Toevlug Sentrum

Why did Lottoland choose Toevlug Centre to support?

Toevlug Centre is situated in the Breede River Valley in Worcester.  This Centre was established in 1978 and we can proudly look back on the work of the past 38 years.   The Centre is registered in terms of the Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse of 1992 (Act 20 of 1992) to accommodate 50 voluntary inpatients and 20 youth between the ages of 13 and 18.   

Although Toevlug is well known for its inpatient treatment program the Centre renders an integrated service on all four levels of intervention, namely:  Awareness and prevention, Early intervention, Inpatient Treatment and Reintegration/Aftercare.

In 2014 the Centre opened a drug screening laboratory and in 2015 Toevlug was priviledged to start an Outpatient Programme which offer treatment to both Adults and adolescents.

"Toevlug Centre - Since 1978"

Toevlug offers two treatment programs, one for adults and a separate program for adolescents (youth aged 13 - 18 years).

The youth program has been developed to focus on the specific needs of the adolescent with substance related problems.

Both programs run over a period of five weeks.  The program starts with detoxification according to the guidelines as set by the Department of Health under the supervision of a medical doctor and 24 hour registered medical staff. Detoxification is followed by a scheduled treatment program presented by the multi-disciplinary team.  The multi-disciplinary team consists of social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists, psychiatrist, medical doctor, medical staff and pastoral staff.

Every patient is assessed by the multi-disciplinary team where after an individual treatment program is constructed. The Centre accommodates people from all religions. The Centre works on a cognitive behavioural model.  In our treatment model we network and form partnerships with a wide variety of other role players, for example SAPS, FAMSA, Stikland Hospital, Department of Health and the University of Stellenbosch, to name a few.

Family members, parents and significant others form an important part of the patients’ treatment and are cordially invited to be part of the treatment program.
