Rehabilitation
Detox stops the substance. Rehabilitation rebuilds the life.
Getting someone through withdrawal takes a fortnight. Giving them a life worth staying sober for takes considerably longer. The Dunamis rehabilitation programme is residential, structured and deliberately unglamorous: fixed routine, daily therapy, physical work, responsibility and accountability to a group of people in the same position.
Length of stay runs from one to six months depending on the person. We do not discharge to a vacuum — every resident leaves with a follow-up schedule, a relapse plan and a phone number that is answered.
- Residential care with separate wings for men and women
- Daily group therapy, individual counselling and CBT
- Yoga, physical routine and restored nutrition
- Vocational activity and preparation for returning to work
- Structured aftercare and relapse-prevention follow-up
Who we rehabilitate
Rehabilitation for Alcohol
Detox, counselling and relapse prevention for alcohol dependence, with the family worked into the plan from the first week rather than briefed at discharge.
Rehabilitation for Drug Addiction
Safe, supervised detoxification followed by therapy that addresses why the drug was being used — and long-term support to keep the gain.
Rehabilitation for Mental Illness
For depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other conditions where a period of structured residential care restores stability, routine and independence.
Nicotine & Smoking Rehabilitation
Replacement therapy, counselling and craving management, combined with the lifestyle changes that keep someone off tobacco for good.
Rehabilitation for Men
A programme dealing directly with work pressure, financial damage, drinking culture and the rebuilding of trust with wives, parents and children.
Rehabilitation for Women
A secure, separate environment with counselling focused on self-esteem, mental health, safety, and support for mothers and caregivers.
Adolescents & Young Adults
Age-appropriate therapy, educational continuity and heavy family involvement, for young people whose use or illness began early.
Aftercare & Relapse Prevention
Monthly review, medication monitoring, support-group meetings and a direct line for families — continuing for at least a year after discharge.
A day inside the programme
The timetable is the treatment. It is the same every day, on purpose.
Wake, prayer or meditation, yoga
An early, fixed start. Physical movement before the day begins — for sleep, for appetite, and because a body in routine settles a mind that is not.
6.00 – 8.00 am · Followed by breakfast
Group therapy
The core session of the day. Residents speak, listen and hold each other to account, with a counsellor guiding rather than lecturing.
9.00 – 11.00 am · Daily, all residents
Individual counselling & medical review
One-to-one sessions, doctor rounds, medication review, and family meetings on scheduled days.
2.00 – 4.00 pm · By rotation
Vocational activity, recreation, reflection
Work, sport or skill sessions, then a closing group and an early night. Idle evenings are where relapse plans are made.
5.00 – 9.00 pm · Lights out at 10
Not a dramatic transformation, but an ordinary Tuesday: getting up, going to work, coming home, and being someone your family is glad to see.
