About Us

Founded in 1985, the Cape Town Drug Counselling Centre has been a vital resource for the Western Cape community. We specialise in outpatient drug treatment and rehabilitation, providing professional support to those struggling with substance use, as well as to their families and loved ones. Our mission is simple: to bring about transformation and recovery for individuals affected by addiction.

Our Services

Comprehensive Treatment Programmes

We offer structured outpatient treatment programmes tailored to the needs of each individual. Our approach includes counselling, education, and relapse prevention strategies to help clients regain control of their lives.

Training & Education

Knowledge is key to prevention and recovery. We provide educational resources on drug use, its effects, and coping strategies. Our training programmes support both professionals and families in understanding and dealing with substance abuse.

Support for Families & Loved Ones

Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual—it impacts family, friends, and the wider community. Our services extend to those directly affected, offering guidance and counselling to help them navigate the challenges of supporting a loved one in recovery.

Research & Statistics

Our centre compiles valuable data on substance use trends, client demographics, and treatment outcomes. These insights help shape our approach and improve the services we offer.
