Life has its ups and downs, and many people have experienced a lot of those downs. For some, their life went downhill after suffering a heavy addiction to vices such as drugs, alcohol, and the likes.
In the 1980s, Switzerland experienced a rise to heroin use. However, instead of punishing these users by jail time, they gave proper treatment and care to them. This led to lower crime rates and higher employment rates.
Which is why rehabilitation centers are very important in our society. A famous example here in Cebu is Roberto Anova Plando, more commonly known as Berta. He was a street dweller who suffered in his drug addiction but was helped by a rehabilitation center and the people who cared for him. That is why we need to give recognition to the centers here in Cebu for their work in making people’s lives better.
1. Safehaven Addiction Treatment and Recovery Village
Safehaven Addiction Treatment and Recovery Village is the rehabilitation center that treated Berta to who he is now. Their center contains proper bedrooms, gym equipment, and even a pool. They have many activities including but not limited to Psychosocial treatment, anxiety/depression recovery sessions, and more.

I’ve been with the NA (Narcotics Anonymous) Program since 2012 but I relapsed in February of 2023. May Relatives looked for a Rehabilitation Center in Cebu that has high recovery rate and enforcing the 12 steps of recovery. They along with my Recovery groups sponsors chose Solace Drug Rehabilitation Center in Lapu-Lapu. I heard it is most recommended in most recovering addicts and alcoholic in Cebu. Pretty awesome if you ask me as they not only helped the recovery of many addicts but they’ve also assisted in their livelihood after re-entry.
