Twin Rivers Recovery introduces clients to an improved way of thinking that positively impacts behaviour and leads towards a constructive life. As an independent, family-owned treatment centre with full clinical autonomy, they offer each of their 12 clients a meaningful recovery experience with an individualised treatment plan. Since 2011, they have welcomed international clients facing substance use and process addictions, such as gambling and sex addiction, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions.

Focus on Client Individuality

Twin Rivers Recovery’s residential programme is shaped by client feedback daily, allowing therapeutic needs to be addressed as they arise. In addition to daily group sessions, each treatment plan includes two 1:1 sessions a week with the client’s focal counsellor, as well as sessions with the psychiatrist. Sessions integrate psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with wellness practices like yoga, meditation, drama workshops, and art therapy.

Recover in Comfort and Community

Twin Rivers Recovery provides a warm homely experience near Plettenberg Bay’s renowned beaches. The spacious house was recently updated and features attractively decorated rooms, including private and shared bedrooms. It is configured to accommodate the centre’s high value for community living, including a lounge, dining area, a braai, and gardens. Clients enjoy frequent visits to the gym and pool, as well as the presence of the rehab’s rescue animals, including dogs and parrots.

Return to Daily Life with Support

Twin Rivers Recovery supports lasting recovery by preparing clients for life after treatment, where continued care is essential to maintain progress and prevent return to use. Prior to completing the programme, they coordinate personalised aftercare plans and connect clients with a trusted network of therapists across Europe and the UK, ensuring continuity of care and a supported transition back into daily life.
