Why Montrose Place?

Montrose Place – South Africa's Premier Extended Care Retreat

Deciding on the right rehab clinic is one the most important decisions you or your loved one has to make on the road to recovery. It requires careful thought and consideration.

At Montrose Place you’ll be welcomed by an experienced and caring team of professionals who never give up on a client. It is important to us to get to know and understand each one of our clients as an individual so that we can design an appropriate  programme specific to their immediate and long-term needs.

We know from our experience with many patients that there is a way into recovery for everyone and our mission is to provide you with a solid foundation for a sustainable recovery –now and into the future.

Here are some more reasons why Montrose can change your life.

Nine reasons for choosing Montrose Place…

1. Extended care as a tool to self-sustainable recovery.

The road to recovery is a unique experience. For some, the path is short and straight – for others, the path is longer, with twists, turns and setbacks. The full extended care programme is 90 days long. This provides the greatest opportunity for full recovery. During different phases you will not only learn how to overcome your substance or process addiction, you will also be guided to regain full ownership of your life.

2. A holistic approach to available treatment options has proven to deliver lasting results.

At Montrose Place we offer a combined range of treatment programmes. As we know that you are unique and have individual needs we design a tailor-made treatment plan for every client. Our professional and highly experienced team of nurses, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists and support staff will be with you throughout your transition into a life of recovery.

3. Our addiction programmes are based on extensive experience.

At Montrose Place we are passionate about making a difference. We strive to provide only the highest treatment standards by regularly attending workshops and seminars in order to maintain our professional development and ensure that we stay abreast of the latest developments in the effective treatment of addictive disorders.. Some of our staff are in recovery themselves and their personal experiences and insights are of great benefit to our clients.

4. Our staff-to-client ratio is among the highest in the industry.

Individual attention is one of the key aspects to a successful recovery. For this reason, we only accept a limited number of patients at any time to allow our clients to receive optimal support from our dedicated team during their stay. Your counsellor will make the time to thoroughly get to know you and your unique situation and to support your taking the right steps for your recovery. Because of our individualized and professional approach, most of our patients come to us from the recommendations of previous patients or fellow professionals.

5. We treat the whole person, not only the addiction.

Addictions often reflect deeper problems that, when not addressed, may hinder the recovery process or lead to the emergence of other addictive behaviour once the initial addiction has been treated. At Montrose Place we not only help you to manage your addiction, we also treat the underlying issues that may have caused the addiction in the first place. We’ll help you to get to know the “real you” and provide you with the tools to prevent the emergence of other addictions and launch you on a lifelong voyage of sustained recovery.

6. Montrose Place provides a welcoming, nurturing and safe home away from home.

The mountainside villa offers breathtaking panoramas of the Table Mountain Range and the Indian Ocean, an ideal location to engage with in a therapeutic process. In addition to our modern facilities, luxury rooms and excellent cuisine all your needs will be taken care of so that you can focus on your recovery.

7. We have a strong focus on integrity and discretion.

Providing the best possible care for each individual is paramount, and we will only admit clients if we believe that our treatment programme is a perfect fit to your individual needs right now. Our professional staff will assist you without judgement and some of them understand from personal experience what you are going through. We maintain the highest levels of confidentiality and ensure discrete services by all our staff.

8. We help patients, their families and loved ones.

In most cases addiction affects both the client and their family. At Montrose Place we encourage active participation from families to improve their understanding of addictions and develop skills to cope with certain situations. This will help them to process their own feelings of anger, hopelessness and frustration and reintroduce healthy communication in a safe and contained environment.

9. We are there for you.

Your recovery journey in the outside world begins the moment you complete your treatment programme and leave Montrose Place. From this moment you’ll receive continuous support from our extensive after-care programme. We are equipped to provide you with sober living facilities and after-care packages at our own tertiary facility at Cape House in London or we can recommend other suitable facilities and programmes close to your home.

Our network of highly skilled professionals includes doctors, specialists, psychotherapists and recovery life coaches all over the world. We are also actively involved in building a community where ex-patients can communicate with and support each other. Being part of a recovering community is an integral part of the recovery process and will help you to achieve a fulfilling life.
