"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.
​
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 the most 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.
An important part of recovery is connection. Please take time to watch these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY9DcIMGxMs; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3ElVnmDaIY
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!

The Malachite Stone
"As a stone of transformation, malachite helps with spiritual evolution. Meditation or intentional use of this stone in spiritual practices can bring along heightened and pervasive spiritual growth. This releases energy blockages formed in the mind / body / spirit that have been entangled with the lessons of growth. This spiritual growth and evolution brings wisdom as it progresses."
