Substance Abuse Clinics

Claro Addiction Treatment Centre is a specialised addiction treatment facility at N1 City, Cape Town. It operates from the same building as Claro Clinic which is a mental health treatment facility. This facilitates the treatment of dual diagnoses.

Location: Syfred Douglas Street, N1 City, Cape Town, 7463, South Africa. The clinic is situated near an abundance of hotels and restaurants for families and other visitors as well as a lovely shopping centre.

The addiction treatment programme focuses intensively on the special needs of our patients according to their symptoms, and level of functioning. This programme is not only a three week inpatient detoxification and treatment facility, it also includes a 18 months aftercare programme to assist and support the patient on his/her road to recovery.

The programme integrates individual assessments, individual consultations, group sessions, a family programme as well as medication therapy.

Individual assessments take place in order to understand the functioning of each patient, which would dictate the medication therapy and support needed.

Regular psycho-therapeutic sessions take place during the entire three week admission period. Psychiatrist consultations will be arranged, should it be required for dual diagnosis. Psychosocial consultations take place to address all family and work related concerns, as well as to conduct the reintegration session prior to discharge.

Daily group therapy sessions take place where the patients learn to adopt a new life-style to maintain sobriety.
