The Living House Claimed

The Living House provides a world-class residential sober living program in Cape Town, operated by a four-phase program from two premises. We aim to be safe, affordable and supportive, enabling residents to endeavour the necessary life challenges needed for a successful, on-going, recovery lifestyle.

How many times does a person need to go to rehab?
We accommodate people from two weeks clean (Assessment dependant)
We also accommodate those returning from abroad, following a treatment process, and need a safe place to reside or integrate back into a once familiar recovery setting.

Our environment is also ideal for those engaging in a geographical move.
We pride ourselves in employing, top, qualified mental health care professionals.

I am eternally grateful for all the love, care and support shown to me by the guys at the living house. I've had a fantastic opportunity to make and bond with a new circle of friends in recovery who have supported me through this challenging process. Housemates who make me feel good about putting my recovery into action. Living the program has become fun and exciting and I have The Living House to thank! I spent 18 months in treatment before receiving help from the Living house and from here, I've been able to go out there into the real world and test the water, yet feel the safety net of returning home each day to the support of a recovery focused group of people. It's kept me on track long enough to learn how to cope with the outside world one day at a time and face the challenges as they arise. They say the real challenges lie in wait for a person only after leaving treatment and from past experience I have found that to be entirely true. Molehills quickly turn into mountains as seemingly small things become daunting. This has not been the case this time around. Finally I have found the opportunity to take things a day at a time and begin to try and reclaim the life that has been waiting for me outside of treatment. One which I can only hold onto if I learn properly how to grasp it and that is something the Living House has taught me how to do by providing me with the "training wheels" I need to take what I have learnt and practice it.
