Tiglin strives to help the whole person, not just the substance abuse. Our approach is to teach a whole new way of living by addressing family relationships, work attitudes, self image, peer pressure, addiction and its causes, community relationships as well as a variety of other life skills.
Our Programme offers 24-hour care by trained employees, including psychologist and counsellors. This community and family environment ensures an atmosphere of warmth, trust and support for the students as they complete our 5-phase programme. The programme is drug free, non-smoking and 16 month residential. Entry is by interview and medical clearance by the programme’s Medical Director.
The student is tutored in developing positive attitudes, trustworthiness, concern for others and a strong sense of personal and social responsibility.
