Leading in Recovery for the past 10 years

Willingness is the first step to recovery

Our Approach

We believe that each individuals choice and free will is to be respected and our beliefs will not be used to indoctrinate those in our care. Faith and spiritual growth is a deeply personal matter and when required we will respect each individuals choice by focusing all counselling on the principles within the 12 step programme

12 Steps

It is proven that the 12 Step Programme stemming from the AA & NA is an effective tool for empowering those on the road to recovery in discovering how their lives have been shaped by the relationships they have experienced.

Social Empowerment

This approach focuses on the individuals needs and allows the team the ability to create a specific approach or individual treatment programme for each resident focusing on their specific needs.



Skills Development

At Anchor Ranch we provide additional skills development which sets us apart from other facilities. We equip our male and female residence with a variety of skills including woodwork, steelwork, clothes design etc

Anchor Ranch’s commitment is to walk alongside those in our care who have realized they cannot cope with their addictions and are ready to seek help. As part of our mission, we cultivate a safe and nurturing environment designed to empower each individual to break free from addiction and the destructive behaviours that accompany it, enabling them to live lives filled with PURPOSE, MEANING, and FREEDOM.Anchor Ranch’s commitment is to walk alongside those in our care who have realized they cannot cope with their addictions and are ready to seek help.

Testimonials

“My story of gratitude and the healing road of my daughter and myself commenced when she went to Anchor Ranch.
I was co-dependant and I questioned the firmness
and length of the programme.
I concluded that her recovery was long but could NOT ever have been shorter. Today my daughter has blossomed into a disciplined, hardworking, conscientious, God fearing, honest, dedicated, clear thinking, loving, caring young adult
and the list can go on. I thank the Lord for these people that only have one thing at heart and this is the full recovery of our loved ones, not just physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually too. The support even I as the affected person received from the people of Anchor has often exceeded all expectations.”

Mother Sue

“For many years I was self-centred and a egotistic brat that truly believed the world and everyone on it owed me something.
Everything I did had a motive behind it and to me life was just one big fight; seeing how I can do people in, in order to get what I wanted.
When I went to Anchor it took me a while to fully grasp the importance of discipline. I learnt that discipline shows in the smallest things like brushing your teeth, in how you make your bed or clean and pack your cupboard. At Anchor I also learnt how to feel and express my emotions, something I still struggle with but can now acknowledge when I’m feeling a certain way. One thing I’m tremendously grateful for is that I feel Anchor Ranch taught me how to stand on my own two feet. I learnt that every action has a consequence. ”

Tehila

“I was physically and emotionally drained when I went to Anchor. I had a victim mentality and blamed my family and everyone else for all my problems. I did not want to be at Anchor but as time went on Anchor taught me about all the different defects I had adopted as defence mechanisms, ways of avoiding pain and emotions and numbing tactics. Anchor provided a barrier, a kind yet firm safety net. They guided me through these feelings with prayer and counselling and helped me identify what I was feeling which was hopeless, alone and lost. They taught me to look to God and not people for hope. They taught me that in Him I would find restoration, healing and forgiveness for myself and others. At first I conformed and did everything that was expected of me to avoid trouble.
