Luxury rehab and wellness centre in South Africa

Many might be surprised to learn just how common substance abuse is among the global population.

For instance, one study showed that around thirty-five million people worldwide suffer from drug use disorders while only one in seven people seek treatment.

You might also be shocked to learn how prevalent alcohol and drug addiction is in specific countries and communities.

For example, countries like South Africa are renowned for their charming beaches, breathtaking sceneries, and adventurous safaris. 

However, hidden beneath the majestic beauty of the country is a prevalent drug abuse crisis, with over fifteen per cent of South Africa’s population experiencing a drug problem.

Drug rehab centres in South Africa

Although many populations suffer from alcohol and drug abuse issues, research has indicated that countries such as South Africa struggle with alcohol and drug addiction at more advanced rates.

As if that’s not enough, South Africa has observed a growing increase in harms associated with opioid use specifically, leading to increased demand for inpatient treatment within mental health facilities such as drug or alcohol rehabilitation.

Alcohol and drug rehab centres offer various addiction services and treatments to those wanting to overcome addiction and specific mental health issues. 

Most rehab centres, including White River Manor, provide luxury wellness programs and therapeutic services to those seeking treatment for alcohol and drug use disorders. 

In our experience, integrated treatment approaches are the most effective and include various psychological therapies and modalities to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes for clients.

Why do some people become addicted and others 

don’t?

It can be challenging to know what causes some people to engage in alcohol or drug abuse while others don’t.

However, various studies have shown a strong correlation between alcohol and drug use disorders and poor mental health. For instance, a common theme for those with unresolved trauma and mental health challenges is the harmful coping mechanisms many adopt to manage complicated feelings and emotions.

Research has shown that within various South African communities, many people have reported turning to drugs or alcohol to cope with past issues or stressful life 

events. 

Substances often provide temporary relief for those experiencing mental distress, making people feel good while using. On the other hand, others abuse alcohol or drugs to avoid painful memories or numb difficult feelings and emotions.

South Africa drug addiction statistics

As mentioned, substance use disorders are a prevalent issue in South Africa, with statistics showing that drug abuse is twice the world norm within the country.

A United Nations World Drug Report study showed that South Africa had been named one of the world’s drug capitals.

In addition, alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in South Africa, with over 30 per cent of the population reporting an alcohol problem. Alcohol misuse has also been reported to be responsible for half of motor accidents within the country.

White River Manor provides personalised treatment to individuals with alcohol and drug addiction issues, helping them overcome their addiction and achieve lasting wellness and sobriety while avoiding the long-term effects of substance abuse.

Let’s look at some of these treatments in detail.

Outpatient treatment in South Africa

Whether you are receiving treatment for substance addiction or a mental health disorder, outpatient support is vital in helping you achieve and sustain lasting recovery and prevent future relapses.

For many, completing an addiction program is not the end of the journey but rather the beginning of a new chapter and a life that could only be imagined at the beginning.

We understand the road to recovery can be long and challenging.

However, for those in recovery, experiencing an improvement in symptoms and overall well-being makes the path to lasting sobriety and wellness all the more satisfying and worthwhile.

Our multidisciplinary team ensures that you receive a comprehensive individualised treatment program, including outpatient support and follow-up after completing an addiction treatment program at our centre.

For those who cannot commit to inpatient rehabilitation, we provide comprehensive outpatient support for individuals seeking recovery from various addictions and mental health disorders.

Medical detoxification

Medical detoxification serves as the initial step in most addiction recovery programs.

Detoxification involves eliminating toxic substances accumulated in the body over time. 

This treatment includes professional guidance, monitoring, and management of moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms, which are often painful and uncomfortable.

White River Manor provides a safe and supervised medical detoxification program to clients in South Africa.

Contact our friendly team to learn more about our medical detox program.

A holistic approach to mental health and addiction treatment

Our experienced, specialised team adopts a holistic approach to treatment, addressing addiction and mental health recovery from a comprehensive viewpoint. 

This involves various therapeutic approaches and modalities, including addressing the physical aspects of addiction and the psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

White River Manor provides various holistic treatments to clients in South Africa, including mindfulness therapy, group therapy, and family support, to help individuals achieve a sense of connection, balance, and control.

Aftercare and support programs 

After completing an addiction treatment program at our centre, we offer comprehensive aftercare and support services to clients in South Africa.

Given the high prevalence of relapse in addiction recovery, we armour each client with the necessary tools, support, and resources to prevent relapse, allowing you to live up to your true potential just as you were always meant to.

Our ongoing aftercare and support services are designed to help you stay on track with your recovery, providing access to specialised support and resources as you navigate life after addiction treatment.

Returning to your everyday routines after residential treatment can feel more than a little daunting. Likewise, leaving the comfort of a private rehab facility with people who understand and relate to your experiences can be a scary prospect for many.

You may feel as though you are not entirely prepared to face the outside world and worry that you may return to unhealthy coping mechanisms or are ill-equipped to manage any symptoms that may crop up.

These concerns are normal after addiction treatment and are one of the reasons that aftercare and support programs are so crucial, particularly during the early stages of recovery.

White River Manor provides comprehensive aftercare services to support individuals on their path to addiction recovery, helping them stay on track with their progress while reinforcing vital principles learned during treatment, including relapse prevention strategies and practising healthy coping skills.

Contact a White River Manor specialist to learn more about our aftercare and support program.

Executive burnout treatment in South Africa

Executive burnout is a prevalent issue in South Africa.

You may be surprised to learn that over forty per cent of all work-related illness in South Africa is due to stress, burnout, anxiety, major depression, and anxiety disorders.

These are harrowing statistics. 

However, various treatment options can help those experiencing executive burnout achieve a sense of control, balance, and wellness while learning healthier alternatives to coping with stress.

White River Manor provides executive burnout treatment to clients in South Africa, helping them reset, recharge and return home feeling revitalised and refreshed after the wellness break they need and deserve.

Pain recovery treatment in South Africa

We recognise and understand that chronic pain has roots in psychological trauma, causing limbic system impairment in some cases.

Our unique pain recovery program addresses these impairments through a trauma-informed therapeutic and behavioural approach.

During treatment, we use neuroplastic–based therapies to retrain your limbic system, helping to create new healthy neuronal pathways to replace previously damaged functions.

In addition, the mind-body-spirit connection and restorative wellness are all critical pillars in our approach. Connectedness and shared energy are pivotal to addiction recovery, including the healing powers of the outdoors. Thus we integrate wildlife and nature as part of your healing journey.
