Why Choose Serenity House?

There are so many reasons to opt for us

Location, Activities, Community, Treatment, Amenities, Cost and more...

Choosing the right location is crucial for creating an environment conducive to healing and lasting recovery. A serene, peaceful setting away from the stresses of everyday life allows residents to focus entirely on their treatment. Access to natural surroundings, such as the coast and mountains, can promote mental and emotional well-being. In addition, leaving behind a home life that may feature negative relationships or temptations to relapse can truly affect a person’s ability to embrace living a sober life.

Internationals

Having a fresh start in a different environment with different cultures and a moderate climate is a good way to open your mind to new possibilities and perspectives that can influence your life from now on.

Local is Lekker

People who currently live in the area may find it comforting to stay in familiar territory. They can enjoy being close to family and friends, and continue to participate in some sober-focused activities they already enjoy as well as work or studies.

Out of Towners

Many people from outside Cape Town are drawn to our beaches, nice weather and emphasis on outdoor activities. Often the change of scenery provides the strength necessary to return home with the ability to stay focused on the recovery process.

Treatment is affordable

Private clinics cost South Africa

Luxury treatment is no longer exclusive to the rich and famous. Compared to Dutch clinics for example, those in Cape Town and Johannesburg focus more on addressing the root causes of addiction, rather than just abstinence. International clients are often advised to come to Cape Town for top-tier treatment with minimal waiting times, and the favourable exchange rate makes it even more accessible. Most international health insurance policies reimburse between 75% and 100% of treatment costs, depending on the plan. It’s important to confirm coverage with your provider, as many policies fully cover clinical addiction care. If you’re not insured, clients are responsible for all expenses, including flights and visas, but we assist in coordinating everything as part of your treatment plan. While waiting times in the Netherlands can reach 3–4 months, in Cape Town, you could start your recovery journey within a few weeks.

Friendships and Close Bonds

Community is Key

The bonds formed in a rehab centre and sober living house often lead to lasting, inspirational friendships that continue well beyond a resident’s stay. A crucial aspect of recovery is "showing up for life," which means taking responsibility and doing the things that contribute to being a successful, active member of society.
Community is essential in early recovery, and living alongside others who share the same goals fosters accountability and support. In a sober living environment, you're surrounded by people who:
