Rehab in South Africa for UK Residents

Private residential rehab in South Africa costs far less than equivalent UK care, with no waiting list, at three centres in Cape Town and KwaZulu-Natal. Every programme includes medically supervised detox and an airport transfer. This page covers cost, travel and what to expect, so you can decide what's right for you or someone you love.

Why families choose treatment in South Africa

Cost is usually the first question, but families tell us these five things matter just as much.

Significantly lower cost

Our 28-day Standard programme is £6,999 and our 90-day Comprehensive programme is £12,999, both well under a single 28-day stay at several leading UK private clinics, which publish starting prices of £18,000 to £22,000.

No waiting list

Admission doesn't depend on a public waiting list, so once you've spoken with our team we can often agree a start date within days, not weeks or months.

Distance from triggers and old patterns

Being away from the people, places and routines connected to substance use gives many clients the space to focus fully on recovery.

Privacy and discretion

Your enquiry is only ever seen by our admissions team, and we never add you to a mailing list. Once in treatment, we only share information with family with the client's consent: nothing is shared outside the centre without it.

Quality residential care

Medically supervised detox, the same 12-step programme at every centre, and settings designed for calm, focused recovery.

How much does it cost?

Our Standard 28-day programme is £6,999 and our Comprehensive 90-day programme is £12,999, both well under a single 28-day stay at leading UK private clinics.

Getting there from the UK

Every programme includes an airport transfer. Here's how it works.

  1. Step 1

    Talk to our admissions team

    They'll listen, answer your questions and recommend a centre and programme. This is a confidential conversation, not a commitment.

  2. Step 2

    We help you plan

    We can put you in touch with a travel agent for flights and visas. That service isn't included in the programme price, but we make it easy to arrange.

    Every programme includes an airport transfer, whichever of our three centres you travel to.
