Amazing location, amazing councillors good food but so inconsistent on what they have in stock. Trying to do music therapy through the sound of lawn mowers and machinery is not easy (despite an amazing music therapist!) Constant cleaners coming in and out of your room and lots of things that disrupt your peace and quiet to get on with your work. Maintanance and Gardner's constantly around the place is a shame because it's a beautiful place with amazing people. Don't expect it to be as non religious as they say either!! And a nurse assistant who doesn't know what an anti histamine is! (Although the main nurse is fantastic)
I've been working in the addiction treatment space for over 5 years and recently visited White River Manor for a few days. The treatment program, the beautiful location, top-notch service, and caring professional staff make White River Manor one of the best options for addiction treatment out there, whether you live in South Africa or anywhere else in the world.
