Beyond (Online Outpatient Programme)Our Addiction Treatment Programmes
Liberty Home Group offers two distinct treatment options: Primary Care and Secondary Care. Depending on your needs and circumstances, we provide different approaches to recovery to ensure our patients receive the utmost care and attention.
Sober Living and Reintegration Programme
Many people have succeeded with our reintegration programme at our halfway sober living house, and so can you! We provide a safe place for those who have completed primary treatment and are not quite ready to go back into the world on their own. Sober living is a treatment programme
...
to help those in recovery sustain their sobriety.
Immediate recovery is not always achievable after primary treatment and rehabilitation; that’s why we offer a secondary care programme that helps our patients learn to cope independently in the outside world as sober individuals. This is accomplished by teaching the necessary coping mechanisms in a calm and safe environment.
Our facility in Cape Town provides weekly therapy sessions and support from a recovery community. We offer tools and opportunities to develop a volunteer job, a hobby, or a vocation while maintaining sober living habits. This is strictly supervised and approved by the therapeutic team.

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation facility in South Africa focuses on primary care. Our rehab programme is designed to help those suffering from addiction through a range of therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. While we don't provide a medical detox onsite, we work closely
...
with institutions that can assist in the detox process.
Through both evidence-based and holistic addiction treatment, patients can expect to receive 2-3 therapy sessions from our counsellors every week, where they will develop new coping strategies and understand how to deal with addiction recovery. Our residential rehab programme can last anywhere between 28 days to 8 weeks, depending on the severity of the mental health condition or substance abuse disorder.
Our staff are all in recovery, so they know exactly what our patients are going through. They are available 24/7 and can administer medication to those who require it during their stay at our rehab. Once the patient has completed their residential addiction treatment, they have the option to transition into our sober living and reintegration programme.

One of the significant advantages of choosing rehab in South Africa is the geographical distance from your usual environment and its associated triggers.

This separation provides a fresh start, free from the distractions and pressures that may have hindered your progress in the past. It gives you the space and peace needed to rebuild your life and develop healthier habits.

Testimonials
Posted on Courtney GessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Liberty Secondary Care quite literally helped save my life. I attribute so much of my own growth in my recovery journey, to Liberty. When I arrived, I was clean but emotionally fragile and still caught in the thinking patterns that had fuelled my addiction. Liberty gave me far more than a place to stay. It gave me structure, accountability, dignity and a true sense of belonging. What makes Liberty exceptional is its staff. During some of my most turbulent and trying times, they stood steady and with so much consideration. They held faith in me when I did not believe in myself at all. Their consistency, patience and compassion carried me through moments when I felt overwhelmed, ashamed or unsure that I could continue. I was never treated as a problem to be fixed, but as a person worthy of care and recovery. The therapeutic support went deeper than abstinence. I was encouraged to look at my inner critic, my control patterns and the fears underneath my behaviours. I learned how to live in recovery and was encouraged to figure out what it is I enjoy, not just how to avoid relapse. I am lucky to share that I was a client at both the Secondary and Sober Living. I would not have made it in my journey had I not been at Liberty for those several months. There is a rare balance at Liberty of warmth and accountability. I was challenged to grow and supported when I struggled. That balance changed me. Today I feel more grounded, more responsible and more connected to my life, more than ever before. Liberty did not just help me stay clean. It helped me build the necessary foundations of a life worth staying clean for. I will always be deeply grateful.Posted on Louis HuygensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un établissement qui a réellement changé un tournant de ma vie. L’équipe est professionnelle, humaine et toujours à l’écoute. On se sent soutenu du début à la fin, sans jugement. Le programme est sérieux et m’a permis de me reconstruire et de repartir sur de bonnes bases. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour votre accompagnement. Je recommande sincèrement.Posted on ZannyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s very difficult to put words down to describe my experience at liberty home. I arrived there after five months in two different rehabs north of Cape Town in Plettenberg bay. I stayed with Liberty for 7 months in both primary care and secondary. Liberty home is like no other place. It was my family. It helped me grow in ways I didn’t think were possible. If you’re looking for a place that understands the complexities of dual diagnosis and the intersection of trauma and addiction this is it. Unlike my previous rehabs they understood and worked with neurodiversity which was an integral part of understanding my behaviour and learning how to cope with every day life. They supported me through my journey of self discovery and provided a safe space whilst I recovered from a very difficult time in my life. The location is perfect for those wanting to reconnect and recover a healthy lifestyle. Libertys programme includes a wide range of groups and activities to promote wellbeing and a sense of community. The house is warm and welcoming and quickly feels like home. The staff care more than anything and the relationships I built there will stay close to my heart. I could not recommend a better place of care, love and support to anyone. I can’t add any pictures for confidentiality, but one picture is taken from the sundeck at liberty home and the others are from the morning walk and trips to the beach down the road.Posted on Granville WestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stayed at liberty home for 10 weeks and had an incredible experience. From the staff, the accommodation, the food, everything was excellent, an overall 10/10 life changing few weeks.Posted on Nicolas RobertsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My life seemed totally lost, I was living life in the horror and despair of active addiction and I accepted that my life would be like this until the day I died, a day that was inevitable. But not anymore :) Just for Today, thanks to Liberty Home Addiction Care, through their kindness, love, warmth, laughter, tears, acceptance, understanding, more laughter, I have lost the obsession to use and have been given the tools to live life, on life's terms, following the 12 Steps, living one day at a time, with happiness and hope. And even more laughter... :) Thank you Liberty, I love you all.

Thank you so much for trusting us with your journey, Nic. Reading this reminds us why we do what we do. Your courage, honesty, and willingness to show up one day at a time is what makes real change possible. We’re deeply grateful to have walked alongside you and to see the hope and laughter return. Keep going, you’re doing the work, and it shows. With love, The Liberty Home Team ❤️Posted on Theresa van wykTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My journey started with Liberty Home Clinic – although I was not admitted to Liberty (fully booked) – I spoke to one of your staff members with the most calming voice – a stranger, that held my hand and kept in contact with me until I found a place of safety. You meant the world to me in my time of need. This is for you 😊 my journey to the clinic you arranged and my journey to recovery. I hope one day I can return the favour. Twee rooi tasse, volgepak. My kar en ek. Die GPS het gesê 34 minute, maar ons het eerder kronkelpaaie gekies, doodloopstrate besoek. Toe my moed wou ingee, het Gloria Gaynor die speakers oorgeneem: “Did you think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive. Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive. I've got my life to live, and all my love to give. And I will survive.” Ontbyt met harde eiers, plastiek tafel doeke, onbekende gesigte. Onvertelde stories, gebroke vlerke, nuwe drome, belly laughs, verlore pool games. Kunsklasse sonder reëls. ’n Joodse dokter met oë vol wysheid – wat se Ëk sien jou. “ Martin, my out of the box siels kunstenaar, wat lang gesprekke opgebreek het totdat ek weer kon asemhaal. Tot trane opgedroog het en my oë weer beauty kon sien. Vyf onvergeetlike dae: hoop, en ongevraagde liefde van 22 onbekende individue wat vriende geword het. ’n Hardeband-boek wat ons saam geskryf het. Die titel: ”No, not I, I will survive”.

What once seemed hopeless has been transformed into a new beginning thanks to the dedication and belief in me. I've now been sober for 435 days and feel stronger, clearer, and reconnected with myself and life. You saved not only my health, but also my future, my relationships, and my self-respect. Thank you! Every day gets better!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we absolutely do. UK clients regularly travel to our Cape Town rehab for high-quality, cost-effective treatment. We handle pre-admission checks, flight timing, airport pickup at Cape Town International (CPT), and UK-friendly aftercare so support continues when you return home.
Cape Town offers evidence-based care in a focused setting at significantly more accessible prices than many UK private clinics. The distance from triggers helps, and we bridge the return home with structured UK aftercare and time-zone-friendly sessions.
We’re in Cape Town in a safe, residential setting with airport pickup from CPT and transport to the facility. You’ll receive clear arrival instructions, packing guidance, and a named contact for travel support before you fly.
Admission is fast. After a confidential assessment we confirm suitability and give you a start date—often within days. For UK clients, we align flights and airport pickup; for locals, we can coordinate same-week admissions when clinically appropriate.
Yes. We serve Cape Town and Western Cape residents and also welcome clients from the rest of South Africa, the UK, Netherlands, and any other part of the world. Local clients benefit from proximity to family; international clients get a focused environment with seamless aftercare on return.
Some substances (alcohol, benzodiazepines, heavy opioids) require a medically supervised detox for safety. We’ll screen you and coordinate detox locally in Cape Town or with approved providers near you in the UK or your home country before you enter residential care.
Primary care typically lasts 28–56 days; some clients benefit from a longer stay or step-down support. Length is reviewed weekly with you and set by clinical need, progress, risk factors, and the supports you’ll have at home.
Pricing depends on length of stay and room type. We provide transparent packages in ZAR, EUR, and GBP with what’s included (therapy, accommodation, meals, program transport) and payment options. Ask for a personalised quote with today’s GBP estimate.
We treat alcohol and drug addictions (opioids, benzos, cocaine, meth, cannabis) and process addictions, alongside co-occurring issues such as anxiety, depression and trauma/PTSD. Plans are tailored after assessment by our multidisciplinary team.
Care blends group therapy, 1:1 counselling, CBT/DBT skills, motivational interviewing, relapse-prevention, psychoeducation, family work and wellness. Psychiatric review and medication management are included where clinically indicated.
Yes, with your consent we schedule updates, education groups and therapist-led family sessions (in person or online). We teach boundaries, relapse warning signs and how loved ones can support your plan during aftercare in South Africa, Europe, or the UK.
