I have been actively working in the industry since 2011, assisting in developing and running adolescent programs. Over the last six years, I have been working in an in-patient facility and subsequently graduated with a degree in social work. I have attended countless counselling courses and have over 300 hours of addiction specific courses.

Watching and supporting others overcome the highest odds I had to is my passion and why I wake up every morning. The New Day Rehab centre, in the south of Johannesburg, is where I focus my energies on the continuum of care with recovering addicts and hope to one day develop and grow a recovery community

Lionel Rodrigues

Addictions Counsellor

Higher Certificate in Counselling (SACAP)

I started working with recovering addicts in 2008 when I opened House on the Grove, a halfway house in Orange Grove. Fast forward a few years and New Day was born.

I provide counselling and personal experience expertise to the clients of New Day. I have completed multiple addiction counselling courses and attended the South African College of Applied Psychology where I received my higher certificate in counselling and apply this to each New Day patient.
