About Anker Huis
Anker Huis is a boutique residential facility in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa specializing in the treatment of substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and process addictions. Their revolutionary approach to treatment aims at healing the root cause of addiction with compassion, hospitality, and understanding. Instead of asking the common question, “Why are you addicted?" Anker Huis focuses on asking their clients, "Why are you in pain?" This question, though difficult, is crucial in understanding the root cause of addiction. Only then can addiction be understood and, ultimately, treated.
Expert, Comprehensive Care
While immersed in the program, clients will engage in 1-on-1 counseling using cognitive behavioral methods as well as group therapy, mindfulness training, trauma-specific therapy, and the Minnesota Model when needed. In addition to therapy, Anker Huis and its prime location offers some of the most unique activity outings for their clients. Weekly outings and activities can include the Cheetah Outreach program, Table Mountain Cable Car, sandboarding, stand up paddle boarding, Robben Island visits, and more.

Mens and women's accommodations are located in separate buildings on the property, and clients will enjoy private or semi-private bedrooms. Georgian design is seen throughout the home with bespoke furniture and up-scale decor. The home comes equipped with spacious, comfortable lounge areas, perfect for relaxing in, and a billiards room for when clients wish to socialize.
