๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ recovery has, in many ways, become a paradox that feeds the sceptics. On one side, clients are pampered with personal chefs, massages, and bedtime stories. On the other, government-funded rehabs struggle to provide basic therapeutic input. And yet, both extremes lead their clients to the exact same places including the fellowship meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous!
When I first went for addiction treatment in 1995 there was two group therapy sessions a day on โpowerlessness and damages, no gym, no excursions, no tuck shop, lots of step work, lectures, workshops and drama therapy. Realistic individualised consequences followed poor attitudes and behaviours and access to a phone was very limited.

After a devastating relapse in 2023 and a year in treatment my role in the industry has changed. I no longer work on-site at Twin Rivers Recovery Centre, instead now work remotely for Twin Rivers focussing on marketing, client services, programme development and admissions. I relocated to the city of Johannesburg which I am really enjoying ๐
โWith over 50 years of lived and professional experience in addiction and mental health, I not only work remotely as the founder of Twin Rivers Rehab but also consult for treatment facilities worldwide. My role is to provide trusted, hands-on expertise that helps new and established recovery-based facilities build strong foundations, improve client care, and achieve sustainable growth.โ
The following services are on offer for those who recognise how a โfresh eyesโ professional and practical approach can clear the way for improved functionality for individuals and businesses alike:-
โข Rehab start up guidance saving time and money for investors. Due diligence is key as well as location and property lay out and whether it is recovery conducive

โข Programme development and flexibility. Client complaints and exit questionnaires.

โข Public speaking. Motivational talks
My approach is direct, respectful and practical. I know what works and what doesnโt work as I have lived both sides of the coin!
Then letโs talk. Recovery isnโt meant to be easy โ but it can be honest, effective, and transformative.
Please get in touch โ letโs bring honour back to recovery.
