The Cedars

What a phenomenal place. I can't thank Cedars enough for how they have changed my life in every way. The councilors, the program, the food, the medical staff, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING there is done brilliantly. I needed help and change desperately and was willing to do anything it takes and Cedars made it possible. Thank you for your help and support back when I needed it Team Cedars you are TRUELY PHENOMENAL

My 24 year old son is there now completing the 12 step program, i cannot tell you the change in this guy already and the relief i feel at seeing the love that comes from the councellors and staff at Cedars. Truly a 5 star recovery centre. Thank you to all involved and especially Caleb for helping him believe again in himself

I am, what is often referred to, as a multiple rehabber. It wasn't until I came to Cedars that I truly began on my journey to build a new life from the absolute destruction I myself had caused with my substance abuse.The Cedars team is loving and caring on a level I have never experienced in another rehab. Their true interest in helping me build a better life definitely required challenging some pre-conceived ideas I had built over the years, but today I can say that I am forever grateful they took on that challenging job.Today I am a responsible contributor to society, I have relationships with my family, true friendships and happy to say I still have the support of Cedars in many aspects.The Cedars is the only rehabilitation facility that worked for a person like me and I would recommend only this facility if you or a loved one needs help.

I went to the Cedars Midlands. Their modality is one of breaking the individual down. No proper medical care either. I had been completely substance free when going there. I had been for months after having trouble with getting off prescription medication from my GP. I had thought it would be a place of healing and compassion but it was the opposite. An absolute nightmare. That place literally destroyed my life and left me severely traumatized. My advice would be to send your children there if its an absolute last resort, but explore other more caring options first or else they may come back more broken.

Cedars saved my life.My entire life I had been running away from life, from my problems and from myself. I turned to maladaptive coping mechanisms and substances to help me deal with life, but when these stopped working I was left only with chaos, pain, loneliness and a solution that was no longer working.The team at Cedars Midlands helped me face my reality and the parts of myself that I spent avoiding for 30 years. They helped me take responsibility for the part that I played in the harm and destruction that peppered my life and the lives of my loved ones and those closest to me.In doing so I was provided with a new way to live. A life of connection, spirituality and love. A life worth living. A life no longer weighed down by the guilts and shame of my past.The positive ripple effect of my stay at Cedars is that my family can now live their lives as well, and our relationships are better than I could ever have imagined.I am and will forever be grateful to this incredible place and to the people who work there for affording me a second chance at life, and for equipping me with the tools necessary to live life on its own terms.What I gained through my time spent there, well and truly, is a gift. This is the gift of freedom.Thank you!

When I was booked into Cedars I had no idea what a Treatment Centre was about. I was completely addicted to prescription medication, to the point of seizures and in my logic I thought there was no way out. Cedars helped me with not only my addiction, but other arias of my life and the past. I had support throughout my Journey there. It’s not easy to get sober and stay sober, looking back now a year and 8 months later, I am able to maintain normal relationship with people. I was also able to rebuild my relationships with my family and connect with the people I truly love. I still work with Cedars today. I have a rock solid sponsor. And I know if I need direction Cedars is just a phone call away. As a Result of me going to Cedars and facing my addiction, my addiction no longer owns me, and I live a wonderful beautiful life today.

The 3 months that I spent at The Cedars is an experience I will never forget. I came in tired, angry and not knowing who I was but at the same time, too scared to show it. The Cedars not only helped me with my drug and alcohol addiction but they helped me to take a good hard look at myself. Today I am sober, clean and excited about life and I am happy with who I am. I am so grateful for The Cedars, the counselors and the many friends I met along the way. If you are seriously willing to get better then this is the place for you.

Very big on breaking you down. They lie to your family about you and don't really care about their patients. No love or care. Just business. I went to another rehab after getting kicked out of the Cedars for being depressed. Not a single problem at the new rehab. Lots of love and care and they actually helped me with my addiction as well as my psychiatric problems... Been depression free and sober for 5 months now.

The Cedars South Coast changed my life and taught me a new way of how to live a life beyond my wildest dreams! Forever grateful to The Cedars

The Cedars saved my life. I had spent a lifetime struggling with mental health issues, eating disorders, self harm and suicidal ideation and attempts. By the age of 45 I had been given 5 different, serious diagnoses. I arrived at Cedars after 8 yrs in and out of psych wards, severely self harming and on over 20 psychiatric drugs. I left 5 months later, medication and self harm free and waking up grateful to be alive. Over 2 yrs later I work full time, my marriage is restored and I am a fully present, available mom to my two beautiful teenagers. The 12 Step programme and people/environment of the Cedars breathed life back into me. Seeing real people modelling possibility through their own recovery, gave me the spark of hope I needed to give my all to my time there. So grateful to all the staff and other people who were in treatment with me!
