Tharagay House is an addictions extended care facility specialising in the treatment of drug addiction, alcoholism, anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating. Our approach is holistic and thus meets the needs of all subsidiary addictions including gambling and sex addiction.

We are a residential facility focusing on clients who have already detoxified and are needing longer care to facilitate the transition from early recovery to long term changes. Our addiction treatment programme is unique in that it caters for residents who are both employed and for those still needing direction.

We provide the opportunity to practise new skills in a safe and nurturing environment.

Tharagay House was established in 1995 and was named in memory of a young woman who died from her addiction. We are the oldest and most experienced secondary care treatment facility in Cape Town.

Our African clients come from as far as Johannesburg and Nairobi. The Rand's low currency exchange rate – as well as a solid reputation – has made Tharagay House the popular choice for addicts in the UK and Netherlands.

We are situated in Kenilworth, Cape Town in South Africa, a minute's walk from the station with easy access to all areas. A 20 bed facility, our emphasis is on creating an environment which simulates life as closely as possible and one in which our clients can practise healthy ways of dealing with their feelings and experiences. We have a proven track record maintaining an above average recovery rate.
