About Liberty Home - Weltevreden Manor
Liberty Home is an upmarket clinic in Cape Town’s Marina Da Gama neighbourhood, offering affordable residential treatment for substance use and mental health issues. Founder Morgane, who overcame addiction, an eating disorder, and sexual trauma, uses her lived experience to help clients turn pain into purpose. With additional staff in recovery, a multilingual community (including Flemish, Afrikaans, Dutch, English, and French speakers), and a 12-Step foundation, Liberty Home offers structure, empathy, and long-term support.
Receive Balanced, Thorough Treatment
Liberty Home addresses the physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional aspects of recovery, blending therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) with yoga, meditation, and fitness to promote lasting growth and well-being. Each week, clients receive 2–3 hours of individual counselling to set goals, manage symptoms, and build coping strategies, along with 22 hours of group therapy, encouraging communal healing. The team supports neurodivergent clients, collaborating with the local neurodivergency center, and helps those with eating disorders maintain healthy routines and habits.
Strengthen Recovery with Family Involvement
Liberty Home believes in treating the environment, not just the individual—which includes involving loved ones. Families are educated on the recovery process and engaged through Zoom or in-person sessions. Those visiting South Africa may join up to 3–4 sessions in a week, while ongoing therapist access via email supports communication, connection, and accountability throughout treatment.
Feel at Ease in a Comfortable, Home-Like Setting
Liberty Home blends professional support with a warm, communal atmosphere near mountains, the beach, and a nature reserve. Clients share chef-made meals with staff, enjoy daily housekeeping, and stay in private or shared rooms within an upmarket thatched-roof manor. Internet is available during designated slots. Optional extras include a personal trainer or life coach.
