"IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD"
This old adage is the perfect description of Malachite House.
Together we can learn to thrive in recovery, not just survive.
Malachite House is a Halfway House and Reintegration Center for Addicts and Alcoholics in recovery.
Recovery isn't just about giving up alcohol or drugs—it's about creating a life worth living.
Rebuilding Lives. Strengthening Recovery.
​
Recovery doesn't end when treatment does - it begins.
​
At Malachite House, we provide far more than a place to stay. We offer a safe, structured recovery community where individuals can confidently transition from treatment back into everyday life.
​
Through accountability, connection, counselling, and practical life skills, we help our residents build lasting recovery—not just maintain sobriety.
​
Because recovery isn't just about giving up alcohol or drugs. It's about creating a life worth living.
More Than Just a Place to Stay
​
With this philosophy at the heart of everything we do, Malachite House offers beautiful, comfortable accommodation where residents have the opportunity to build one of the most important foundations of lasting recovery—meaningful human connection. We understand that isolation in early recovery can be one of the greatest threats to long-term sobriety, which is why community forms the cornerstone of our programme.
​
Our therapeutic environment is designed to support every stage of the recovery journey. We provide on-site individual counselling, group therapy, family support, and referrals to trusted healthcare professionals and specialists whenever additional care is needed.
​
While many of our residents join us after completing an inpatient treatment programme, this is not a requirement. Following a comprehensive assessment, we also welcome individuals who are ready to begin their recovery journey without prior inpatient treatment, ensuring they receive the level of care and support best suited to their individual circumstances.
Determination - Love - Transformation
THE
TEAM
At Malachite House, our dedicated team is committed to empowering residents to thrive throughout their recovery journey.
Our holistic approach equips residents with the practical tools, emotional support, and life skills needed to maintain lasting recovery and build meaningful, independent lives. Every aspect of our programme is focused on creating an environment where individuals can rediscover purpose, develop resilience, and realise their full potential.
At Malachite House, we believe that recovery is about far more than abstinence—it is about creating a life worth living. Together, we strive to ensure that every resident has the opportunity to thrive in recovery, not just survive.

Thrive in Recovery, Not Just Survive
OUR SERVICES
Halfway House
Halfway Houses have been around for decades. Traditionally they have functioned as a second thought following inpatient treatment. They have a reputation for being run down facilities where only the desperate will, or have to go. A Halfway House is one of the most misunderstood phases of addiction treatment but the concept has come in leap and bounds and this inspired me to open Malachite House.
We have discovered that Halfway Houses form a very important part of treatment because being clean and sober in an inpatient facility is easier than doing it alone. The challenge starts on day of discharge.
With this in mind Malachite House offers beautiful accommodation so that our clients have an opportunity to make that very important connection with other people. Isolation in early recovery is detrimental to the process.
We provide individual counselling on site, referrals to other professionals and group therapy.
We will admit people who have not been through an inpatient treatment programme after a thorough assessment process.
What we provide is a luxurious, beautifully situated safe space in a therapeutic environment.
Being in a Halfway House is about more than learning to respect rules and boundaries, it is about learning to walk again in real time, with real time problems and issues.
A Halfway House is about finding meaningful structure whilst learning to live again.
Everything you learned in primary inpatient treatment will be tested in this phase, so be prepared, be Honest, Open Minded and Willing!
Reintegration House
​
Our Reintegration House, while offering all the benefits of the Halfway House, offers additional support with a full day programme to assist our residents with 12 Step recovery, vocational guidance, skills developement and daily work tasks, thereby providing the necessary tools and skills to live a fulfilling and productive life in sobriety.
