Dear Everyone, Thank you for saving my life! I’m learning to breathe again. You have been an absolute star. I will try not to be impulsive.
Nestled beneath the majestic Helderberg Mountains in the Western Cape, our clinic offers expert, personalised substance abuse care in a peaceful, private setting.
You’ll feel supported, respected and understood from the moment you arrive.
Our Cape Dutch-style guesthouse isn’t just a facility, it’s a warm, welcoming space that feels like home. Surrounded by tranquil gardens, open lawns and serene nature, Rustenburg is designed to help you relax, reflect and recover.
We’ve reimagined what substance abuse treatment can look and feel like.
Led by Dr. Meyer, an internationally respected expert in substance abuse and addiction medicine, our professional team brings deep compassion, expertise and real results.
When you choose Rustenburg, you’re choosing a centre that puts your wellbeing, dignity and long-term addiction recovery first.
Substance abuse affects every person differently, so our approach is never one-size-fits-all. Our holistic, client-centred addiction treatment programmes are designed to understand the full picture of your life, not just the symptoms.
Whether you’re facing drug or alcohol dependence dual-diagnosis challenges, or emotional trauma, we meet you where you are and walk the road with you, every step of the way.
Our experienced team includes psychologists, substance abuse counsellors, occupational and specialist therapists and caring support staff. Together, we help you rebuild confidence, restore balance and rediscover purpose.
Just 25 minutes from Cape Town, Rustenburg’s historic estate is a hidden gem near Somerset West. Our five beautifully restored buildings are set among rolling lawns, peaceful pathways and a tranquil lake, offering a calm, therapeutic atmosphere for recovery.
Group therapy and sessions take place in our restored 19th-century Manor House, while individual counselling is held in the refurbished Old Cellar building overlooking the gardens.
We believe healing also happens around the dining room table. Our resident chef and kitchen team prepare daily home-style meals using fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
Every meal is served in a relaxed, communal space, helping you feel nourished, physically and emotionally.
Our shared bedrooms, each with a private or en-suite bathroom, are designed for rest and comfort. With space for just 30 clients, our environment stays personal, private and deeply supportive.
Sobriety shouldn’t feel like a restriction. Rustenburg makes recovery from substance abuse feel empowering. We help you develop healthy new habits, manage cravings, strengthen resilience and create a lifestyle that supports long-term success.
Whether you’re seeking help for the first time or returning to try again, Rustenburg offers a safe place to reset, reflect and rise.
Real recovery from substance abuse starts here.
We have helped thousands of people that felt helpless, just like you, to overcome their addiction and live the happy lives they deserve!
