ABOUT OASIS RECOVERY CENTRE
Oasis is an internationally recognised rehabilitation centre, passionate and dedicated to guiding people through the challenging journey of addiction since 2005. In 2017, a new management team took ownership, bringing fresh fervour and years of clinical experience to build on the existing Oasis work and reputation.
The Oasis team has been carefully put together and cultivated from leading experts and professionals across South Africa to create an innovative and individualised treatment approach. The team, and Oasis itself, has grown and changed consistently as they have established their centre as a leader in the world of recovery.
The Oasis team continues this journey, even overcoming the many obstacles of a worldwide pandemic, to help clients find freedom from addiction and co-morbid psychiatric conditions.
Since 2005, Oasis has been a sanctuary where clients come seeking recovery, connection and hope. We have grown to become a trusted name for addiction and dual diagnosis treatment, attracting referrals from Europe’s leading treatment clinicians.
In 2017, the new ownership team took over Oasis and ignited it with passion, expertise and commitment. They have built a team who are dedicated to helping and empowering people. There is often the perception that treatment for addictive disorders and various dual diagnoses has to be uncomfortable, punitive and unpleasant. The Oasis team believes that the process of admitting to a problem that cannot be solved alone, and the process of healing, can be difficult enough.
The Oasis way is to empower people in their journey of discovering who they are, without addiction, obsession and compulsion. Our mission is to rebuild lives through hope, compassion and a dedication to excellence.

AVAILABLE PROGRAMMES
A fundamental principle of Oasis’ treatment is our philosophy that addictive behaviours are a means to survive… A way to cope with stress, escape inner pain and relieve guilt. In our treatment, a crucial element is creating an understanding of the important function that each individual client’s addiction serves.
MEET THE TEAM
Kathryn de Gouveia
Clinical Director
Kathryn is warm, empathic and knowledgeable and is a leader by example in all she does. With 16 years of experience, 10 years as Clinical Director of an internationally recognised eating disorder clinic in South Africa, she has an involved and hands-on approach to treatment and recovery. Kathryn believes in life-long recovery. Addiction is treated as the behavioural symptom of an underlying problem or need.
“Each person who walks through my office doors, comes in with their own story, their own pain and their own journey into recovery. Recovery is not found in abstinence alone, but in the new life that is built daily.”
