Outpatient rehab for addiction | recovery that fits your life

With outpatient rehab for addiction you stay living at home between sessions. This way you can carry on with your daily routine and put what you learn straight into practice.

For a milder addiction, we may recommend outpatient treatment. This lets you keep living at home and stay in work, so you can carry on with your daily life as much as possible while you recover. If it turns out that you are coping with any mental health challenges that may trigger or even worsen your addiction, we have the knowledge and experience to treat this dual diagnosis effectively. This could involve ADHD, trauma, burnout or bipolar disorder. If a more intensive approach is needed, Connection Mental Healthcare also offers inpatient treatment at our fully licensed private rehabilitation centre in Cape Town.

Your outpatient programme takes place at our calm, private clinic in Cape Town. You will be matched with a personal therapist who fits your character and your needs. Your programme is built around individual sessions and group therapy, with sessions taking place at least once a week, or intensive treatment with a maximum of five sessions a week.

We always make sure the length and content of your treatment fit your needs. It is worth knowing that outpatient treatment is not the right choice for everyone. To be suitable, you generally need a stable home situation and a certain degree of self-reliance. Since your sessions take place at our centre in Cape Town, it helps if you live or stay within travelling distance. During your addiction assessment, we will help you work out whether an outpatient or inpatient programme suits you best.

Our outpatient treatment draws only on methods with a solid evidence base, and we also introduce you to the 12-step model. The aim is to give you practical tools you can use in everyday life while you stay in your familiar surroundings. You can read more about what treatment involves on our costs and fees page.

We are more than happy to answer your questions and tell you more about how we work. Taking the first step and admitting that you can no longer do this on your own can feel daunting. It takes real strength and courage to talk about your addiction and reach out, and we are here to help the moment you feel ready. Many of the people we help have full lives, jobs and families, and outpatient treatment lets them work on recovery without stepping away from all of that.

Whatever you are facing, your outpatient treatment is built around it. We provide outpatient care for:

• alcohol addiction
• cocaine addiction
• marijuana addiction
• drug addiction
• prescription drugs
