We are fortunate, by the grace of our God, to experience 50 Golden Years of Rehabilitation Treatment since 1962. The centre descended from the original well known Staanvas Centre. Stabilis has extended the activities inherited from Staanvas to such an extent that it necessitated a move to the present premises in 1995, and is housed in a purpose-built complex of buildings. The centre is situated in the quiet Moot area of Pretoria, has easy access to the N1 and N4 highways, bus routes, taxis, churches and shopping centres. Stabilis is one of only few treatment centres in South Africa that has the ability to provide a full multi-dimensional treatment services to its service users and their families, due to that the various interventions offered include a full multi-disciplinary treatment team. The preceding ensures an efficient treatment of dual diagnosis (a substance problem and a psychiatric disorder) simultaneously during the treatment process. The multi-disciplinary team includes the following professional members:
• A part-time psychiatrist, medical practitioner, occupational- and art therapists and minister of religion.
• Full-time psychologists and social workers.
• Full-time professional nursing staff available 24 hours a day. Vision
“ Stabilis is the preferred facility for the treatment of the substance dependent person, for re-installing zest in the life of this individual and his/her related family and social system ”
