Situated in the premium equestrian suburb of Glenferness, Kyalami, Midrand, the facility boasts lush gardens and picturesque alcoves that assist in the healing process.

Cascading water features and lush gardens are the backdrops for this five-star accommodation; clients are met with pleasing interiors and spacious living areas. Bathrooms are state of the art with modern fittings. Décor is a mixture of both modern and chic with an emphasis on peaceful and serene environments, that equates to being a home away from home. An industrial kitchen, fully equipped with all modern appliances, provides clients with gourmet meals, designed by a nutritionist and prepared by well-trained kitchen staff. The centre also caters to Kosher, Halaal, Vegan and Vegetarian needs.  Cultural and religious traditions will be acknowledged and respected.

Our Approach

The core principles of the treatment programme are embedded in the Minnesota Treatment Model  accompanied by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, meditation, yoga, individual therapy, family counselling, group therapy, psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluations, spiritual guidance, life coaching, recovery coaching, fitness programmes, music therapy, art therapy and horticultural therapy; all covered in a holistic approach to the treatment of substance use disorder.

“We have in-house psychologists, medical doctors, professional  nurses and a psychiatrist, which form an integral part of the therapeutic team. Our staff includes many social workers and several addiction counsellors, each with years of experience in the area of effective recovery,” said Gibson Kistan, CEO of EDEN.

A combination of therapy and medication helps to ensure positive treatment outcomes. The goal of therapy is in helping patients to identify behaviours that led to their addiction, and to assist them in finding new ways of dealing with emotional and psychological challenges in future, without the use of substances.
