Here are a few things that

Our Rehabilitation Residents Should Know

Accommodation

Patients have the option of having a private room or a shared room. Shared rooms have no more than 2 patients per room. All our rooms have private bathrooms. It is important to know that the rates vary between private and shared.

Communication

A basic understanding of the English Language is required as all treatment programs are conducted in English. A program of individual counselling along with group sessions, rest and relaxation is a vital part of your program.
