Freeman House Recovery

Consistently praised on Google for their transformative results, Freeman House Recovery immerses clients fully in recovery from substance use—including ketamine addiction—as well as self-destructive behaviours like gambling, gaming, shopping, and workaholism. From their upscale lodge an hour from Johannesburg, they provide 35+-day programmes that include medically supervised detox, clinical excellence, luxurious accommodations, and unique therapeutic experiences at a fraction of the cost of comparable U.S. and European programmes.

Learn to Manage Thoughts, Emotions & Behaviours

At Freeman House, the recovery journey focuses on positive self-development, helping clients take responsibility for their choices, prepare to face challenges, and set growth goals. Clients engage in twice-weekly individual sessions and twice-daily group sessions that integrate cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), family sessions, and trauma counselling to address both addiction and underlying mental health conditions. Programmes also incorporate vitamin infusion therapy, martial arts, physiotherapy, art, woodworking, gardening and birdwatching.

Boost Well-Being with Comfort and Privacy

Freeman House Recovery offers private and shared rooms with comfortable beds, some with balconies and spectacular views. Men and women are housed separately, and the lodge features 24-hour security. Clients enjoy gourmet meals, tranquil gardens, a pool, gym, sauna and cold plunge, and BBQ area. Cell phone use is permitted twice weekly (three times for foreigners), with accommodations available for clients needing additional phone access for work-related responsibilities.

Transition Home with Full Support

After clients receive treatment in South Africa, Freeman House supports them with aftercare closer to home. Clients continue meeting virtually with their primary Freeman House clinician during the transition, while Freeman House coordinates preferred providers in their home countries for outpatient care, sober living, and case management. Freeman House also offers a two-week job-hunt bootcamp to ensure each client is equipped for the best chance at a new life.
