Professional addiction counseling

  • Since its establishment in 2012, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals ICAPT Centre has specialized in dealing with various addiction problems, such as internet addiction, excessive consumption, sexual addiction, gambling addiction, etc., accumulating rich local experience in counseling addicted individuals and supporting their families. Over the years, we have conducted continuous evidence-based research on addiction counseling, setting the service level standards for Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region.

Continuous innovation, Providing diverse counseling interventions

  • In addiction case services, the ICAPT Centre has established different counseling approaches to meet the needs of help-seekers, including the use of Single Session Therapy, video counseling, and online self-help counseling programs. In recent years, we have introduced mindfulness therapy, exercise intervention, and expressive arts therapy, among other approaches, to diversify our support for addicted individuals and caregivers to rebuild healthy lives.
