Changing Lives Since 1995 Houghton House provides a second chance at life. Regarded as the top private rehabilitation centre in Johannesburg, we offer the full spectrum of treatment for all addictive disorders and associated problems. Our treatment programmes begin with a comprehensive assessment of the patient's needs. We offer short- and long-term residential treatment, outpatient services, ongoing aftercare, relapse prevention as well as halfway house accommodation (sober living options) . We operate on the belief that alcoholism / addiction are a recognised and diagnosable disease, not a moral failing. As such, we strive to create an environment where our patients feel respected and their dignity can be restored. Comprehensive Assessment Before our patients embark on any treatment programme, they undergo a comprehensive professional assessment by one of our experienced clinical team, in order that their recommended treatment programme meets the patient's requirements.

The addiction action campaign is the most informative website in South Africa on all the issues relating to addiction and compulsive behaviours like gambling, sex, food, spending and pornography ETC.
