Best Drug Rehab In South Africa
1. Houghton House Addiction Recovery Center GAUTENG- A professional center, this drug rehab is the real thing. It’s super professional and runs like a clinic.
2. Recovery Centre at White River – The center seems a little out of the way, but it’s only a couple of hours out of Joburg and seems like it’s worth the travel.
It is quite a big center, located in a bush-like setting out of town, and makes you feel as if you’re in the Kruger Park on Safari.
3. Harmony CAPE PROVINCE – known as a compassionate and caring bunch of people. They offer holistic therapy for substance abuse that helps people to rebuild their lives and return home to their loved ones.
4. Pathways Addiction Treatment Program CAPE PROVINCE – this is our very own drug rehab program. It makes it on the list because it is one of a kind, experiential treatment program in South Africa.
5. Healing Wings Youth Drug Rehab Centre NELSPRUIT – Healing Wings makes it on the list because of its mammoth youth rehabilitation center. It’s massive.
They are the only center in South Africa that combines treatment and schooling for the youth in one location.
6. The Cedars Drug Rehab Centre NATAL – A pretty hardcore program according to some people. They set you straight is what we hear, and they do it fast! I’ve spoken to many of their ex-clients over the years and just never seem to get any complaints about this rehab.
