About Us
We Are Intentionally Different
Instilling the belief that recovery is always possible, we weave our trio of core values
through our every interaction – a dedication to patient dignity, a commitment to
excellence, and a drive to treat all individuals exactly how we’d like to be treated. It’s
something we’ll never compromise on, carving a relaxed, welcoming environment, where
everybody can feel at home. We may be renowned for our world-class resources, premises.
and treatment options, but we believe that our team remains our great asset. Warm,
friendly, and empathetic, with a rich understanding of the complexities of addiction, we
bring Uganda’s leading addiction professionals under one roof. From psychologists to
psychiatrists, nurses to GPS, and speech therapists to social workers, we’ll come together
to guide you through your most difficult moments – judgement-free and reassuring. Put
simply; we don’t just want to nurture your healing journey. We want to delve into the root
of your addiction, safeguarding your future with vital coping mechanisms. We want to
make gentle, patient-centred mental health services accessible, showing you that you are
worthy of recovery. And crucially, we want to empower you to believe that you can recover.
