Substance / Alcohol Use Disorder

Oasis has successfully been treating Substance Use Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder since 2005. In collaboration with the detox physician, Dr Johan Olivier, we are able to treat all substance use disorders (addictions), and where necessary provide safe medical detoxification in a private hospital in Knysna. Accepting that detox can be a difficult process for some, our clients are assigned one of our trained nurses to support the client 24 hours a day.

Substances effect a person’s cognitive, physical and emotional abilities, and can play a significant role in their motivation to participate in treatment. These factors together with any mood or personality disorders are taken into consideration when treating our clients.

Oasis successfully treats the following substance dependencies:

  • Alcohol
  • Opiates (like heroin) and Opioids (like codeine)
  • Prescription drugs (sedatives, hypnotics, benzodiazepines, or anxiolytics like sleeping pills and tranquilizers)
  • Lean (Cough syrups)
  • Cocaine
  • Cannabis (marijuana)
  • Amphetamines (like methamphetamines, known as meth, speed or tik)
  • Hallucinogens
  • MDMA, Ecstasy, GHB, Ketamine
  • Khat, Cat
  • Inhalants
  • Other unspecified substances
