Our treatment is unique in that:
Bloemendal offers treatment in a beautiful and serene setting amongst the lemon trees and surrounding mountain ranges.
Bloemendal does not utilize a one size fits all approach. Clients are assessd case by case and their treatment needs identified by the Clinical team consisting of various HPCSA professionals.
The intense and frequent provision of individual psychotherapy and case management by psychologists is unique in the field of substance abuse treatment and psychiatry. This affords for the treatment to be much more focused on the client’s unique individual needs, which then allows for a treatment plan based on these specific needs.
In addition, for general patients, the psychologists on the team have various specializations and interests, in such areas as specific diagnostic knowledge; emotional regulation difficulties; personality structure and functioning; the authentic self; trauma and more. The psychodynamics and particular vulnerabilities which underlies and maintains the mental health problems can therefore be optimally treated.
The team approach at Bloemendal allows a patient to be treated by professionals across various fields for optimal treatment.
We further encourage clients to engage with a spiritual dimension by offering the possibilities of meditation; walks/ outings in nature; and mindfulness-based approaches.
We have a philosophy of care and nurturing, and emphasize client responsibility and personal growth, as well as the development of self-reliance.
We focus on wholeness and self-discovery, and for clients to reconnect to the meaning in themselves and their lives.
