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 disorders and mental health issues. Their programme includes specialised therapies, a 12-Step foundation, and follow-up support through reintegration and sober living options. Their staff are also in recovery, helping bridge the gap between treatment and real life with empathy, structure, and lived experience.
Receive Balanced, Thorough Treatment
Liberty Home focuses on holistic healing—treating the physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional aspects of recovery. Clients receive 2–3 hours of weekly individual counselling to set goals, manage symptoms, and build coping strategies. With 22 hours of group therapy per week, they gain belonging and communal support. Their programme blends evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) with complementary practices like yoga, meditation, and fitness to promote lasting growth and overall well-being.
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.

Her story is one of profound resilience, showing that healing is not only possible, but can become a force for change in the lives of others.
Rediscover Joy through Weekly Excursions
