Aftercare

The Cedars South Coast Estate aids clients in preparing for discharge through relapse prevention planning and connecting them to local resources. Their in-depth planning helps clients prepare to continue their recovery journey by helping them to integrate into 12-Step support groups, find sponsorship, and connecting to the alumni support group. The counselors at Cedars South Coast Estate continue to provide support to their clients until they find a sponsor.

Insurance

The Cedars South Coast Estate works with South African Medical Aid to cover the cost of addiction and substance abuse treatment. If a client does not have South African insurance coverage, The Cedars can help explore other options. They believe that in the end, addiction always costs more than treatment.
