High Staff-to-Client Ratio for Focused Support
A small, maximum 8 client group, client group means more direct access to the treatment team, allowing for stronger communication, quicker responses to concerns, and more personalised care. This level of attention helps improve treatment outcomes and ensures each client receives the focused support necessary for long-term recovery and setting a new benchmark for personalised rehabilitation in South Africa.
Balanced Individualised Care with Community Support
Evidence-based treatment at Ocean Bay Recovery blends the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Model, the 12-Step Minnesota Model, CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy. Each personalised plan integrates medical, psychological, and social factors to address both addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. One-on-one therapy at our leading centre for rehabilitation in South Africa offers focused, individual attention, while the structured 12-Step framework fosters a supportive peer community that reinforces accountability, self-reflection, and sustainable recovery.
Healing with Ocean, Nature and Adventure Therapy
Healing extends beyond the therapy room – it also happens on the shoreline under open skies. Daily walks to the beach, just 100m away, and longer excursions into nature at least twice a week are part of our therapeutic approach. Clients can experience the restorative power of the shoreline, hiking trails, rivers, and nature reserves along the Indian Ocean coastline of Greater St Francis Bay. These activities encourage reconnection with the part of themselves that knew how to have fun before addiction took hold.
Holistic Healing Through Movement, Mindfulness & Meditation
True healing happens when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. Weekly mindfulness and meditation sessions provide practical tools to manage emotions, reduce anxiety, and build self-awareness. Movement therapies, including light bio-kineticist-led exercise, Pilates, and Yoga, help restore vitality, flexibility, and confidence, while fostering a renewed connection to the body – hallmarks of effective, holistic rehabilitation in South Africa.
A Private, Distraction-Free Environment
Our intimate setting enhances privacy, allowing clients to feel more comfortable sharing sensitive information with their treatment team. With only 8 clients at a time, confidentiality is better protected, and the controlled environment minimises distractions, fostering deeper focus on recovery.
Creating a Stronger Family Support System
Through family communication and reintegration services, we help repair relationships, strengthen family dynamics, and build a support system essential for long-term recovery. Loved ones receive education and emotional support while learning how to navigate their own challenges and supporting their loved one’s journey to recovery.
Confidently Transition Back to Daily Life
Our aftercare programme provides essential support as clients transition back into daily life. Through individual counselling, education, and peer support, clients develop relapse-prevention strategies while building a strong recovery community, ensuring they have the tools and support network necessary for long-term, sustainable rehabilitation in South Africa.
