Families of our clients are invited to attend family therapy sessions. This helps family members to gain insight into the clients experiences, and for everyone to understand the nature of the problem. Family reintegration allows an opportunity for discussions regarding the support the family might require following treatment, as well as aftercare options in the client’s residential area. There is a joint family session every Sunday in coordination with Tough Love South Africa.

Clients attend weekly basic Taekwon-Do training at Clearview Clinic, which assists with physical recovery of the body. Clients are taught in each session to execute some complex movements, which increases physical strength, builds muscles, and results in the trust of the body’s ability to balance and rely on itself. Furthermore, clients gain confidence in themselves following the execution of fine and complex movements during sessions.

Spiritual growth is one of the cornerstone of sustained sobriety. These services are offered to clients when they are admitted.

Patients are prepared and motivated to join support groups after discharge. This is pre-arranged during admission. Every Saturday Morning, patients have opportunity to attend support group meeting in the clinic coordinated in conjunction with AA/NA groups.
