This is then presented to the addiction counselling team and an initial recovery approach is planned for the clients&rsquo; rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual therapy is supplemented by information sessions, life skills workshops and an introduction to 12-step fellowships such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aasouthafrica.org.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alcoholics Anonymous<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/na.org.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">Narcotics Anonymous<\/a>.  Being familiarised with these 12-step fellowships is a key ingredient to successful treatment. For many, it is the bridge between treatment and the world outside the doors of the facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or anyone close to you needs help with an addiction to <a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/sex-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"sex, (opens in a new tab)\">sex,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/gambling-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"gambling (opens in a new tab)\">gambling<\/a>, substances, <a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/alcohol-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"alcohol (opens in a new tab)\">alcohol<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/food-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"food (opens in a new tab)\">food<\/a>, please <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">contact us<\/a> for a free assessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.crossroadsrecovery.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/johannesburg-treatment-centre\/\">074 89 51043<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Johannesburg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> JHB<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/pretoria-treatment-centre\/\" target=\"_blank\">012 450 5033<\/a> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pretoria\" target=\"_blank\">PTA<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rehabilitation Centres-What Process do they Follow?
