Our programmes
The Agape House
The Agape House is our primary care rehabilitation programme for individuals needing structured support for drug, alcohol or process-related addictions.
This one-month programme provides a balanced approach to recovery through counselling, group work, education, coping skills, emotional development, physical wellbeing and practical life skills.
The Agape House offers comfortable farm-based accommodation, peaceful gardens, a swimming pool, gym facilities and a caring team dedicated to supporting each resident through the early stages of recovery.
Medical aid is accepted for the first month of treatment. Cash patients are also welcome.
Harmony Halfway House
Harmony Halfway House is a longer-term, second-step programme for individuals who have completed treatment at The Agape House or another rehabilitation centre.
This programme provides a supportive bridge between rehabilitation and everyday life, helping residents strengthen their recovery through structure, accountability, life skills, counselling and community support.
