Detoxing is an essential first step in recovering from drug or alcohol abuse. It is the process of ridding your body of harmful substances before starting a treatment plan to address the addiction.

Sammy Novick2024-04-04Eternally grateful to Journey for helping change and transform my life. I was able to battle and overcome my darkest episode mentally thanks to every member of Journey's team. I now live a much more stable and enjoyable life - I feel I have now found 'pure happiness' and I could not have done this without the owners of Journey - special thanks to Yonit & Clive for helping me - will always be appreciative - and special thanks for convincing me to stay much longer than I planned! Since leaving, I have listened to a lot of their advice and it has helped me a tremendous amount to help me lead a stable and enjoyable life long term - words can not explain how much this place changed but also *saved* me. This place is remarkable and works *absolute miracles* - I would recommend to anyone who is struggling with their well being. Thanks to Journey I have also re-found my spirituality which helps me on a very frequent daily basis.Irene Erasmus2024-01-07Greatful to Journey and Owners as my Choice of recovery Centre.

Highly recommendedSue Ann2023-02-06Journey has saved my son's life and would recommend them to anyone who needs help. The owners, Yonit and Clive are truly amazing people, as well as the staff. They took in my son as their own, and have given him back the will to live. My son has never been happier and stronger. For anyone struggling or who has a family member that struggles, look no further. Journey is truly unique, and sets people up for success even after they leave. They go way beyond helping with addiction, if it wasn't for Journey I would have lost a son. Look no further, they are the best!Jason Lobel2023-02-06I disagree completely With Jachin Swanepoels report. Journey is an outstanding facility. If a resident has a bad experience it is entirely at his own instance. All the staff act in the most professional manner.
The drug detox process at Journey addresses the complex nature of chemical dependency. When someone uses a particular drug for an extended period, it changes the way the body functions. Detoxing is complicated, and physical withdrawal can be very challenging, even dangerous. Our services assist patients through this process and prepare them mentally for the next steps in getting clean.
Our comprehensive drug detox programme caters to a wide array of substance dependencies. This includes heroin, crystal meth, cocaine, and prescription medications, among others. By offering a broad spectrum of care, we ensure that each patient receives the specific support they need to detox safely. Our programme is built on an understanding of the unique challenges of different substances. By offering tailored detox plans, we can address addiction in a highly specific way, catering treatment to each person.
At Journey Recovery Centre, we take a very holistic approach to drug detox. Each patient deserves to have a treatment plan that covers all aspects of their addiction. A comprehensive recovery plan lays the groundwork for lasting healing. Some of the benefits of our programme include:
Our detox is carefully monitored by experts in addiction. They help manage withdrawal safely and comfortably, any time of the day or night. This careful attention helps reduce any risks and makes sure patients are as comfortable as possible during detox.
It’s important to start dealing with the emotional and mental parts of addiction from the beginning. Our programme includes different types of therapy, like one-on-one and group sessions, to help start this important work early on.
Behavioural therapies are a key part of our approach. They give patients new ways to change harmful behaviours and ways of thinking. These methods are vital for building strength against addiction and teaching how to cope in healthier ways.

The facility itself is a homely and comfortable environment. There is no better place to grow and recover.
