With over two decades of experience, we have helped thousands of individuals and families rebuild their lives through our evidence-based, holistic approach. Whether you’re struggling with substance use, behavioural addictions, or co-occurring disorders, SCRC offers professional support in a compassionate, structured environment.
Our facility operates under full compliance with national health regulations, and our team includes registered addiction counsellors, medical professionals, and experienced support staff dedicated to ethical, high-quality care.

A Proven, Evolving Programme
At SCRC, our programme is not only tried and tested — it is continuously refined to meet the changing needs of our clients and the evolving understanding of addiction science. We blend internationally recognised treatment methods with South African context, ensuring that every client receives care that is both culturally relevant and clinically effective.
Our approach is based on individualised treatment planning, integrating psychological counselling, 12-step philosophy, peer support, and wellness therapies. Clients receive a full multidisciplinary programme that addresses mind, body, and spirit — the true foundation for long-term recovery.
