In February 2009, in response to the demand, The Bethesda Recovery Homes opened 'Still Waters' a luxurious Secondary Care Home in Plettenberg Bay
At Still Waters, our clients are supervised in the initial stages of learning how to take 80% of the responsibility for the personal daily application of the principles of recovery instilled within them at Bethesda’s Retreat.
The Still Waters programme offers clients the security of a supervised 'early recovery' in that we provide 24-hour staff cover, daily psychotherapeutic group sessions, one-to-one counseling and weekly community group accountability sessions. Clients are closely monitored with regard to attitudes, behaviours and the amount of effort they put into their recovery.
Plettenberg Bay offers our clients a wide variety of 12 Step Recovery Group options and involvement in the 12 Step meetings is compulsory. We place this expectation upon our clients as a means of instilling within them the necessary discipline of staying in touch with recovery orientated people.
Clients must start to take responsibility for managing their own budget, shopping and cooking, washing and ironing. We believe the only way to contribute into the Self Esteem Account is to do things by and for one's Self.
