“Rehab, redefined.”

“If you can quit for a day, you can quit for a lifetime.” – Benjamin Alire Saenz

The words addict, rehabilitation centre or rehab typically evoke negative images and stigmas. Although this is understandable, these stigmas can be detrimental to healing when a recovering addict struggles to look past them.

We challenge our clients and their families to look beyond the labels that society readily pins on people and places. This is why we choose to refer to our facility as a wellness centre, rather than a drug rehabilitation centre. We believe that it is better to focus on working towards wellness, rather than remaining stuck in an addiction mindset.

When someone is labelled an addict (by others or themselves) often enough, they will eventually find it hard to see themselves as anything other than an addict.

It is possible to recover from addiction and to achieve a state of wellness. By getting to know each of our clients, we help them to see themselves as a person of value. We can help them acknowledge the disease, take an active role in healing and start to see that their disease does not define them. Alcohol and drug addictions are treatable and they can get their life back.

It begins with a paradigm shift. In our treatments, we make use of positive psychology. We work with our clients to identify those facets of their lives that are worth celebrating. Perhaps it is a talent or skill they have. They may have a childhood dream of doing something meaningful in the world. It could even be the support of a loving family member. No matter how insignificant it may seem, we believe that every positive aspect of our client’s life can be nurtured to advance healing and wholeness.

The newly-built Ruach Wellness Centre provides a comfortable, home-away-from-home haven for those who are battling alcohol or drug addiction.

Our brand-new facilities include:

• Medical detox room
• Treatment rooms
• Communal dining room
• Recreational & interactive area
• Games room (table tennis, billiards and darts)
• Four men’s dormitories
• Separate ladies’ dormitory (coming soon)
• Outdoor relaxation area with garden, swimming pool & volleyball court

Addiction looks different for everyone, so therefore we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. We tailor our treatment programmes to meet each client’s unique needs.

Addiction is a complex condition that is largely affected by each individual’s biology and psychology. Some personality types are more predisposed to reaching for anxiety medication, and others are genetically predisposed to be high-risk for alcohol addiction.

Our purpose is to not only treat the addiction but to address the underlying issues as well. We provide our clients with the tools and support they need to achieve lasting healing from the disease of addiction.
