Services
Addiction Programmes
A 90-day, abstinence-based outpatient programme combining twice-weekly in-person group therapy at Sea Point Medical Centre (Mondays & Wednesdays), Saturday morning Zoom check-ins, and personalised one-on-one counselling with a counsellor. In a safe, compassionate setting, participants explore addiction’s powerlessness, learn evidence-based coping strategies, share experiences with peers and receive tailored feedback to build resilience and sustain long-term sobriety.
Interventions
An intervention is more than an ultimatum—it’s a carefully orchestrated gathering of family, friends and addiction specialists designed to break through denial and launch the journey to recovery. Life Matters partners with families to plan and facilitate these crucial meetings for the best possible outcome.
Assessments
At Life Matters, every client undergoes a comprehensive assessment—reviewing their substance-use history and screening for medical, psychiatric, or psychological co-morbidities. Referrals are made as needed, and once all evaluations are complete, a personalised treatment plan is crafted.
Drug/Alcohol Screening
Our drug and alcohol screening accurately detects recent use—resolving disputes in cases of false accusations or mandated testing by family, healthcare providers, employers, or courts—and provides regular monitoring of each client’s progress in maintaining sobriety.
The path to recovery is never identical—each story, each person, each struggle is uniquely theirs.
But the destination is always the same.
The Life Matters Programme offers comprehensive outpatient care—whether you’re stepping down from a primary inpatient treatment or beginning your recovery journey with us. Research shows that sustained, continuous support leads to better outcomes.
We specialise in alcohol, drug, and other addictive behaviours, because true recovery transcends mere abstinence: it’s about reclaiming mental clarity, rediscovering purpose, and building a future grounded in health, self-respect, and possibility. With our personalised approach, you’ll create a life that’s fully aligned with your values, goals, and most authentic self.
