Recovery Wellness Program (RWP) – Online
The RWP is an outpatient and aftercare programme, which has been developed using adult education, peer support and recovery coaching. This program is meant for anyone who has completed in-patient treatment.
Our program is well suited as an adjacent program to your aftercare provided by the clinic you went for your in-patient treatment. Part of the admissions process to RWP is an intake where we tailor the program to your needs and where you are at in your recovery.
You are encouraged to attend the core coaching programme for a period of three to six weeks to ground and anchor your recovery and create a scaffolding on which to build your personal recovery and wellness.
During this time, you do have access to individual coaching and after the initial period you have access to the outpatient programme for 12 months to support sustained recovery and wellness.

Here are 5 elements of RWP
1. Recovery Coaching
Recovery Coaching is about:
- Rebuilding recovery capital in the physical, mental, emotional, social & spiritual areas of your life.
- Developing a personalised recovery plan in line with your unique goals, dreams & aspirations.
- Setting realistic, long-term goals and developing short-term action plans to achieve them within reasonable time frames.
- Identifying harmful triggers that could result in lapse or relapse, and effectively learning to deal with these issues in daily life with the use of forward-focused and solutions-driven tools and techniques.
- Learning about the physiological and neurological elements of substance and behavioural abuse disorders, and what the major causes of addiction are believed to be.
- Understanding and challenging faulty, habitual thought patterns, habits & behaviours, and replacing them with improved ways of dealing with potentially difficult and challenging situations.
- Establishing healthy, self-loving personal boundaries to build strong, interdependent relationships in your personal and professional life.
- Finding the answers to your personal truth and living an empowered, authentic life.
- Working in a collaborative, accountable relationship with a coach to achieve a more balanced, holistic approach to long-term recovery and wellness.
- Creating a safe, collaborative space to explore possibilities and the availability of personal and community resources to aid sustained recovery.
Recovery Coaching is NOT about:
- FRAPping… Fixing, Rescuing, Advising or Projecting our emotions, experiences, feelings and solutions onto others.
- Being sick…in the coaching space you are a well person who is best able to develop your recovery plan.
- Treating addiction...recovery coaching operates within the wellness and positive psychology paradigm and is not a replacement for substance abuse and addiction treatment.
- Being given advice and answers to your questions...you have all the answers you need inside yourself.
- Being told what to do and how to do it...the long-term goals you choose and short- term plans you make will be your own.
- Holding onto guilt, shame & anger...it's about letting go of the past, embracing forgiveness and learning to live in the present.
