What is the definition of Drug Abuse?
Drug abuse refers to the habitual misuse of illegal substances, such as cocaine or heroin, or the improper use of prescription medications (e.g., opioids or stimulants) and over-the-counter drugs beyond their intended medical purpose or in excessive quantities. This behavior can result in severe consequences, including physical health issues like organ damage or overdose, emotional distress such as anxiety or depression, social isolation from family and friends, and job-related difficulties, including unemployment or reduced productivity. Prolonged drug abuse may also lead to addiction, a chronic condition requiring professional treatment. And this is where Recovery From Home can help you.
Imagine this scenario, is this you?
It’s another morning, and you wake up with that familiar weight on your chest. The guilt, the shame, the endless cycle of promises you’ve made to yourself and broken. You want to change. You need to change. But the thought of leaving your job, your family, your life behind to check into a rehab facility feels impossible. How can you step away when the world keeps turning, when responsibilities keep piling up?
You’re not alone in this struggle. Millions of people have stood where you are now, feeling trapped between the life they’re living and the life they dream of. But here’s the truth: Recovery doesn’t have to mean putting your life on hold. At Recovery From Home, we believe in a different kind of healing—one that meets you where you are, in the comfort of your own space, without asking you to sacrifice the things that matter most.
We offer a confidential solution with personalized at-home addiction therapy and a substance abuse medical detox recovery program designed for lasting change. While traditional rehabs offer valuable services, online therapy provides a modern, flexible, and often a prompt response to substance abuse recovery. While traditional rehabs have waiting lists months long, we can accomodate you now, today! By leveraging technology, individuals can take control of their healing journey, and benefit by receiving effective support tailored to their unique circumstances. For those considering their options, understanding these benefits can make a significant difference in choosing the right path to recovery.

WHY CHOOSE OUR SERVICES?
Choosing Recovery From Home for drug addiction is about recovery that fits your life.
When drug addiction takes hold, life’s demands—work, family, and daily responsibilities—don’t stop. Traditional rehab facilities often require you to leave everything behind, but at Recovery From Home, we offer a transformative alternative: a 23-day online addiction treatment program that delivers professional, personalized care without disrupting your world. Whether you’re in Pretoria, Cape Town, George, or a rural South African community, our home-based recovery program empowers you to conquer addiction while staying connected to your life.
Our clients often share stories of feeling trapped, torn between the need for treatment and responsibilities they can’t abandon. Recovery From Home breaks this barrier. With our program, you receive expert care tailored to your unique needs, all from the comfort of your home. Maintain your work schedule, support your family, and stay rooted in your community while building a foundation for lasting sobriety. Our 3% relapse rate—compared to 40-60% for inpatient programs—proves that recovery at home isn’t just convenient; it’s life-changing.
Recovery From Home – The Difference
Traditional rehab centers provide structured environments with 24/7 support, but they come with challenges: high costs, long waiting lists, and the stigma of stepping away from your life. South Africa’s public rehab system faces a 26% surge in demand (South African Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use), leading to overcrowded facilities and relapse rates of 40-60% within the first year (American Addiction Centers). At Recovery From Home, we offer a modern, accessible solution that matches inpatient care’s quality while keeping you grounded in your support system.
Our 23-day program treats drug addictions like alcohol, cocaine, and prescription medications, as well as behavioral addictions when needed. Here’s what sets us apart:
Personalized Treatment: A bio-psychosocial assessment creates a custom plan targeting your addiction and co-occurring conditions like anxiety or PTSD, common in South Africa’s high-trauma context.
Medical Consultation: Licensed providers manage safe withdrawal via telehealth, prescribing medications like methadone when necessary, with home-based drug testing for accountability.
Evidence-Based Therapies: Engage in online therapy benefits like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and root-cause counseling, delivered by experts with over 10 years of experience.
Holistic Wellness: Daily workbook exercises, mindfulness practices, and nutrition guidance build tools to manage cravings and stress.
24/7 Support: Access continuous support through phone, video, or messaging, with three daily check-ins to ensure you’re never alone.
Family Therapy Options: Involve loved ones in virtual sessions to rebuild trust and strengthen your home environment.
Aftercare for Long-Term Success: Continue with secondary recovery or flexible aftercare therapy to sustain progress.
Why Home-Based Recovery Works
Recovering at home is about more than convenience—it’s about building resilience in your own environment. Traditional rehab can disconnect you from daily life, making reintegration challenging. Our program empowers you to confront triggers in real-time, developing practical skills for lasting sobriety. A client shared, “Recovery From Home helped me more in 23 days than a year in rehab. I am free!” With a 3% relapse rate, our approach proves that staying connected to your life drives success, whether you’re in the urban city or rural areas.
ENSURING YOUR SYSTEMS ARE OPTIMAL
ONGOING SUPPORT
Effective addiction treatment includes planning for ongoing support. Our aftercare program may involve continued therapy, participation in SMART support groups, and other supportive measures to help prevent relapse and maintain progress.
TAILORED CARE
Our commitment to individualized treatment is a key factor in our success rate of over 70%. This personalized approach sets us apart from traditional public rehabs in South Africa, reflecting our dedication to effective, tailored care.

Our clients success stories:
Our clients success stories:
“I was so deep in my addiction that I didn’t even recognize myself anymore. I’d given up on ever being happy or healthy. But Recovery From Home gave me a chance to start over. The program was so flexible—I could attend sessions during my lunch break or after work. My counselor helped me rediscover the person I used to be, and the online community gave me the strength to keep going. Today, I’m sober, and I’ve found a new purpose in life. I’m proof that it’s never too late to change.”
– Michael, 51
I was extremely impressed by the experience of completing the assessment and seeing the wealth of clinical material that is generated when you explained my results. This was even more powerfully demonstrated in your presentation of Recovery neuropsychological assessments before and after scores. It clearly has a robust scientific base but, by addressing the underlying dynamic processes, it gives an easily understood model of the focus driving all that is within. I will be extremely excited to be involved in this.
“I was a functioning addict for years. I told myself I didn’t need help because I could still hold down a job. But my kids—they knew something was wrong. The day my daughter asked me why I was always ‘sick’ was the day I knew I had to change. Recovery From Home let me get help without losing my job or missing time with my kids. The program was tough, but it was worth it. Today, I’m the dad my kids can be proud of. I’m present, I’m sober, and I’m finally free.”
– David, 47
I entrust my entire family in Gideon’s therapeutic care. He is a breath of fresh air in the stale world of traditional therapy. No wonder that after only 6 months in the UK he was already interviewed by BBC News. Brilliant!
I was the worst of the worst and never thought I’d have the chance to change my ways. Dr Gideon De Wit truly saved my life in more than one way. Not only a true gem of a person but also fantastic at teaching you the necessary skill set to avoid future mistakes. The journey I have been on with Dr Gideon has helped me better understand myself, better my ability to improve my relationships and also gave me a fresh start on life. I owe all my future success to you. Thank you for your help, without you I’d still be the druggie that couldn’t go a day without her fix. I highly recommend his services, worth every moment and penny.
Highly recommend Gideon’s unique treatment that goes far beyond addiction. A great person and true professional.
Bloody marvelous! I cannot wait for our weekly sessions.
I have been in and out of Rehabs many times, once for an entire year. Recovery From Home has helped me more in 23 days than a year in a Rehab. Finally, I am free!
I could not believe that such a simple test could reveal so much of my inner workings. At first, I thought that the councilors cheated by telling Gideon my life story beforehand, but he deduced massive amounts of information even before being introduced to me. I recommend him and Recovery From Home with the greatest confidence.
“I was a single mom, working two jobs just to keep food on the table. My addiction to prescription pills started as a way to cope with the stress, but it quickly spiraled out of control. I wanted to get clean, but how could I leave my kids to go to rehab? Recovery From Home gave me a lifeline. I could attend therapy sessions after putting my kids to bed, and the online support groups became my safe space. Today, I’m sober, present, and finally the mom my kids deserve. This program didn’t just save me—it saved my family.”
– Sarah, 34
The Recovery From Home assessment gave me a comprehensive framework and strategy for understanding myself and the things that motivates me. Gideon possesses the unique ability to create a space where someone can truly discover themselves.
I undertook the evaluation process with Gideon to understand the complex interaction with others, myself, and the environment. I found it provided an analytical insight into our unique thought process and would highly recommend him as a caring and competent therapist to aid people in self-awareness and strategy advancement to reach their full potential.
This place helped me immensely with my addiction and I will recommend them hands down.
Comprehensive & compassionate approach
We offer a comprehensive and compassionate approach to overcoming addiction. Our program is designed to help individuals achieve lasting recovery through evidence-based therapies and personal, personalised holistic support.
A clinical evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a healthcare professional to understand a patient’s medical, psychological, and emotional needs. It is crucial in diagnosing conditions, planning treatment, and monitoring progress.
A doctor’s appointment before starting an addiction program ensures that you receive a thorough evaluation of your physical and mental health. It helps design a safe, effective, personalised plan, manage risks, and coordinate comprehensive care. This step is critical for maximising the chances of successful recovery and minimising complications.
Random drug testing is a valuable tool in addiction treatment and management. It helps ensure adherence to treatment plans, monitor progress, maintain accountability, manage safety and risk, enhance treatment outcomes and build trust. While it may seem intrusive, its role in supporting recovery and promoting a safe environment is crucial for successful sobriety.
Our workbook with daily exercises is crucial in the recovery process. It offers structured support, fosters self-reflection, develops essential skills, reinforces therapeutic concepts and serves as an educational tool.
Three individual neuropsychological therapeutic sessions per week allow for consistent monitoring, skill development, and management of co-occurring disorders, ultimately supporting a more robust and sustained recovery process.
24/7 support is essential in addiction recovery because it provides immediate assistance, enhances safety, increases accountability, and offers comprehensive support. Ultimately, it provides a more stable and effective recovery process.
While traditional rehab centers struggle with success rates below 5% for preventing relapse, our independently verified approach achieves over 70%—a game-changing difference that makes us the clear, powerful choice for lasting recovery.
