Why Cape Town and Kortrijk are Ideal for Secondary Care Centres

When it comes to secondary care facilities, the setting and environment play a pivotal role in the recovery process. Two cities stand out in this regard – Cape Town, South Africa, and Kortrijk, Belgium. These two cities not only provide breathtaking natural beauty but also offer environments conducive to healing and recovery. Let’s explore why:

Cape Town: Embracing nature in secondary care

  • An ideal climate for recovery: Cape Town, with its temperate climate, acts as a natural healer. The city’s warm summers and mild winters are ideal for those transitioning from primary to secondary care. 
  • Diverse natural beauty: From majestic mountains to pristine beaches, Cape Town’s landscapes serve as a therapeutic backdrop. Whether you’re taking a walk along its sandy shores or gazing at Table Mountain, nature’s beauty offers constant reassurance and hope.
  • Away from the noise: Despite being a bustling city, Cape Town has numerous tranquil spots. In its peaceful setting, Liberty Home’s secondary care ensures residents can focus solely on recovery, away from the noise. 
  • Proven track record: Liberty Home in Cape Town has shown that a serene environment, coupled with expert support, can significantly minimise addiction triggers, leading to better long-term recovery.

  • A breath of fresh European air: Located in Belgium, Kortrijk boasts a climate that’s gentle on the senses, making it an ideal place for rejuvenation.
  • Picturesque parks and landscapes: The city’s beautiful parks and landscapes provide the perfect setting for reflection and therapeutic outdoor activities, enhancing the secondary care sober living experience.
  • A quiet escape: Kortrijk’s serene setting is an escape from the daily grind. At Liberty Home, residents can immerse themselves in an environment of calm, which is often essential for effective recovery.

Shared philosophy: The Liberty Home approach

Both these cities, while geographically distant, share a common thread in Liberty Home’s philosophy:

  • Acknowledging the past: One of the core principles of Liberty Home’s secondary care facility is to confront and move past denial. Whether in Cape Town or Kortrijk, this step remains crucial.
