Our Vision & Philosophy
Welbedacht Therapeutic Centre opened its doors on the 30th of August 1990. For the past 25 years it has provided effective drug and alcohol addiction treatment for thousands of clients.
Our highly skilled professionals create a respectful, non-blaming environment where the client is seen as the expert in their own lives and thus recovery.
Narrative therapy and the reflective team approach constitute the philosophy of our treatment program. The hallmark of the narrative approach is the credo: “The person is never the problem, the problem is the problem”.
Our Facilities
Although therapy is the most important aspect of your stay, we recognize the importance of a comforting, nurturing environment.
There have large double occupancy bedrooms for the men and single bedrooms for women. The bathrooms are spacious and pristine.
Free time can be spent outside in beautiful garden areas, a large recreational room and relaxing sunroom. Patient can enjoy playing pool or watch DSTV in the communal television area.
Most of all we provide a family atmosphere where staff and patients together contribute to a warm and caring environment.
