What we offer

Early Recovery can be a challenging time for many addicts and alcoholics. Often their entire lives had revolved around the getting and the using of drugs or alcohol. Faced with recovery and almost re-starting their lives from scratch, some find it hard to face life on life’s terms. On a daily basis they are faced with memories, triggers and feelings that are difficult to handle. Boredom and having nothing to do is often one of the biggest stumbling blocks Addicts and Alcoholics face. It is also a fact that Addicts and Alcoholics that leave treatment struggle to continue with their step work (12 Steps) or follow the suggestion that the programme has to offer, without proper assistance and guidance.

At Malachite House we offer Addicts and Alcoholics a safe place for each day of their journey in recovery, the tools to re-integrate into society, and the opportunity to share their experiences with other addicts in recovery. Our aim is to give the addicts and alcoholics a safe haven, and to give their families and loved ones peace of mind. Our aim is to assist with the "Basics" of Life.

​

The suggestion is to spend a minimum of 3 months in a Halfway House; we are aware that some people might not be able to commit themselves for that period of time, and therefor we do accept people for one month. We unfortunately cannot accept anyone for less than a month.
