Our Rehabilitation programs

Your road to recovery

At First Step we tailor treatment programs to address the specific needs and issues of each individual client. As a particular treatment might be appropriate for one but not another, we take the time to understand your preferences and circumstances - who you are, where you’ve come from and where you want to go. Our programs are therefore always built from ‘the ground up’ by renowned professionals from a range of healing modalities. We all work as a team to create a customised treatment plan with the aim of restoring optimum health within an intensive time-frame.

The professionals at First Step have years of experience and expertise in treating alcohol and drug addiction. Developing this solid program of recovery is based on many years of assessing what kinds of approaches have proven successful.

We provide our clients with a safe haven where they can focus exclusively on their health, well-being, and recovery. Everything else is completely taken care of like first-class accommodations, nutrition, recreation and relaxation. With nothing to worry about beyond healing, the addict or alcoholic has the best possible opportunity to beat their addiction.

The approach at First Step is a holistic one, treating the whole person, not just the disease. We feel that the best way to beat addiction is to replace it with a healthy and rewarding way of life.
