About Wellvale Recovery Centre
Located in a lush, rural part of South Africa, Wellvale Recovery helps adults recover from substance use. Addictions they treat including alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and crack cocaine, depressants, ecstasy, GHB, heroin, Mandrax and methaqualone, marijuana, methcathinone, methamphetamines, and other drugs.
They offer flexible stays with a 21-day regroup, a 3-month recommended programme, and long-term care lasting 6 months or more.
Wellvale Recovery combines evidence-based therapies with holistic support. Clients take part in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), group therapy, and mindfulness sessions to build lasting skills for recovery. The team recommends connecting with a higher power as part of healing, but they take a non-denominational approach that welcomes people of all beliefs.
Clients share comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms in a peaceful, homelike environment. Everyone receives balanced, nutritious meals with a set menu rather than customised diets. The centre offers walking trails, scenic views of sugar cane fields, and access to a nearby waterfall for outdoor relaxation. Wellvale Recovery also provides airport transport and travel support to other treatment centres.
Set near King Shaka International Airport, the centre stands out for its transportation to airports in several other cities like Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town.
