LONG TERM REHAB
Secondary Care Rehab
River Manor – colloquially referred to as ‘The Farm’ – is Changes’ long-term treatment facility. Here clients are given the space and time to address their addiction in-depth in a safe and calm environment. It is a 20-bed facility located on a tranquil and spacious plot in Ruimsig. Patients have an opportunity to care for our farm animals, this promotes a benefit from animal therapy, including equine therapy. Long-term treatment greatly enhances an individual’s chance of achieving successful long-term sobriety. Nutritious meals are provided and clients’ dietary needs are considered and catered for.

The continuum of care in addiction treatment supports individuals throughout their path to recovery. Inpatient detox provides intensive care for managing withdrawal and dismantling denial, typically lasting 21 to 42 days with 24-hour supervision. Following detox, primary rehab treatment focuses on intensive therapies and equipping patients with tools for a substance-free life. Secondary rehab offers long-term treatment, usually 1 to 3 months, in a safe environment for addressing deeper addiction issues with structured routines and therapies. Finally, tertiary care or sober living homes help individuals reintegrate into society with ongoing support, group therapy, and individual counselling, extending care up to 12 months or more. Each phase, often covered by medical aid, ensures a comprehensive and personalised approach to recovery, addressing both immediate and long-term needs. We offer the full continuum of care: outpatient, detox, primary rehab treatment, extended stay rehab and halfway house / sober home reintegration from our Johannesburg rehab facilities.
