The first Cape Town Drug Counselling Centre was opened in 1985, so we have been around for a long time.

We are a place to talk about drugs.

In this website you will find:

• information about our programs – both treatment and training;
• information on drugs and their effects;
• stories from people about their experiences of drugs;
• statistics of the centre’s clients

Mission statement

Our mission is to provide effective, accessible and innovative treatment, prevention and training services that enable South Africans to respond appropriately to the challenges of substance abuse.

As a non-profit organisation in the Western Cape, we aim to lead by promoting an awareness and understanding of substance abuse as an issue that affects us all.
