The WAY Recovery

The WAY Recovery Fully licensed Rehabilitation Center for persons addicted to alcohol, drugs and/or gambling.

We are proud to have a multi-disciplinary team of licensed professionals, most of them having the experience of addiction in their own lives. Our addiction counsellors, social worker and psychologist also offer support to families of the still suffering addicts. Our medical staff assists with medical detoxification to each person's individual needs and the removal of mind-altering substances. We offer a fully operational outpatient program based on The Matrix Model, that focus on the following:

The 12 Step Approach
Cognitive-Behavioral Approach
Motivational Approach
Therapeutic Community Approach

We have carefully combined various approaches to different platforms of the above mentioned programmes because responses to treatments differ from one person to another. The approach that best suits an individual will be used to build a framework that includes all of the approaches. The ultimate aim of assisting addicts in successful recovery is to empower them to choose new and different methods of self fulfillment. This is achieved by providing a safe environment in which the nature of their illness can be fully understood. Our counselling and life coaching staff who joins hands with these individuals are all recovering addicts themselves, with sobriety exceeding more than 5 years showing that the programme works.

👉 They’re waiting for you.

Addiction doesn’t just take from you, it takes from everyone who loves you.
But recovery gives it all back.

At The Way Recovery, we walk beside you from detox to reintegration, through a journey led by a dedicated, full-time clinical team:
including psychiatrists, medical doctors, registered nurses, psychologists, occupational therapists (OTs), social workers, and addiction counsellors who care deeply.

We’re fully licensed for Detox and Rehabilitation,
and recognised by leading medical aids as one of South Africa’s elite recovery centre
not by claim, but by the consistent results and standards that earn their trust.

We’re a DSP provider to major schemes like Bonitas and Fedhealth,
and we proudly welcome GEMS members and most other medical aids.

This isn’t just rehab — it’s rebuilding lives, families, and futures.

Because your story isn’t over.

And they’ve been waiting for you.

“Rehab?” vs “Recovery.”

Not all treatment centres are the same.

Anyone can say they offer rehab.
But true recovery takes more than beds and meals — it takes a committed, full-time team, clinical structure, and genuine care.

At The Way Recovery, your healing is guided by a dedicated, in-house team — not locums or rotating staff.

Our professional team includes:

✅ Psychiatrists & psychologists
✅ Medical doctors & registered nurses
✅ Occupational therapists (OTs)
✅ Social workers
✅ Addiction counselling professionals

We offer:
✅ Fully licensed for both DETOX and Rehabilitation services
✅ Individualised therapy plans — never one-size-fits-all
✅ 24/7 medical and therapeutic support
✅ DSP provider to major medical aids like Bonitas and Fedhealth
✅ We also regularly treat members from GEMS and most other medical aids
✅ Proven outcomes — recovery that lasts beyond discharge

Cheaper options often cut corners.

We don’t. Because recovery isn’t a cost — it’s an investment in your life.

Addiction isn’t a sin. It’s an illness.

For too long, people struggling with Substance Use Disorders (SUD) have been shamed, labelled, and silenced.
We’ve called them weak. Reckless. Broken.

But addiction is not a choice — it’s a condition that can be treated, managed, and overcome.

At The Way Recovery, we see beyond the behaviour.
We see the person — the father, the mother, the daughter, the friend — fighting to be well again.

When we replace judgment with understanding, healing begins.

Because recovery starts where stigma ends.

⚖️ Addiction is Addiction
Many want to see it as different.
“Drugs are worse than alcohol.”
“Painkillers aren’t as bad as weed.”
“Gambling isn’t the same as drinking.”

But at the end of the day — addiction is addiction.
No matter what the substance or habit.

Addiction can be:
✅ Illegal drugs ✅ W**d / Cannabis ✅ Painkillers ✅ Sleeping tablets ✅ Prescription meds ✅ Alcohol ✅ Gambling ✅ Gaming ✅ Social media ✅ Coffee / Caffeine ✅ Sugar & food ✅ Shopping / Spending ✅ …and many more

It’s not about what you use.
It’s about whether it’s using you.

If it steals your peace, your relationships, your time, or your future — it’s addiction.
And every addiction deserves recovery.

At The Way Recovery, we don’t label, we don’t judge — we help.
Because freedom is possible for everyone.

⏳ Clean Time vs Recovery
Many believe recovery is just about staying clean.
But the truth is — clean time and recovery are not the same thing.

Clean time can mean:
✅ Counting days since your last use
✅ Passing a drug test
✅ Staying away from substances

But recovery goes deeper. Recovery means:
💡 Learning new coping skills
💡 Healing your mental health
💡 Restoring broken relationships
💡 Rebuilding purpose and hope in life

You don’t just want days without using — you want a life worth living.

At The Way Recovery, we focus on more than abstinence.
We help you transform your life through real recovery.

🛑 Unlicensed Rehab Can Cost Lives
With the recent exposure of unethical rehab centres, it’s time to face the truth:
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a chronic medical condition.
It requires structured, evidence-based care — not punishment, shame, or unqualified treatment.
But across South Africa, vulnerable people are being placed in unlicensed, unregulated “rehabs” that do more harm than good.
❌ No full-time clinical team
❌ No medical oversight
❌ No accountability when things go wrong
And when things go wrong — it’s not just relapse.
It can mean death.
That’s why choosing the right facility matters.
Choose a centre with a reputable name.
A leader in the field.
A facility with a full-time, on-site team — not visiting staff or names on a referral list.
Because when you're treating Substance Use Disorder, you need more than motivation —
you need a Multidisciplinary Team, structure, and accountability.
✅ At The Way Recovery, we offer professional SUD care — done right:
🏥 Fully Licensed Private Rehab Centre – Pretoria
✔️ Full-time, on-site Multidisciplinary Team:

• Clinical & Counselling Psychologists

✔️ No “add-on” care — we’re on-site, every day
✔️ Medical Aid Approved (Bonitas, GEMS, Fedhealth, Polmed – no co-payment)

Yes, proper private rehab for SUD costs more — but here, you're not treated like a criminal.
You're treated like a patient. With respect. With structure. With the care you deserve.

Unlicensed rehab doesn’t just fail — it kills.

🧠 Addiction Doesn’t Always Look Like You Think
When people hear “addiction,” they picture needles or street drugs.
But the truth is far more common — and often hidden.

Addiction can be:
Alcohol. Painkillers. Sleeping tablets. P**n. Gambling.
Even prescription meds from a doctor.

It’s not about bad choices — it’s about an illness.
A chronic medical condition that hijacks the brain, destroys lives, and isolates people in shame.
And the longer it’s left untreated, the worse it gets.

Many suffer in silence because they “don’t look like an addict.”
Because they hold down a job, have a family, or never got arrested.
But addiction doesn’t care about appearances.

At The Way Recovery, we see past the stigma — and treat the reality.

When Addiction Hits Home: What Families Need to Know

Addiction doesn’t just hurt the person using — it hurts everyone around them.

Mothers. Fathers. Partners. Children.
You see it. You feel it. But you don’t know how to stop it.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) isn’t just about illegal drugs.
It includes alcohol, painkillers, sleeping tablets, anti-anxiety meds, prescription medication, even gambling or s*x.
It’s not a phase. It’s not just bad choices.
It’s a chronic medical condition that needs proper care.

Every day, families carry the weight in silence — confused, heartbroken, and afraid to speak up.
But there is help. And you can take that first step, even if your loved one can’t right now.

At The Way Recovery, we offer structured, professional treatment that supports both the person and the people who love them.

🏥 Fully Licensed Elite Rehab Centre in Pretoria
✔️ Clinical detox and psychiatric care
✔️ Full multidisciplinary team — 24/7 nurses, psychologists, social workers
✔️ Registered with DOH & DSD
✔️ Medical aid approved (Bonitas, GEMS, Fedhealth, Polmed – no co-payment)

You can call. You can ask questions.
You can help save their life.

🧠 Substance Use Disorder: The Truth Behind the Struggle

Most people think they understand addiction — until it affects someone they love.
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) isn’t just about drugs.
It includes alcohol, painkillers, sleeping tablets, prescription meds, even gambling or s*x.
It’s not a weakness. It’s not bad behavior.
It’s a chronic medical condition — and left untreated, it can be fatal.

Every day, people suffer in silence because of judgment, shame, and stigma.
They’re told to “get over it” or “pull themselves together” — when what they really need is proper medical care and structured support.

At The Way Recovery, we offer exactly that.

🏥 Fully Licensed Elite Rehab Centre in Pretoria
✔️ Clinical detox and psychiatric oversight
✔️ Psychologists, social workers, 24/7 nursing, and full MDT

👉 Let’s break the silence. Let’s end the shame.
Because recovery is possible — and it starts with understanding.

Our Story

Who We Are

The WAY Recovery (PTY) Ltd is established on a solid foundation of history and a burning desire to transform that history into relentless efforts to build a sober and healthy society. At the helm of our organisation is inspirational Adriaan Vorster Jr who is the founder and COO of our organisation. Our history is based on Adriaan's 19 year’s long addiction to substance abuse, his struggle to desperately get help which saw him move through 12 different rehabilitation centres from faith based organisations to psychiatric centres. This troubling history has been the driving force behind Adriaan’s burning desire to help others get clean in an ideal environment he struggled to access and programs he struggled to find for himself during his struggle with addiction.

The Way Recovery is fully registerd in terms of the substance abuse act of 2008.
