About Connection Mental Healthcare
Connection Mental Healthcare treats addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns in their charming, seaside residential center in the Western Cape of South Africa. They are dedicated to doing more than just treating the surface-level issues, and use an intake assessment with psychological and psychiatric components for added insight into client care needs. Each client’s treatment plan is highly individualized, and can range from a minimum 28-day stay to a recommended 42-day program.
Wide Range of Primary and Co-Occurring Conditions
Connection Mental Healthcare’s committed staff take the time to discover what the client’s needs are and get an understanding of any difficulties they may be facing, so the team can provide tailored guidance to suit their needs whether treating a substance addiction, process addiction, or co-occurring mental health concern. They treat substance addictions including alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, speed, ketamine, MDMA, designer and prescription drugs. They also treat process addictions such as gambling and gaming. They simultaneously address mental health concerns, such as burnout, depression, stress, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. Connection Mental Healthcare also aims to treat mood swings, relationship and work issues, impulse problems, adjustment issues, and low self-esteem.
Extensive Therapy Modalities
Connection Mental Healthcare’s professionals can assist clients from the first steps of recovery—finding medical detox accommodations—through effective post-treatment planning. During their residential program, they can provide medication management. Treatment incorporates 12-Step philosophy, and clients attend on-site AA or NA meetings. Individual, group, and family therapy sessions involve methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused and goal-oriented therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). Their staff provide life skills training, psychoeducation, relapse prevention planning, and stress management. They strive to heal the mind, body, and spirit, so they also use mindful meditation, relaxation therapy, and experiential and recreational therapies. For aftercare, Connection Mental Healthcare has an extensive network of safe houses and counseling for addiction and mental health care to refer clients to.
