Grounded in Support Growing in Sobriety

About Roots to Recovery

Roots to Recovery is not merely a halfway house; it is a high-performance bridge between clinical rehabilitation and a flourishing independent life. Modelled on holistic development principles, we focus on the "whole person."

We provide a safe, substance-free environment where individuals can navigate the early stages of sobriety with dignity and peer support. Our home offers the stability needed to pause, reflect, and rebuild, ensuring that residents are never alone as they transition back into the responsibilities of everyday life.

Sowing the Seeds of Change

True transformation is a process of cultivation. Just as a plant requires fertile soil and constant care to thrive, recovery requires an environment that nurtures growth.

At Roots to Recovery, we help residents "sow the seeds" of a new life by instilling healthy habits, life skills, and a renewed sense of purpose. We are dedicated to helping every individual grow through their challenges so they can eventually leave our care rooted in strength and ready to flourish.

The House

Tucked away in one of Benoni’s quietest neighborhoods, Roots to Recovery feels less like a facility and more like a retreat. The property provides ample space to breathe, reflect, and disconnect from the stressors of the outside world.

Here, amidst the peaceful surroundings of Norton’s Home Estates, residents find the calm necessary to focus entirely on their journey home to themselves.

We boast an array of rooms including private, semi-private and dorm-style accommodations.

To support daily wellbeing and healthy routines, residents are provided with three wholesome and nutritious meals each day, ensuring consistent nourishment as part of a balanced recovery environment.

The facility’s amenities include:

- Swimming pool

- Pool Table

- Outdoor braai area

- Gym

- Wifi

- 2 lounges

- Workshop

- Laundry room

- Fully equipped kitchen
