SHEPHERDS FIELD KIBBUTZ

THE FOUNDERS OF SHEPHERDS FIELD: Gerrie Cronje is the founder and heart of Shepherd’s Field Rehabilitation Centre. Coming from a military background and many years service on the Provincial Substance Abuse Forum in Port Elizabeth he has always felt the calling to help those in need. As ordained pastor and a true follower of The Lord he has made a great impact on the lives of many people caught in the grip of addiction. His belief that all people, even those that society has rejected because of their addictions, are just as important as those referred to as “normal” in the eyes of society. This is only one example why he is such a special person. He believes in the greater good of all mankind and is a true humanitarian at heart. Giving someone a second chance and not judging any on past mistakes he provides patients with a father-figure that most of them have lacked in their lives. His honesty and commitment to patients, which he also affectionately refer to as his “children”, has seen many a tough guy/girl become the true man/woman they really are. Also sacrificing so many things for this calling which is Shepherd’s Field, he […]

The Centre Of Hope

At The Centre Of Hope, our program is all about getting back to basics. More often than not people that come from backgrounds of addiction or dysfunction have simply lost the ability to function normally within society. We try and teach our residents basic life skills through various therapeutic duties, such as making their beds, keeping their own area tidy, doing laundry, learning to cook as well as cooking meals, and the general upkeep of the Centre. Throughout the day there are classes where the residents are taught a number of different courses after that there are workstations where the residents are required to work around the Centre and farm. The residents are also taught how to deal with others in a sober manner, as well as how to deal with conflict situations. Every resident is required to write a life-story detailing events in their lives. This helps with identifying potential problem areas which can then be worked through during the counseling process. They are also required to keep a daily journal of their time spent here at the Centre. Church services are given every Sunday, as well as two Praise & Worship sessions a week. Residents are provided individual […]

We are so confident about our program that we will accept any person who subsequently relapses, back on to the program at no charge. This translates into a “Life Time Guarantee!” We hope that other rehabilitation centres will take the challenge and be bold enough to guarantee their product. Why long term treatment? To understand substance abuse one needs to understand why a person gets addicted, then once you understand this can you determine how to get a person out of addiction. Treating a person with a chemical substance abuse problem does not only involve keeping them substance free. It involves the gaining of insight into the severity of their problem and changing negative […]
