A few real reasons people come here — and stay
We know it’s not easy reaching out for help. Maybe you’ve tried before. Maybe this is your first time. Either way, you deserve to feel safe, supported, and cared for while you figure things out. You can call us on +27 87 250 2843 or email us at booking@whiteriverrecovery.co.za to find out more. Here’s what people say they value most about being here.
Getting help shouldn’t come at an impossible cost. Our programme is one of the most affordable in South Africa, and we work with most medical aid plans. If you’re not sure what’s covered, we’ll help you check. We’ll always try to make it easier, not harder, to get the help you need.
Some of us have been through recovery ourselves. We know what it’s like to hit a low point and to wonder if things can really change. That’s why we do this work. No one here is going to judge you. You’ll be met with kindness and real support from people who understand what this path can look like.
We take time to get to know you. What’s been happening in your life, what’s been hard, what’s worked before, and what hasn’t. We don’t follow a script. We put together a plan that makes sense for you and where you’re at right now.
Our centre is out in the famous Lowveld scenery of northern South Africa, is on the outskirts of Kruger National Park, surrounded by trees and open space. It’s peaceful, and that peace matters. Being away from everyday noise and pressure gives you space to breathe and focus on yourself, maybe for the first time in a long while.
Addiction affects more than just the body. It impacts how you think, how you feel, how you relate to others. That’s why we work with all of it. We’ll help you unpack what’s going on underneath, and figure out new ways to cope — not just while you’re here, but once you go home too.
What matters most to us is how people feel when they’re here. You’ll be treated kindly. You’ll be listened to. No one’s going to look down on you or tell you who you should be. We’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you find your way forward.
If you’re thinking about reaching out
You don’t have to have everything sorted out before you call. You don’t need a plan. You just need to take the first step. If you’re unsure what that looks like, we can talk it through. No pressure. Just a real conversation. You can call us on +27 87 250 2843 or email us at booking@whiteriverrecovery.co.za.
