"Everyone who has completed our program is still alive"

“As the Co-founders and Directors of Bethesda Recovery Homes we warmly welcome you to our website, in the hope that you now find everything you are looking for within this context. Not many people visit our website when everything is going well in life; it is normally because of a growing crisis. Our hope for you now is, as you read our website you will feel a stirring in your heart that this is an authentic operation run by authentic people. We want you to know that our facility has been built upon and sustained by the drive for quality of influence an insistence upon individual integrity of every member of our team and the desire for freedom for everyone we work with.
The contents of this website are much more than a marketing tool, they are a direct overflow of our hearts, as legal professionals, as ex-addicts, as clinical therapists and most importantly, as parents of our own two young children. We believe experience can only really mean anything when it is applied from purity of motive, and that’s our assurance to you, if you’re dissatisfied with what we offer, you will be entitled to a refund. When your loved one arrives at our door, we treat them as we would want our loved ones to be treated, and that’s what makes Bethesda Bethesda”.
In 2007 we wrote; ‘Everyone Who Has Completed Our Programme is Still Alive’ on our website. Seven years on, we are not only still able to make that amazing claim, we can add to it: ‘because of an ever increasing appreciation of our reputation, we are receiving an ever increasing number of applicants for our programme, yet everyone who has completed our programme is still alive.
Enjoy the website and please feel free to contact either or both of us at any time”.

Bethesda’s Retreat is set in its own estate of gardens and forest, with space to walk or a swimming pool to relax by and, for that African feel, after a 10 minute walk you can view the elephants of Knysna’s Elephant Park.
