Addiction
DR Rapiti’s passion to help people afflicted by addiction has been the catalyst for him to start and run a free support group, “4 Steps”, for the community of Mitchellls Plain, since 2010.
DR Rapiti is of the firm view that addiction is an illness of the mind, which cannot be cured by drugs. He helps individuals suffering from the disease with empathy to change their mindsets about addiction. He uses non-medical modalities like meditation, relaxation techniques and affirmations to fight the disease. He empowers his clients to fight their disease on their own.

He has written a simple self-help book, “4-Steps to healing”, which is available on Amazon, and from his surgery, to help addicts and their families to cope and overcome the disease without them having to rely entirely on professionals. He wrote the 4-Steps programme to help the masses of illiterate young substance users, who find the 12 step programme too complex to understand and to follow.
