THE REDBOURNE ADDICTION RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION CENTRE LAUNCHES IN PLETTENBERG BAY, SOUTH AFRICA

• The new centre offers ground-breaking addiction and rehabilitation treatment
• Prioritising in-patient care as well as long-term post- recovery support
• First centre licensed to use the Petrichor Recovery Programme

The Redbourne Addiction Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre opens its doors to referred patients from 1 August. Located in tranquil surroundings in the coastal town of Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, The Redbourne is changing the way that addiction and rehabilitation is managed, for the benefit of patients suffering substance and behavioural addictions. The centre offers the full range of medical and therapeutic treatments, ensuring that recovery continues long after inpatient treatment has come to an end.

The Redbourne is the first centre in the country to be licensed to use the ground-breaking Petrichor Recovery Programme, which offers four years of continued and integrated treatment from medial and therapeutic professionals, even after patients return to their home environment.

Dr Jade Furness, The Redbourne’s Chief Executive Officer, explains why this is important: “In our experience, we found that support typically ends when the patient leaves the inpatient centre. We believe that more can be done to bolster a patient’s chances of sustainable recovery by creating a structure of care for, and continuously following up and monitoring the progess of a patient after they have left.

“A lack of support for patients post the inpatient phase has resulted in a deficit of reliable information regarding relapse rates. Without knowing whether a patient has relapsed, it is not possible to ensure their recovery can be sustained in the long term. While inpatient treatment is a starting point, the patient’s real journey to recovery starts when they are back home in their normal environment. This is often when they need help the most.”

The Redbourne has capacity for 24 patients, whose needs are fully catered for around the clock at the centre.

Admission is strictly by referral, explains Dr Furness: “We require patients to be referred by a medical professional such as a psychiatrist, doctor or psychologist. Having a medically motivated referral enables patients to claim for treatment from their medical aid more easily. That referral also influences the individual patient’s path to recovery in a more directed way.”

The Redbourne primarily treats addictions to substances such as alcohol, drugs and opioids.

Originally a tourism lodge, The Redbourne’s accommodation has been refurbished to prioritise patient care and recovery in tranquil and attractive surroundings.

Luxury rehab centers started popping up in the 1980's and yes, for a long time they were the domain of the rich and famous. If you were fabulously wealthy or enjoyed celebrity status, you could slip away discretely and spend time recuperating at a high-heel rehab center. If you weren’t, you more than likely found yourself subjected to a punishing regime at a facility that favored a boot camp approach to treating addiction.

The no-frills approach where inpatients find themselves making their own beds, peeling potatoes and washing dishes has its roots in the 12-step program that advocates the need to humble an addict; to cultivate resilience and gratitude in a physically-demanding or uncomfortable environment to get them to acknowledge their addiction and make them take responsibility for it.

The hard-core boot camp approach works for some but certainly not for the majority, if you take a look at the historically low success rates of complete recovery. It perpetuates the notion that addiction is a ‘punishable’ offence and fuels the stigma associated with seeking treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. It certainly does nothing for the men and women who already battle with low self-esteem and chronic self-depreciation. 

Why luxury rehab is growing in popularity

Luxury rehab emerged to meet the demand for more privacy and comfort but today the resort-like addiction treatment centers have a far more serious role to play. This is because there has been a striking shift from ‘punishment’ to compassion when it comes to understanding and treating addiction. And don’t be mislead into thinking compassion is a weaker approach.The true meaning of compassion means “to suffer together”. It’s defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another’s suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. It’s not the same as empathy or altruism, though the concepts are related.If you pick out the dominant emotion “feel motivated to relieve that suffering”, you’ll understand why compassion is such an integral part of the philosophy that underpins the new-age approach to treating any addiction. Compassionate treatment means treating the whole person; mind, body and soul.

Luxury rehab: is it worth the money you pay?

Kit Harington who played Jon Snow in the legendary Game of Thrones television series recently booked himself into a luxury rehab for stress and alcohol use, reportedly spending $120 000 for the month. Both Britney Spears and Ben Affleck have paid more than one visit to the posh Promises Treatment Center at a cost of about $36 000 for a 30-day stay; and David Hasselhoff and Stephen Baldwin both paid $40 000 for four weeks at the Passages Rehab Facility.

These are some of the figures you’ll hear bandied about when the press pick up on a celebrity discreetly slipping off to the California rehab highway. And when you look at those price tags, it’s no wonder luxury rehab centers like White River Manor in South Africa are growing in popularity as an international destination for addiction treatment.

A 30-day all-inclusive stay at White River Manor costs you in the region of USD$7 000 (about R100 000), which is roughly $250 per day (about R3 650 pd). That’s the basic price and increases if you book into the Presidential Suite or one of their private executive villas. It excludes your return flight to South Africa and the medical detox if needed.

If these figures leave you feeling somewhat gob smacked, you may wonder if luxury rehab is worth the price you pay.

Firstly, luxury is relative. Each stand-alone executive suite at White River Manor is stylishly decorated and the grand manor house has been elegantly refurbished. The 100-year old garden is gorgeous and serene and healthy meals are prepared by an executive chef. However, all this is the norm for the type of client that arrives at White River Manor; who’s opted for an addiction treatment center that promises exclusivity and anonymity.

The real cost lies in the rehabilitation service offering. White River Manor approaches addiction treatment or executive burnout with a multi-disciplinary team that ranges from a psychiatrist, psychologist and counselors to a trained nursing sister, executive chef, cognitive behavior therapist, music and art therapist, physiotherapist and professional life coach.

Everyone is specialized in the field of addiction treatment and has years of experience in treating addiction, executive burnout and mental disorders that co-occur with addiction.

White River Manor advocates an open-trust approach to addiction therapy so clients have access to free Wi-Fi and a fully-equipped business center which allows them to continue with their daily lives relatively uninterrupted. There’s also a deli onsite that provides clients with delicious coffee and healthy snacks between the main meals of the day.

A luxury vehicle is available to take clients to Akeso Hospital for their medical detox, for daily excursions and round-trip transfers from Johannesburg and the local KMIA airport. White River Manor is fenced and fully secure, with 24-hour security and guards patrolling the property.

A laundry service and turn-down service are standard and a beautician and masseuse visit White River Manor when needed. There’s a sparkling pool for refreshing swims and daily sports and recreational activities in the garden. 

More than luxury and exclusivity

 If you take luxury and exclusivity as a given at White River Manor, it’s location is what sets it apart and offers clients more for their money. Located in the lush Lowveld (Mpumalanga Province in northern South Africa), White River is the gateway to the iconic Kruger National Park and the premier safari destinations in Greater Kruger. It’s ideally located to the major tourist attractions in the region, including the famous Panorama Route, Kaapsehoop and Hazyview.

When White River Manor’s clients are ready to join in on the daily excursions, they have the choice of a full-day safari tour in the Kruger Park, elephant interaction at Elephant Whispers, helicopter rides over Blyde River Canyon, adventure sports in Hazyview, horse riding or Sedgeway rides in Kaapsehoop, golf at the legendary Leopard Creek golf course, mountain biking and wonderful day hikes in the stunning Lowveld surrounds.

The best that the Lowveld has to offer is all a reasonable drive away in a luxury air-conditioned car. And if you’d like to venture further as an extension to your stay; White River Manor is a 2-3 hour drive from the popular coastal resorts in Mozambique and the Big 5 premier game reserves in Swaziland.

So, what do you get for the price you pay for 30-days at White River Manor in South Africa?

A multi-disciplinary team dedicated to your full recovery; healthy eating, exercise and daily excursions to restore mind, body and soul; compassionate and caring staff committed to making your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible; an opportunity to explore one of the most scenic regions of  southern Africa; and luxury accommodation and facilities that take the ‘punishment’ out of rehabilitation and boosts self-esteem.It’s hard to put a price tag on your recovery but it does sound like luxury rehab at a destination like White River Manor is worth the cost.

Recovery Direct is one of the most exclusive psychological and addiction treatment centres in South Africa. Nestling in a quiet Constantia road, flanked by rolling vineyards, ancient oaks and the breath-taking grandeur of the Constantiaberg mountains, the centre offers a perfect and tranquil environment for recovery. Stunning multi-functional suites, each decked out in Victorian colonial style with en-suite bathrooms, balconies and panoramic views, offer outstanding accommodation for guests who want an upmarket and comfortable rehab experience.

Recovery Direct was founded by Vaughan Pankhurst, who recognised the need for a novel approach to addiction treatment after he had successfully completed his own nine-year own journey into long-term recovery. Vaughan realised early on that trauma lies at the heart of addiction, and his centre is unique in that it consciously addresses the underlying traumatic issues on which addiction feeds. As such, it challenges the stigmas surrounding addiction and substance use by focusing its treatment approach around the belief that the effects of trauma lead people to become addicts.

This approach contrasts with other rehabilitation centres in that Recovery Direct does not follow a 12-step programme in its treatment methodology. This non-punitive approach is intentional – it enables the centre and its healthcare workers to focus on resolving clients ‘problems by addressing the trauma and pain that drove them to addiction. It also carefully dismantles the destructive forces driving their addictions. Patients are required to see their counsellors every day, as opposed to once or twice a week. This regularity fast-tracks the healing process and enables recovery goals to be achieved sooner.

The centre is eco-friendly and environmentally conscious – electricity is produced by energy-efficient solar panels, and water is provided by a natural spring.

The exclusive rehab treats a wide spectrum of conditions, from alcoholism, drug addiction, anxiety and mood disorders to depression, gambling and food related addictions. It also helps clients who have eating disorders, issues related to sexual addiction, codependency, narcissistic abuse, trauma and PTSD. Its programs also cover panic disorder, pain management, obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobias, grief, personality disorders, relationship issues, stress and burnout.

The centre also directs its efforts at ensuring sustainable recovery and life outside of rehab, which is why the aftercare and the outpatient programme are particularly strong.
