Ocean Bay Recovery - Addiction Treatment Centre

Ocean Bay Recovery is a boutique seaside addiction treatment centre at 6 Diana Crescent in Sea Vista, St Francis Bay, Eastern Cape. The setting is a homely, beach-house-inspired property positioned close to the Indian Ocean, creating a calm residential environment for people seeking structured support with addiction and related mental health conditions.

The centre provides an eight-bed residential programme alongside non-residential outpatient care. Treatment is designed around individual needs and follows a personalised continuum of support that considers the physical, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of recovery. The approach combines evidence-based clinical care with therapeutic and wellness practices, including cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and trauma-informed care.

Ocean Bay Recovery supports people at different points in the treatment process. On-site sub-acute detoxification is medically managed by a physician and full-time nurses for initial stabilisation, while off-site detoxification is available when more intensive medical care is required. The centre also provides ongoing support beyond primary treatment through secondary care and outpatient options, allowing the level of care to be matched to each client’s circumstances.

Nature and the coastal setting are part of the centre’s therapeutic character. A path known as Ocean Way leads through a nature reserve to the beach, approximately 100 metres away. Morning and evening walks provide opportunities for sea air, swimming, quiet time on the sand and connection with the surrounding landscape. This regular access to the coast complements the centre’s broader focus on holistic wellbeing.

The atmosphere is residential, personal and supportive rather than institutional. The small capacity allows care to be centred on individual recovery plans, while collaboration with families, loved ones and referral partners supports continuity before admission and after discharge. International clients can also receive assistance with travel arrangements and airport transfers, including collection from Nelson Mandela Bay Airport. Ocean Bay Recovery is suited to people looking for a private treatment setting with residential, outpatient and medically supported recovery pathways in a coastal South African town.
