What Our Clients Say About Us
Real stories from men whose lives have been transformed
"My name is Lucky Montaung. I am 25 years old, and I am grateful to have completed my recovery programme at Sand River Recovery Centre. The most important reason I needed to change was simple: I wanted to stop breaking the hearts of the people I loved. Through my journey of recovery, I came to realise that my addiction had affected far more than just my own life."

"I went in and out of rehabilitation centres, but each time I returned home, I would relapse within a month. Then my sister took me to Sand River Recovery Centre, and that decision changed my life forever. What made this experience different was the Christian-based programme — it spoke not only to my addiction, but also to my faith and the values I believed in."
