The Serenity Model of Rehabilitation has now completed its compendium of products that can be used as solutions in addiction and co-morbid treatment. This makes it the first fully private comprehensive addiction treatment model that caters for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention in South Africa and probably the world. Primary prevention focuses on developing
resilient emotional health before addiction sets in; secondary prevention focuses on office or hospital based treatment of the medical and psychiatric complications of addiction; and
tertiary prevention is focused on preventing chronic
complications eg. Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of
dementia and pyschoses.
