Why Us?

We Embrace The Family In Our Process

At Tharagay, we strongly believe that the family is a vital part of the rehab treatment process. We encourage all family members and loved ones to participate in the rehabilitation programme by attending meetings, conjoint sessions, and by exploring their own experiences with the person suffering from addiction. The eventual rehab treatment outcome is often determined by the contribution of the family, who are often most affected by the problem.

Why Choose Tharagay?
Our Peace-Of-Mind Rehab Strengths

Tharagay is the top rehab in Cape Town, helping patients to navigate the journey to a successful and sustainable recovery. We have more than two decades of experience in rehab treatment and specialise in the treatment of challenging patients. Our individualised treatment is grounded in a sound medical understanding of the problem.

25 years of experience

Tharagay is one of the longest-standing rehabs in Cape Town, founded by a medical professional with years of knowledge invested in our treatments.

Registered and certified

We are registered with the Department of Social Development and Board of Healthcare Funders ensuring accountable and quality care.

Experienced and medically trained staff

Our staff has professional training and exceptional experience when dealing with difficult cases.

Individualised treatment

Our treatments are tailored for the individual patient, treating more than just the addiction, and we always take the bigger picture into account.

Treatment grounded in sound medical knowledge

The foundation of our treatment is sourced from a refined Minnesota Model using a sound medical understanding as our therapeutic foundation.

Psychological problems always addressed

Our rehab programme will always include attention to your psychological problems, such as depression and trauma, as part of the process.

Difficult cases are our speciality

Our years of experience position us as the best rehab in Cape Town to manage especially difficult cases with multiple relapses or failed previous rehab admissions.

Unique 3 Phase Facilities

Our model works in three phases: a primary addiction treatment centre, a halfway house, and a sober-living residence providing for each step in your recovery journey.

Easy Medical Aid Payment

One of the major concerns for those entering rehab programmes is the cost. At Tharagay, we work with most major medical aids to cover the cost of addiction and substance abuse treatment. In certain instances, a co-payment might be required. Our patients have access to the best possible care without having the extra stress of fees and payments. We believe that in the end, addiction always costs more than treatment.

The Road To Recovery

Our Treatment Services

We offer Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary treatment rehab programmes, all with differing lengths of time based on the needs of our patients. We provide addiction treatment, a halfway house and a sober house, as well as an inclusive aftercare follow up programme. This 90 day combination often produces the most astounding rehab results for our patients.

Primary Phase

Primary rehabilitation is for patients who admit that they have an addiction problem and want help. It is an intensive 28 day in-patient programme at our renowned rehab in Cape Town.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Secondary Phase

The secondary phase or halfway house helps our clients address underlying psychological or social issues in greater depth to reduce the risk of relapse.

CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEY

Tertiary Phase

Tertiary treatment or sober living focuses on the process of reintegration from the rehab environment, back into mainstream society, as well as scaffolding for your lifestyle structure.

MAINTAIN YOUR RECOVERY

Individual Counselling

We have a team of counsellors available in our rehabs with specialised areas of expertise, if you feel individual counselling is the way to go.

SPEAK TO OUR EXPERTS

Assessment & Interventions

We can help you make a decision about any problematic substance use behaviour and whether treatment is necessary. We also provide an intervention service for very resistant patients.

LET US ASSESS YOUR NEEDS

Family Programme

At our rehab centres, we offer a family programme in partnership with the renowned Prospect Hill Recovery Practice, as families are often deeply traumatised by the addiction.

RECLAIM YOUR FAMILY

Online Outpatient Programme

In our modern world, not everyone is able to get time off to get in-patient treatment, therefore we have developed an Online Out-patient programme that will assist you in addressing your addiction whilst still engaging in work and your life.

TRY ONLINE TREATMENT

Let Us Help You Decide

Not everyone who uses drugs is an addict. By the same token, most people who drink alcohol are not alcoholic. It can be difficult to decide. Let us help you. Fill out the free online assessment, submit and we will advise whether you have a substance use problem that requires treatment.
