Why undergo addiction treatment in South Africa?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Undergoing treatment far from home can help you break away from your current environment. Travelling to our addiction treatment clinic in South Africa means that you are temporarily far away from friends and family, but also from people or environmental factors that have a negative influence on you. You can leave behind the distractions and triggers you experience at home. The considerable physical distance can make it easier to let go of certain things on an emotional and energetic level. Addiction treatment abroad allows you to focus calmly on undertaking this highly regarded treatment for addiction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Insured Care<\/p>

In general, the costs of addiction treatment at our clinic in South Africa are covered (largely) by the basic health insurance package. In this case, you as the client pay only the statutory excess. You can find the amount on your health insurer's website.<\/p>

Please note that not every insurer reimburses the more specialised residential treatment programmes.<\/p>

Please note: not all insurers now cover residential admission in South Africa. Contact us to discuss the available alternatives.<\/p>

No health insurance policy covers flights, spending money or other extras. There is also a personal contribution in line with market rates; we will inform you of the amount during your intake consultation.<\/p>

Requirements for insured treatment pathways abroad: previous addiction treatment, possibly on an outpatient basis, and a reasonable command of the English language.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
