Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre Ballito provides residential care for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, burnout, and behavioural addictions. The registered treatment facility offers medical observation, trauma-informed therapy, and personalised support in a small-group setting of about 10 to 18 clients.

A Full Range of Compassionate, Quality Care

Their programme combines individual and group therapy with trauma counselling, inner-child work, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Acu-Detox, family and couples counselling, yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and self-esteem workshops. Clients also build practical strategies for managing cravings, relapse concerns, guilt, and shame.

Affordable and Personalised Treatment

After medical observation and residential treatment, clients can transition into sober living with daily group therapy and ongoing individual support in a substance-free environment. Outpatient care is also available through structured daytime groups. South Africa’s exchange rate may make private treatment more accessible for some international clients.

Recover in a Supportive and Comfortable Environment

Located in Ballito on South Africa’s Dolphin Coast, the centre offers shared and private spaces, halal meals, a small gym, communal areas with Wi-Fi and entertainment, and a rooftop pool with ocean views. Phone and laptop use is structured after an initial observation period, with individualised plans for work or study needs.
