About Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre
Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre is an exclusive, luxurious, registered rehabilitation and wellness center. Set in a tranquil garden with a sparkling swimming pool, clients are embraced and supported in a family-like atmosphere. Clients have access to Wi-Fi, Netflix, live sports, and DSTV Premium, as well as their cellphones, laptops, and other devices. Journey offers private treatment for men and women who are struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders like bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, burnout, eating disorders, and other addictive behaviors or psychiatric concerns.
Journey runs a non-punitive program, healing with compassion, care, and without judgment. Their program provides meaningful tips and personalized strategies for coping with cravings or dealing with thoughts of relapse, all of which can be applied to everyday life. Journey Recovery’s treatment program includes supervised medical detox, individual and group therapy, trauma counselling, inner-child work, solution focused therapy, self-esteem workshops, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), yoga and mindfulness, art therapy, pottery, Acu-Detox, and families and couple counselling.
Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre accepts a maximum of 20 clients, creating a 4:1 ratio of clients to clinical staff. Clients receive plentiful individualized care and attention, making them feel a sense of belonging that Journey believes is key to effective recovery. For clients that are coming from other countries, South Africa’s Rand exchange rate makes exceptional treatment available for a fraction of the price they will be paying back home.
Journey Recovery understands that different individuals have specific requirements, and they support clients that need to maintain work or study commitments during treatment. Cell phones and laptops are allowed to meet these needs. Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre is SANHA approved, and all food served is HALAL. Journey can accommodate other dietary needs too, like kosher, vegetarian, vegan, and food allergies. Their chef often uses ingredients from their organic vegetable garden. Clients will enjoy Journey’s outdoor lounge, games room, gym, and their art and pottery studio. Bedrooms at Journey Recovery are homely and spacious, and a cozy lounge allows for relaxing, socializing, and reading from their self-help library.

I highly recommend journey recovery and wellness centre. The counsellors are incredible as well the owners, Yonit and Clive, who are also extremely hands on with the patients. The counselling team is beyond knowledgeable about addiction. The staff are non judgmental and are nothing but supportive and compassionate - they welcome you with open arms and you feel like you’re apart of a family. The facility itself is a homely and comfortable environment. There is no better place to grow and recover

This Centre saved my life. I could not recommend a better place to start such a difficult yet so rewarding, life changing process and journey into a life of recovery. The staff here are like no other- they become like family. Every patient is treated according to a specialised, individualistic approach that the centre adopts therapeutically for each of their patients which is non punitive. Being an addict for many years and battling this terrible disease means I have seen my fair share of treatment centres, and I personally, firmly believe that you cannot punish “the addict” to recover. Journey for me was the only treatment facility that actually worked after more than a decade I suffered in active addiction . You feel cared for, safe and looked after throughout as they help guide you every step of the way during such a difficult process. Every need is catered for by the most amazing team and staff. I cannot thank the team and staff at Journey for helping me save my life!

This has been the best experience for my loved one. The setting is lovely and calm and accommodation sufficient and clean.I had difficulty with the initial period of limited communication between patient and loved one however, once the process was explained, everything fell into place.Provision is made for relaxed interaction with patients during visiting hours and firm control was exercised by staff to ensure that no illegal substances sneaked onto the premises.

What I liked the most was the loving and truly caring environment as well as counsellors that truly cared about me and my well being..... also counsellors that never for one day allowed me to bullshit myself(something that I did not like) but Clive and Yonit always laid it out straight to me and never beat around the bush with regards to my behavior, thought patterns, or me trying to give every excuse under the sun as to why I did what I did.
