MUDITA CARA LEVELS OF CARE

We offer our clients a continuum of care which means they can stay with us throughout their full treatment process from primary residential treatment all the way to their reintegration stage. Having access to the same therapeutic team has been shown to be beneficial to treatment due to the levels of trust that are built with their treatment team.

About Us

Mudita Cara was founded in 2017 by Jaco Coetzee. Jaco can empathize with the suffering of people in active addiction through his own journey from active addiction to recovery.

Jaco got clean 7 years ago and continues to live a life of recovery and integrity. He is an inspiration to all the people he comes across by telling his story.

Mudita Cara offers a safe, ethical and compassionate space for our clients to recover.

Opening our addiction treatment center not only reduced harm in the life of the clients suffering from substance use disorder but also in the lives of their families.

Our philosophy is centered in unconditional positive regard for all our clients
that come through our doors and allowing them freedom to be human again.

“At Mudita Cara, you matter and your story matters!”

PEER DRIVEN PSYCHOTHERAPY

This therapy is a humanistic, holistic, person-centered form of psychotherapy and is focused on a person’s present life and challenges rather than delving into past experiences.

This approach stresses the importance of understanding the context of a person’s life and taking responsibility rather than placing blame.

The unfolding of the psychotherapeutic relationship is considered to proceed in four main stages: commitment, process, change and termination.

Each stage has its own tasks and sub-stages that must be reasonably completed before transition to the next phase of treatment.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

Counseling allows individuals to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors through challenging and identifying aspects of their lives that they would like to change. This process assists them to better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.

Having this individual attention from our dedicated counselors will improve their communication and interpersonal skills. They also work on the following: Greater self- acceptance and self-esteem, ability to change, self-defeating behaviors/habits, better expression and management of emotions including anger, relief from depression anxiety and any other mental health conditions

FAMILY COMMUNICATION & REINTEGRATION

Our counsellors stay connected with our clients’ loved ones and family members. The client’s focal counsellor will send the family members updated feedback on the client on a weekly basis.

Substance use disorder affects all areas of the client’s life and those close to them. The most affected by this, is the immediate family structure.

When families lose trust, it is difficult for them to manage the functionality of their relationship.

We aim to foster honest and healthy communication within the family structure, by including them in the client’s treatment process.

Family reintegration and communication is very important for the family’s healing process. We have family sessions to discuss treatment tracking feedback and reintegration back into the family.

TREATMENT PLANNING AND TRACKING

Our philosophy is that “no two people are the same” which means we see our clients as individuals and create treatment plans according to their individual needs and circumstances. We use therapeutic tools best suited for the individual.

We use the above treatment timeline and client centered treatment goals in our family meeting to share with the family how the client is progressing through their treatment process whilst at Mudita Cara.
