Addiction recovery programme in Plettenberg Bay

July 29, 2011 - PRLog -- A calm, peaceful environment is conducive to addiction recovery. Long-term residential care in a professional facility produces the greatest recovery results and any approach to addiction recovery should encompass empathetic, respectful, nurturing and non-judgemental therapy.

Oasis Counselling Centre provides an effective and ethical addiction recovery programme in Plettenberg Bay, where professional addiction recovery counsellors strive to equip their clients with the coping skills they will require when integrating back into society.

12 Step addiction recovery

The 12 Step recovery programme has been demonstrated to be highly successful in the treatment of all forms of addiction, and provides an achievable routine for clients to follow. It enables addicts to change aspects of their life which they have the power to control, and to come to terms with what they cannot.

"Research shows that 12 Step programmes offer the best recovery results when combined with individual and group therapy, as well as a holistic approach to addiction treatment," says Anstice Wright of Oasis Counselling.

Counselling and support

Counselling forms the core of addiction treatment at Oasis. It provides ways to help addicts better cope with the demanding process of an addiction recovery programme.

At Oasis, it is very important for each client to become more self-aware, and to notice the recurring behavioural patterns that have had a negative impact on themselves and their loved ones.

Individuals learn how to cope with their feelings of fear and anger, as well as other feelings and emotions that they might have difficulty processing in order to express them healthily.

Much time is spent on the client’s feelings and emotions and through isolating and understanding each deep-seated issue, clients are better able to overcome their addiction.

However, while working through these difficult issues, addicts need to be reassured that they are not alone which is why the support of their counsellors and peers in an environment of mutual healing is a source of great encouragement.

A holistic approach

It is also often beneficial to enter the tranquillity and seclusion of a specialised treatment centre, away from the addict’s everyday environment.  Exercise and a carefully managed diet, and even complementary activities like yoga, can help clients find balance while working through the treatment process.

Oasis provides a space to focus intently on the addiction recovery process in Plettenberg Bay, where the tranquil, caring environment brings inspiration to work through the programme. It is a chance to develop the skills and self-assurance necessary to return to society as a more productive and healthy member.

“The word Oasis itself is an acronym for Overcome Addiction Step Into Society, and that is exactly what our addiction recovery programme in Plettenberg Bay achieves," explains Wright.

Oasis Counselling Centre is set amidst the tranquil beauty of the Garden Route where nature plays a significant role in the healing process for this professional addiction recovery programme in Plettenberg Bay.
