Our Mission:
We are dedicated to providing the most effective
addiction treatment available,
restoring life, dignity and hope to all those affected.

Welcome to Stepping Stones Addiction Centre, a place of understanding, compassion and discretion. Since 1998 we have been offering hope and dignity to the many people who suffer from or are affected by the devastating disease of addiction.

Situated in the beautiful seaside village of Kommetjie, Cape Town, Stepping Stones is a licensed psychiatric hospital dedicated to the treatment of addictions and other compulsive behaviours. It is accredited by the Council of Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa as meeting international treatment standards.

Our skilled multi-disciplinary clinical team has vast experience in addiction treatment. The team includes specialist addiction counsellors, an occupational therapist, psychologists, and consulting psychiatrists and general practitioners. In support, is a 24-hour nursing team, highly experienced and trained in addiction treatment.

Our core focus is the delivery of intensive, effective residential treatment of alcohol and other drug addiction, eating disorders, compulsive gambling and related disorders. We are also recognized experts in the treatment of dual diagnosed patients, effectively treating both the addiction and the co-existing psychiatric disorder.

The intensive treatment programme incorporates the most recent evidence-based practice, including 12-step facilitation (TSF), cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement. Given too, that addiction profoundly affects families and all significant others, Stepping Stones runs a specifically designed Family Programme in conjunction with the individual patient's treatment.

The beauty of Stepping Stones' location next to the sea and below the mountains allows patients to reconnect with nature in all its splendour. Daily beach walks and weekly mountain hikes facilitate healing on a physical, psychological and spiritual level.
