Cherrywood House

Dialectical Behavioral ApproachSet in tranquil, semi-rural Cape Town, Cherrywood House supports clients in overcoming substance use by combining the principles of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with a strong focus on physical health. During their stay, clients work on transforming destructive behaviors and thought patterns while developing greater mindfulness and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Cherrywood House offers a range of evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, 12 Step meetings, and group therapy.Personalized TreatmentCherrywood House delivers highly personalized and comprehensive care, with a maximum of 18 residential clients at a time to ensure individual attention and support.

Clients benefit from world-class facilities offered at a more accessible cost compared to many international treatment centers. To support long-term recovery, every client receives a 12-month online aftercare programme, along with a 6-month online family support programme that begins while their loved one is still in treatment.Home-like Garden CampusOn its boutique, home-like campus, clients can enjoy Cherrywood House’s luxury facilities, including a swimming pool, spacious garden areas, outdoor lounge spaces, and comfortable shared rooms.
