Our recent equine therapy outing was a powerful reminder of the deep lessons nature and animals can offer in recovery.

We began with a talk on how animals mirror our spiritual journey, followed by meditation in a field of donkeys — receiving their unconditional love and affection. Clients then witnessed a trust demonstration between a trainer and a rescued horse, reflecting on how learning to trust in recovery mirrors these relationships. Each client was invited to connect with a horse of their choice — leading it through an obstacle course, grooming, and experiencing the bond firsthand.

The day closed with a silent hike to the river, journaling, and lunch together — grounding the insights from this beautiful experience.

Substance abuse can affect the brain’s reward system, making it harder to feel pleasure from everyday activities. Over time, this can lead to:

▫️Strong cravings and loss of control.
▫️Mood swings, anxiety, or depression.
▫️Difficulty with memory, focus, and decision-making.
▫️Behavioural changes, such as secrecy, withdrawal, or irritability.

These changes are not a reflection of who a person truly is. They are symptoms of the illness. With the right treatment, the brain can begin to heal, and behaviour can change. 🌿

Are you curious about the difference between a 28-day and 90-day treatment plan? 🗓️

The 28-day programme offers a gentle introduction to recovery. Clients begin with medical support to ensure they feel safe and stable before joining therapy, counselling, and educational groups. It is also a time to be introduced to the 12-Step programme and to begin exploring the behaviours linked to addiction.

The 90-day programme allows space for deeper healing. With three months in treatment, clients can complete the 12 Steps in full, work through patterns more thoroughly, and begin to take on responsibility within the community. Many who choose the longer path find that the extra time helps them build confidence and a stronger foundation for lasting recovery. 🌿

If you would like to learn more about our admissions process, kindly reach out to our team at bookings@thecedars.co.za or call us on 0818609578.

Recovery is also about rediscovering joy and connection. 🌿

At The Cedars, clients take part in activities that nurture body and mind. At our South Coast facility, we offer yoga, swimming, game nights, and scenic hikes to encourage laughter and community. Ocean safaris offer the chance to see dolphins and whales, and even snorkel in the warm waters of the South Coast. These experiences remind us that healing is not only about therapy. It is about learning to live fully again. 💛

Recovery is more than stopping the use of substances. It is about building a new way of life. 🌿

At The Cedars, our approach is rooted in the 12-Step programme. These guiding principles give structure and direction to the journey of recovery, offering practical tools for coping with life beyond treatment.

Once stabilised, clients are supported to work through each step carefully and to put what they learn into practice within a safe, therapeutic community. The process is not about perfection, but about growth, learning responsibility, finding courage, and rediscovering hope and purpose.

The 12 Steps are not just a programme. They are a path to lasting change. 💙

At our Midlands facility, we believe recovery is not only about healing the mind but also about caring for the body. Movement plays an important role in restoring balance, managing stress and supporting emotional well-being.

That is why we offer yoga, nature walks and access to gym equipment. In the calm surroundings of the Midlands, these activities become more than just exercise. They are gentle steps towards healthier routines and a renewed sense of self. 🌸

We offer a variety of amenities at each of our facilities. Visit our website today to learn more https://thecedars.co.za/facility/cedars-midlands-estate/.

"I grew up with two loving parents. I had been given every opportunity a young boy could ask for. I should want for nothing, but no matter what I did, I could not satisfy a desire to fit in, to belong, to be at ease or to feel complete. At thirteen, I finally found something that solved all my problems.

Consequences started coming into my life, friends left, and I had completely ruined relationships with those close to me, especially my parents. I remember sitting by myself and feeling hopeless and alone, but convinced I did not have a problem.

I then found myself at Cedars. I took my last mind-altering substance on the 29th of June 2017. I woke up on the 30th clean and sober but far from recovery. I spent the next four months going through the 12 steps, learning about spirituality and responsibility. It took me a while to accept all that was happening, but I could not help but fall in love with this program the moment I started working on it. It was challenging, but I am so grateful for the encouragement and the guidance I received at Cedars.

Today, I have the most incredible relationship with my family. I am active in AA and have made the most amazing friends. I am grateful to Cedars, who gave me my start." - Jaden S.

Thank you for trusting us with your stories. Recovery is an ongoing journey, and we are proud of every step you continue to take. 🌿

This month, our Midlands patients had the chance to switch up their routine for something a little faster – go-karting. 🏎️

It was a day filled with excitement, laughter, and the thrill of friendly competition. Beyond the fun, it reminded us how important it is to embrace new experiences, celebrate the moment, and share joy with others.

Recovery is not only about the hard work inside the treatment centre. It is also about creating memories, rebuilding confidence, and finding joy in life again.

Recovery is a process that unfolds in stages. Understanding each step can help individuals and their loved ones navigate the journey with patience and hope. 🤍

The main stages include:

1️⃣ Early stage – Detox and withdrawal as the body begins to heal. This stage can be physically and emotionally challenging.
2️⃣ Middle stage – Building new routines, learning healthy coping skills and repairing relationships.
3️⃣ Late stage – Maintaining progress, managing triggers and creating a balanced life that supports lasting wellness.

Each stage is important and requires different support. Recovery is not a straight path, but with time, commitment and connection, healing is possible.

When a loved one lies, it can feel painful and confusing, often coming from fear or shame as part of addiction. Reacting with anger may push them further away, so responding with calm and patience helps create space for honesty to grow. 💚

Building trust takes time and steady support, with clear boundaries and listening without judgment to help healing begin. It is okay to feel hurt and to seek support for yourself, remembering recovery is a journey best travelled together, step by step.
