Addiction is a chronic, relapsing illness that intersects with numerous mental health difficulties (e.g. depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, ADD/ADHD and personality disorders). Addiction can also often be a symptom of unresolved and underlying trauma. Additionally, there are different types of addiction, each with their own subset of unique problems. Addiction is therefore a complex condition to treat.
This means that for people with addiction problems and their families, it can be very hard to know where to start the recovery journey or whose advice to trust.
CRA was founded to provide trusted advice to our clients, families and organisations, and to support them in finding the right help needed to achieve the sort of behavioural health solutions they have set out for themselves.
At CRA, our mission is therefore to draw on our extensive expertise to provide a world-class one-stop shop for anything and everything related to addiction, continuing care, recovery, behavioural health, trauma and co-occurring mental health disorders.
CRA was founded by Dr Cosmo Duff Gordon, who has worked in addiction and behavioural health for nearly 20 years. Dr Cosmo has led teams in South Africa and London, where he founded the globally benchmarked Start2Stop in 2010. Dr Cosmo has been a keynote speaker at international conferences in London and Paris, is a published author in the addiction recovery field and in the academic literature, and has been responsible for the care of over 2,500 clients – from 55+ countries — during the course of his career. This deep experience has allowed Dr Cosmo to create an international network of best-in-class therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, treatment centres and recovery coaches.
