The programme begins with a medically managed detox. We are one of a handful of facilities in South Africa with a specialised detox unit. We believe that this is a critical stage of starting the recovery process.

Our treatment team addresses substance abuse, mental health and trauma issues at the same time. We help clients to understand how past and current experiences affect their choices and behaviour. Addiction is often linked to an underlying trauma, which is usually identified in the first few weeks of rehabilitation, and we offer a secondary care programme focussing on resolving this trauma. This often means an extended stay. Our driving force is for clients to lead happy and healthy lives after the programme and always feel part of our family.

Working together, therapists and clients develop a Continuous Care programme that connects them with support groups and other resources within and outside of Harmony. We have many resources for clients and their loved ones, and there is a large community of past clients who regularly meet and offer one another support.
