three times that of our competing rehab centres. Aside from the obvious value prospect, the intent of escalated back-to-back counselling sessions is to rapidly get to the cause of your issues, deal with them, and get you back to living your life again with the least disruption possible. A standard 28-day cycle in Recovery Direct is in other words equivalent to 3 to 6 months of treatment from other recovery centres. Do you have time for that?
While the thrust of the Recovery Direct private care model is based on resolving substance use disorders related to drugs, alcohol and prescription medication use a large component of our sessions are specifically geared to addresses anxiety, stress and depression related scenarios for business executives struggling under the pressures of modern living and high demand lifestyles.
Executive recovery care means absolute discretion is observed in the confidential consultations with therapists, counsellors and other recovery teams involved with your unique treatment program.
Recovery Direct’s Johannesburg addiction counsellors treat all types of common drug addictions including, amphetamines, alcohol, benzodiazepines, dagga, tik tik, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, mandrax, prescription medications, poly-substance process and behaviour addictions such as eating disorders, gambling and sexual addictions.
Group Therapy
Specialised group therapy led by professional counsellors enables patients to identify with the shared experiences of other individuals in similar scenarios as their own and learn from the responses provided in the safety of group discussions.
The online setting places patients at ease enabling them to fast track their acceptance of the therapeutic directives within the addictions treatment program. Recovery Direct rehab programme is designed to help individuals break the addiction and stay in recovery after residential treatment. Working with substance abuse, process addictions and eating disorders.
The idea of online rehabilitation and “first-time” admission places unnecessary stress on many new patients. Traditional inpatient rehab admissions are encumbered in their most crucial “first step” phase, making the process confusing, unsettling and trying – patients are resistant to the change. We understand this and would like to help you by providing a unique experience of rehabilitation whether you are suffering from mental illness, substance abuse disorder or any addiction.
Helping you find addiction support solutions that will ultimately work for you as an individual is paramount. Why waste time, money and effort on a drug or alcohol rehabilitation programme that is not exactly tailored to you?
