RAMOT TREATMENT CENTRE
Rehabilitation Centre in Cape Town

Ramot was established in 1964, to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to individuals and families who are affected by drug and alcohol addiction. Ramot follows a multi-disciplinary drug and alcohol rehabilitation treatment programme, which is based on scientific research and implemented by specialist personnel trained in their respective fields. Our expertise comes from more than forty years of experience treating alcohol and drug addiction. Our patients are in good hands and surrounded by people who care. Our staff members feel they are called to profession; no one views it as just a job. Perhaps you realise you need rehabilitation for your own drug or alcohol addiction.
