Hear from our patients
At Tranquility Clinic , we believe that our facilities, Professional Team , Treatment options and being available 24/7 ensures a high level of success. Our previous patients success reflects our dedication, commitment and tireless work.
The management and staff were very hands on and made extra effort to keep us comfortable and happy. I received the best counseling and care. The group sessions and the meetings helped me to realise that i was not alone and I came to understand the disease of addiction. Apart from the addiction, the most valuable lesson I received was turning my defects of character into assets and once i started practicing them, I became a better person.
The doors of Tranquility were always open to me after I was discharged as a patient. I attended in house meetings and aftercare. If ever I was faced with a dilemma I could either pop in or call and I was assisted,this still stands to date.
My family was also offered and given counseling which enabled them to understand the disease and also get help on trauma that they had experienced from my actions. This in turn, assisted them with ways to help and support me once I returned home.
I am 8 years clean and sober and I am Spiritually strong enough to handle life on life's terms and enjoy my new life. Just for today, one step at a time I am happy, joyous and free 🤗
Thank You Uncle Gibson, Aunty cookie & all the staff for the Genuine love and care you show your patients. Thank you most for the sacrifices you have made to ensure that our lives are saved. Thank you for Life 🙏
God bless you all abundantly 🙏
“I came into Tranquility Home a broken person. Physically, emotionally and spiritually I had almost reached the end and for me this was to be the final reaching out for help of my disease of alcohol addiction. In my stay here, I learnt with the help of the counselors and staff to become whole again. The combination of the peaceful surroundings and the thoughtful counselors and the comprehensive study of the 12 steps helped me immensely to truly discover for myself what my purpose for this life would be. I learnt more here in 3 weeks of the stay than I have learnt from countless psychiatric sessions. Most importantly, I learnt to love and forgive myself and find spirituality which is the keystone of my life.Thank you to all the counselors & staff of Tranquility Home. Finally, I found a place with people who truly understood as they were all there, where I was, before. My heartful thanks to everyone at Tranquility Home.”

“Our daughter, currently aged 20, had displayed problems handling her alcohol for the past couple of years. Like most parents, her father and I stuck our heads deeply in the sand and put this down to teenage behaviour and that she would grow out of it. At the start of 2014 her drinking became progressively worse, worse than even her father and I realised. When we confronted Victoria regards an empty wine or beer bottle that we had found, she would become defensive and blame it on her sister. She had frequented night clubs in the past. This was a concern to us as her behaviour became erratic when she was drunk, very angry and aggressive, often with physical assaults on anyone who was concerned about her. In May, my daughter started drinking and driving. In late May she wrote a varsity exam in the morning and advised her Dad that she was going out to purchases a book she needed. At 17h00, my husband received a phone call to advise that we should pick up our daughter at a local pub. She had been sitting drinking alone for about 4 hours and was incapable of speech let alone driving. That night I knew we had to address her alcoholism. I googled rehab clinics, amongst those that appeared on my screen was Tranquillity. It was not listed first or perhaps even second but for some reason I knew this clinic had to be my choice. When I contacted Tranquility Home Rehab Clinic, I didn’t even know their physical address. One of the counsellors at Tranquility took my call and advised that we come straight away. He took the time to sit and talk to my daughter and us regards her disease and she decided to check herself in immediately. Although the first week was exceptionally difficult for all of us, she immersed herself into the Twelve Step Program. Through the encouragement, support and love shown by all the staff at Tranquility she left 23 days later a new woman. What a pleasure! The doors to Tranquility Home are always open, just like the hearts of the staff that work there. Heartfelt thanks go out to all of you at Tranquility that promised me I would get my daughter back – and I did”

“It is with utmost gratitude that I look back upon my stay at Tranquility Home and I would like to thank everybody involved with my recovery from the bottom of my heart – you saved my life. When I first arrived I believed that I had a drinking problem but that the people at Tranquility Home would teach me how to manage this. Little did I know that I would leave a complete new person who realized that I had so much more than just a drinking problem but was able to resolve all my issues with the love, guidance and advice I have received from the people at Tranquility Home. I have been equipped with all the tools necessary to fully enjoy this new lease on life that I have been given. During my stay at Tranquility Home I have been brought into contact with many people who proved to me again and again that this program works if you work it – I am a stronger person physically, mentally and spiritually – all the things I need on my way to successful recovery. I have found my place amongst a new family through the Support Group meetings that we attended weekly – a very important step as this is a program I will be following for the rest of my life. I can recommend Tranquility Home to anybody who is suffering from addiction – you can only win!”

“Coming into Tranquility Home, I had no hope for the future, for my ability to try something new and any thought of life after rehabilitation never existed. The first thing they asked me if I was willing to turn a new leaf. I was desperate. They promised me freedom from self and peace of living a life of sobriety. I had nothing to lose. I gave it my all from the first step and already felt a weight coming off my shoulders. Telling people about who I truly was and how I lived in addiction was hard for me because that is what I had been running away from for the past 6 years. Again, I felt the freedom that was promised to me. After the tenth day, I felt the urge to do the program to the best of my ability. The treatment team welcomed me into their family of fellowship. The acceptance I had been looking for with drugs had been given to me freely by people I never knew before. They understood me. I worked the recovery program fearlessly and found peace within the spiritual experience. I can’t express my gratitude to the people at Tranquility Home, the God of my understanding and the opportunity of life through the recovery program. I am a new creation and I am so blessed. Thank you to the staff and management of Tranquility Home. You guys have given me back my life and I can never forget you”

“I was using marijuana/khat, I was a bubbly, outgoing, responsible, intelligent and full of integrity. I spent three months in prison due to a temper tantrum whilst using drugs and decided to take the necessary measures to work a program to deal with my addiction and terrible behavior related to my using.
I was able to find a structured routing and share my progress with others ahead and behind me in my recovery. I was counselled for post-traumatic stress disorder from a violent gang rape and was able to overcome my paranoia from potentially being human trafficked. I had a wonderful 5 weeks that enabled me to dig into my behaviors and find the root causes using the 12 step program. I have completely changed.
I am quite comfortable entering the world being the person I am now. I plan to stay in the NA fellowship and I hope to keep branching out to the helpful wonderful people who share this disease with me.
I have learned that my resentments developed during my childhood and ultimately grew and developed into thinking patterns and behavioural triggers. With this awareness I have been enabled to replace my bad behaviour with good ones and work with God. I have learnt just how amazing my higher power is and I am truly grateful.
It is my second time here and I woud most definitely recommend Tranquility Home to anyone who needs a life changing experience and a fresh start to overcome a terrifying drug addiction. Thank you Tranquility.”

“I cannot describe the feeling of peace and happiness I feel inside. I came into Tranquillity Home hopeless and crying, now I leave with a known purpose – smiling from the inside out. I came in here with one question – “Who am I?” I had lost myself along the way and with the help of the staff and patients at Tranquility Home, I have been reborn. I have found myself, I know what my likes are, my dislikes, what makes me smile and what makes me cry, who my friends are and who are not. I most definitely know who those people are that are important to me. I have the chance to make good decisions in my life. A brand new life. Thank you Tranquillity Home Rehab Clinic. I would never have been able to walk this road alone and will never have to walk alone again”
Rooksana
I have been on heroin for 14 years, I have been to 11 rehabs and this is the first time that I’m doing the 12 steps here at Tranquillity Home. When I came in here I thought that it will be like the other rehabs I’ve been to, but it’s different here, the love, care and unity between people and the counsellors here is amazing.
Like I mentioned earlier, I’ve been to 11 rehabs and none worked, but something has happened to me here at Tranquillity Home. I have finally made up my mind that heroin is not my solution anymore, the 12 steps, meetings; higher power is the only way that I am going to stay clean. This programme gives me so much hope and I am eternally grateful to Tranquillity Home. There is something special about this place and the changes that are happening to people here is awesome.”
Lulu
“I walked into Tranquility Home broken, sobbing and on the brink of losing my family. I had already lost all sense of hope and faith in anyone, let alone myself, and I did not know where to turn. This was my one and only shot to get clean and make a dramatic change in my life. I had taken prescription and over the counter opiates for 2 years and I did not know how I was going to live one day without them. I sit now, one month clean, feeling a sense of the deepest happiness, calm and serenity – Feelings I never believed possible before I entered these doors. Tranquility Home and it’s counselors, nurses, doctors and psychologists gave my hope back, but most of all the twelve steps programme that it teaches, gave me my life back. I have yet to enter a more deeply loving, caring, spiritual and compassionate environment. I have yet to meet more deeply loving, caring, spiritual and compassionate people as those at Tranquility Home. To meet like-minded people who finally understood my pain and walked me through my dark journey to the light was more than I could have wished for. I sit here today with my loving family by my side, clean and free, happy and spiritually connected. The decision to enter Tranquility Home has irrevocably shifted the course of my life forever, and for that, I am eternally grateful.”
Tammy
“I came here as a hurt, self-loathing, vindictive person. Spiritually and physically I was close to death.
I was overwhelmed by the compassion and concern that was bestowed upon me by the Tranquility Home staff and later on by the fellow addicts.
Words cannot describe what the Tranquility Home treatment programme has done for me. I have heard about the twelve steps, but rejected it as a lot of nonsense. The counselors opened up each step for me – I was left in awe about the truth hidden in every step and the light it brought to my life.
I am leaving today with peace in my heart, I have unloaded all my hurt, blame and hate. This space in me is now empty for God’s love and grace to fill me.
My deepest thanks to Tranquility Home, the counselors, the treatment programme and the companionship of the fellow addicts. I am a very positive person that with the tools I received here, I’ll have a sober day for the rest of my life, taking it day by day.”
Gabriella
“I was brought to Tranquility Home in the most desperate of states. I had lost everything and was in danger of losing my sanity and finally my life. I believed myself to be a hopeless individual and truly believed that I was to succumb to my death and be a statistic. I did not really understand my disease or its solution. I was assured that they could help me and having no options, I trusted the process.
The experience has been life changing. The knowledge of the 12 step programme and the interest that these people have for their patients extends beyond the professional context of the work they undertake to do and is truly altruistic and appreciated.
Having been isolated from my own family and friends (as a result of my addiction)
I discovered principles, fellowship, support and love as shown through the staff of Tranquillity home.
Having been in numerous treatment facilities, I would highly recommend Tranquility Home to give the recovery and an excellent base point from which to venture into their own recovery. The critical differentiator is that the Staff of Tranquility Home are all passionate advocates for recovery from the disease of addiction and this translates into everything they do.
I was truly in the presence of my maker and the gift of recovery I received as a result of their care and guidance is priceless. It is one that going forward in my programme I shall defend by using the tools they imparted in me.
I am truly blessed and for the first time in years I know freedom and I have hope for my future.”
Sophia
“I am married for 13 years, with 3 beautiful children.
When I stumbled through the doors of Tranquility Home on a sunny Friday morning- feeling shattered, broken, lost and hopelessly drunk – I knew that I had nowhere else to go and that I was in desperate need for help!
Through the haze of tears, guilt, shame, worthlessness, self-loathing and pity, I struggled through my first week of recovery. As I slowly progressed through step work, I began to feel the stirrings of a change within myself. For the first time in many years, I began to see that there was hope for me. With all the guidance, reassurance, kind and valuable words from all the counselors and the fellow patients, I started coming to terms with my disease and shown it affected all aspects of my life.
Tranquility Home has filled my body, mind and soul with happiness, peace and joy – something that id long forgotten about. To truly feel free, content and intact is a true blessing!
I believe we are all alive and sober for only one reason: God has a job for us to do. I have also come to believe that I must please God first, myself second and everybody
else third. When I can live and feel that way – and it isn’t all day everyday – things”
Daniella
“When I walked into the doors of Tranquility Home, I was so broken and tried many times to fix myself but to no available.
When I made the decision to go into rehab I did not know the impact that it would have on my life; in freeing my spirit and back to that place where I can be grateful.
I’m learning to love myself a bit more every day. I can say thank you, I can pray, I’m honest – the truth has set me free in ways I can’t explain.
The counsellors approach you with such care, love and understanding; there is no judgement- only growth.
I approach all things with my head held up high, shoulders back and confidence I only dreamt of having and now it is real- God is real, take a look around you.
I am humbled by my experience here and the journey continues.”
Thobela
“When I walked through the doors of Tranquility Home I immediately felt the kindness from the nurses and other patients. Everyone welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home. The nurses, counsellors, social workers and patients always greeted me with a smile; and understand.
When I came in I was broken, lost and had no hope. But, because of the Tranquility treatment program, all the love and support I got from the staff, I had hope. I don’t feel so lost anymore, I feel positive that I can do something great.
I would definitely recommend Tranquility Home because it has done great things for me.”

“I feel truly blessed to have the privilege of the support offered by the staff and the people I had the pleasure in getting to know in my stay. What I have learnt and experienced at Tranquility Home has surely been one of the most memorable and needed tools that I will always keep in my new found sobriety. I would especially like to thank the senior counselors for sharing their wisdom and dedication to this program. The awesome counselors and the wonderful way they interacted with myself and the rest of the patients. This will always be my home. I discovered that when I left here, because I couldn’t wait to see all the people I had left when I came to visit, they surely will always have a special place in my heart.”
Kate
“The name Tranquility Home says it all. Lovely surroundings, great caring staff, always happy to help put a smile on your face when you are feeling down.
Will miss everyone I have met here, but I’ll be back to say hello. Being from Zimbabwe I will carry forward to my fellow ex-drinkers, the hope and the love that surrounded me here.
Thank you all very much, I’ll keep believing in my Higher Power and follow the steps that have now become my daily routine.”
Jenny
“My stay at Tranquility Home was genuinely a life changing experience.
I had my ups and downs, but I made the most amazing friends, the most amazing people on my journey here. I also made friends with all the friendly staff.
I was welcomed into the Tranquility family with open arms and warm hearts. I will never forget what they did for me. They saved my life in more ways than one.
The tools I have been given changed every part of my being and when applied properly will keep me clean a day at a time for the rest of my life.
I can only thank everyone at Tranquility Home for an unforgettable life changing journey”
Jane
“Tranquility Home was my first rehab, walked in with nothing, no soul, not knowing how to live, no hope. I was scared, wouldn’t get out of the car. But seeing the pain in my mom’s eyes hit me hard. I had nothing left to lose. I walked into the rooms with a big bang of love and friendly faces. Each day got easier. For the first time I felt happy. I have met the most amazing people, all able to relate, support and love each other for exactly who they are.
To the staff, thank you! You have all brought an everlasting strength and smile to my heart. The most important thing to me is the freedom, no wired fences, no locked doors. You come here because you want to be here, because you want and deserve better. You deserve a life of love and freedom and peace of mind. It is a hard fact to get to grips with, but the people here are willing to do whatever it takes to build you up after you have been broken down too many times.
Something deep in my soul has changed. I have learnt and grown in indescribable ways.
Thank you everyone, especially my Higher Power and Tranquility. For opening my eyes, soul, mind and heart to this beautiful world and my beautiful self. As hard as it might be out there, I know nothing is worth anything after that first drug/drink. I have the tools and I know how to use them. For once in my life it’s time to ‘JUST DO IT’.
THANK YOU TRANQUILITY HOME REHAB”
Candice
“I will never forget the day I walked into Tranquility Home. I was an emotional wreck, and very afraid not knowing what to expect. I remember telling myself that I did not belong here. It all changed once I started working the program and day by day I got stronger emotionally and spiritually.
It was not all doom and gloom. I was made to feel very special immediately. The hugs and smiles were so overwhelming. I just grew stronger day by day with support all around me.
I desperately wanted to stop drinking but was not able to do it on my own. Every time I tried it was short lived. Coming here has been the best thing I did for myself. As I leave this place I am stronger, more confident and fill of gratitude, peace, calmness and joy.
For the rest of my life I shall be eternally grateful that God put me in this place, that I have a second chance.
Would I recommend Tranquility Home?? YES, I WOULD WITHOUT HESITATION.
The counselors are so willing to help and the passion they have for what they do touched me. I am very grateful and thank them from the bottom of my heart for my recovery. The staff that do the cleaning and the cooking, to them as well I want to say thank you, thank you.”
Lilian
“My stay at Tranquility Home was really memorable. I would definitely recommend anyone that is ready to change their life to start it off here. It was very different to other rehabilitation centers I have been to. At Tranquility Home it is 100% about recovery from substance abuse addiction”
Maria
“My family found out about Tranquility Home on the internet. Yes, it is a home and not a centre.
Would I recommend this clinic to you or a loved one that is sick of being sick? Definitely.
This is where I found my home away from home. This has been my soft place to fall, alcohol has left the building. This home is run by people who know the pain of addiction. They themselves went through it. They offer love, compassion and understanding. They are also supported by a team of professionals, i.e. medical doctor, professional nurses, psychologist, counselors and a social worker. Tranquility Home welcomes everybody regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion or lack of religion. They offer a holistic approach to your mental, physical and spiritual restoration process. So come on and discover the road back to peace, serenity and happiness at Tranquility Home”
Maude
“I came into the rooms of Tranquility Home being at rock-bottom. My only thought was that if this is what life is all about, then I am not interested any more. The weeks to follow, working through the 12 step program, was a roller-coaster ride. It is very intense, and I uncovered a lot about myself that were hidden and numbed for years.
With every step, I learnt about the tools I can use during my recovery in order to establish a wholesome, happy, loving life mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically. These re all the elements addressed in a variety if group’s and other activities at Traquility.
It changed my life, and a whole new relationship with my higher power. The evening meetings are a huge help in meeting and listening to other addicts with much more clean time.
The staff is all so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The counsellors gave me such fantastic insight in all the aspects. The accommodation is great and the food really fabulous.
Thank you Tranquility, you will always have a special place in my heart. I have, for the first time in my, peace in my heart.”
Rose
“Before coming to Tranquility Home (TH), I was sick, angry, and lonely. I have given up on myself, God and life. Hitting rock-bottom opened a door which led to TH.
From the moment I admitted that I was powerless over my addiction and that my life is absolute chaos, relief started to roll over me. I came to believe there is a SOLUTION to my insanity. The 24 days at TH were some of the hardest, most wonderful and life changing days of my life. Very quickly I realized that there is no elevator to sobriety and that I will have to take the “Steps”. I also discovered that the magnitude of my recovery in rehab (and out there) is proportional to the sincerity of my surrender to a Power greater than me.
The staff of TH is absolutely amazing. They touched my life like very few people have ever done. Their dedication to their own sobriety and to give back to others, who are suffering, is remarkable. The sacrifices they make to save a life are mind-boggling. They believed in me, when all I had was self-hatred.
The other people I have met (in the rehab and at meetings) formed an integral part in the start of my road to recovery. Spending time with other addicts made me realize I am not alone. Being accepted for who I am kicked-off my restoration process.
I came to believe in the AA program of recovery. The program works if you work it, and there is a reason why the Steps all start with the word …”WE”. I discovered that “whatever you put before your sobriety, you will surely lose”. I learned that having resentments is like “drinking poison but expecting someone else to die”.
I will always be a recovering alcoholic and I have to take it “one-day-at-a-time”.
Tranquility Home showed me HOW – through Honesty, Openness and Willingness.
I want to THANK the management again for their devotion to recovering alcoholics and addicts. God bless you abundantly”
Sarah
“I recommend Tranquility Home to everyone whose suffering with addictions. When I came to Tranquility, the staff welcomed me with warm hands. The atmosphere is full of love, three hot meals every day. It really feels like home.
When I came I was hopeless and useless, I felt like I have no purpose but through working on the programme I’ve found who I am. I felt peace in my mind and my heart but more especially I’ve found a purpose. I fell in love with myself again. I’ve found my Higher Power here. Thanx a lot to Tranquility Home”
Nozipho
Before Tranquility Home Rehab, I never thought that I had a problem- I was in denial. My parents brought me in. I was a little shit, did not want to be here. Complete denial, I thought I could do it alone.
Through my stay I finally accepted that I’m an addict. I finally understand my disease and how to deal with it. I have no shame, this is who I am. I’ve learnt to come to terms with it. I’m much more content and happy with myself. There is no judgement here and a lot of love here.
It hurts to leave because of the people that I’ve grown strong bonds with, at the same time excited to start my journey and come back for meetings and to help the newcomers feel welcome.”

Parent Testimonials
“When first my daughter admitted she needs help we were not sure where and how. My sister introduced TRANQUILITY CLINIC to us. When she was ready I phoned to speak to a counsellor who was so enthusiastic to assist. With his enthusiastic response the decision was made very easy.
It is with great sincerity that we write this testimony as we experience a 360 degree turn around for our daughter during and after the program.
The Welcome.
On arriving at Tranquility Home, we were met by the senior counsellor who assisted us with the admission of the patient, explaining in detail the process going forward, arranging a tour of the facility and introducing us to some the patients to share their experience at the house. All this was done with total honesty and you could sense the love from the counsellor for what he does and the awareness of the uncertainty of what awaits the new patient that is his way to make all welcome and the patient entering an unknown period of their recovery. When leaving my daughter and Tranquility we were at peace that she is in good hands.
Facility (The House)
The accommodation is clean and adequate for all the needs of the patient, the eating area was well stocked and there were no complaints from my daughter for any reason at all.
The Programme to recovery
The counsellors shared with all the families as to what to expect and what to do after the program. My daughter embraced the program and her new found sober friends, the change in her behaviour was immediately noticed on our first visit after 7 days in recovery, she was very forthcoming with sharing here experience and in particular the sensitive but assertive manner in which the counselors guide and lead them through her recovery process.
This program brought back our once loving and caring daughter. Witnessing her concerns about new patients, as well as, patients who had difficult days. This all thanks to the recovery steps program and to the manner in which she was groomed by the team to leave the house confident and ready to face the challenges of the outside world.
Tranquility Team
The Tranquility TEAM has an effective treatment program and commitment to ensure the best treatment for all patients.
However our experience dealing directly with the counsellors (not that we want to exclude any of the other team members) we came to the conclusion that any patient in the care of these rooms has the potential and opportunity to go out into the world with their heads high and to live a full life without the dangers of addiction knowing the support is only a phone call away.
Meetings
My daughter embraced the changes that came and is still coming from attending the A.A., C.A and N.A meetings sharing similar experiences and give thought as to ensure that there is a support group always available who will assist when you are down uplifting and re directing your healing process.
The stress put on the groups regarding the attendance of meetings was noticeable and we understand this as a place where recovering alcoholics and addicts have a fellowship that support and understand.
Conclusion
We will always be thankful for the experience of my daughter’s recovery and support at TRANQUILITY CLINIC, we as a family made lifelong friends, supporters and most of all we got our daughter back.”
John & Lynn
“I cannot thank Tranquility Home enough for your kind assistance and generosity that you have shown my addict son and me.
You literally saved my son from total destruction on the streets and you gave me back my sanity and reason to live !!
You have put all other rehabs to shame because above all YOU CARED and you SHOWED LOVE in order to take my son in.
You are passionate about assisting alcoholics and addicts to recover and find a sense of peace, in living a new wholesome life without alcohol and drugs”
Amber
“Our daughter, currently aged 20, had displayed problems handling her alcohol for the past couple of years. Like most parents, her father and I stuck our heads deeply in the sand and put this down to teenage behaviour and that she would grow out of it.
At the start of 2014 her drinking became progressively worse, worse than even her father and I realised. When we confronted my daughter with regards an empty wine or beer bottle that we had found, she would become defensive and blame it on her sister.
She had frequented night clubs in the past. This was a concern to us as her behaviour became erratic when she was drunk, very angry and aggressive, often with physical assaults on anyone who was concerned about her.
In May she started drinking and driving. In late May she wrote a varsity exam in the morning and advised her Dad that she was going out to purchases a book she needed. At 5pm my husband received a phone call to advise that we should pick up our daughter at a local pub. She had been sitting drinking alone for about 4 hours and was incapable of speech let alone driving.
That night I knew we had to address her alcoholism. I googled rehab clinics, amongst those that appeared on my screen was Tranquility Home. It was not listed first or perhaps even second but for some reason I knew this clinic had to be my choice.
When I contacted Tranquility I didn’t even know their physical address. One of the counsellors at Tranquility took my call and advised that we come straight away.
He took the time to sit and talk to my daughter and us regards her disease. Following a private consultation with her, she decided to check herself in immediately.
Although the first week was exceptionally difficult for all of us, my daughter immersed herself into the Treatment Program. Through the encouragement, support and love shown by all the staff at Tranquility Home she left 23 days later a new woman. What a pleasure!
The doors to Tranquility are always open. Just like the hearts of the staff that work there. Heartfelt thanks go out to all of you at Tranquility that promised me I would get my daughter back – and I did!!”
Debbie
“I hereby wish to thank Tranquility Home from the bottom of my heart for the great inspiration, love and guidance displayed towards my son’s recovery. My son spent a month in their care recovering from drug abuse. Only God made it possible that my son could end up here. Glory to God. The change in my son is unbelievable. It is thanks to all the counselors. I recommend this institute to all those who wish to save their children from drugs and to get back the children they once knew”
Clement
“My 26 year old son shuffled through the door of Tranquility Home looking more like a frail old man at death’s door. 28 days later, my son walked out of the same door a healthy, strong young man filled with hope, determination and inner peace. Tranquility Home gave my son the tools to be brutally honest with himself and his addiction. To not necessarily forget the past, that would be unrealistic… but to let the past horrors go, to free himself of his past, to take his strengths and to apply them to life…that it is possible to start anew and to realise his dreams. Thank you Tranquility Home. You are indeed a “HOME”…where people really do CARE….thank you for all you have done for my son, for your many generous and selfless deeds. Thank you for giving me back my son”

“A Big Thank You to Tranquility Home Rehab Clinic for all the help with our addict son. Everyone at Tranquility went the extra mile for him. My son had so much anger and Tranquility helped him deal with his anger with patience and love. Tranquility has become my son and our family, because they care about us and show us so much love.
A special thanks to the counselors for being so willing to help and for sticking by my son through so much. All the staff at Tranquility Home are awesome. Words cannot express how thankful we are, all I can say is thanks and may God bless you abundantly.”
A Mother’s Gratitude to Tranquility Home: Vanessa
“Most rehabs have the same basic procedures and routines. They all follow the 12-step program and they all have the same goal – to rehabilitate and assist addicts in their recovery from a painfully debilitating disease. Yes all rehabs have the same aim. So what makes Tranquility Clinic different?
My husband was on a dangerous road slipping rapidly further into a desperate state of despair and addiction despite having been to 3 different rehabs. Our initial interview was warm and encouraging with information about how they focussed on the 4-th step and a promise of assisting from a holistic view.
The past 24 days I experienced a change I never imagined possible. Tranquility staff are warm, empathetic and extremely skilled in dealing with the various issues related to and creating the behaviour.
The inclusion of the 4th step which takes the person into the depth of their deepest emotions as well as the inclusion of meditation, yoga and family counselling created a platform for my husband and our family to begin to rebuild our lives through working on ourselves, individually and as a family.
Tranquility has given me a calmer, more sincere, helpful, loving and spiritual husband, father and friend. They created a safe place for him to deal with his issues and guided him to a level of spirituality in order to deal with the daily challenges we deal with. They included us in his rehabilitation and allowed us to see not only his side but how we affect and react to his condition.
We have a long road ahead of us but with the help and assistance we received from Tranquility as well as their continued support we are looking forward to a better future. Thank you Tranquility Home.”
Testimonial from a grateful Wife: Ursula
“From the moment I saw Tranquility Home details and pictures on the internet, I felt obliged to contact the treatment centre. I made the phone call and spoke to one of the counsellors and from that moment things just fell in place for my son.
The way the call was conducted made me comfortable and more determined to get my son the help he needed. When we arrive at Tranquillity home we were greeted with warm faces and even my son said this place is nice and quiet. When I left my son at the centre on that Friday afternoon I knew or I could feel that it was the right decision and place.
And not one day did I look back or had sleepless nights.
Tranquillity Home is really the platform where an individual can find their inner self’s, and move from destruction to restoration.
There is respect amongst the patients and staff.
My son’s first few days out of rehab were very shaky and I could pick up the phone and asked for further guidance and counselling. They did not hesitate one second and my son was back at the rehab just to assist with strengthening him further in his road to recovery.
He has become more open and honest and just wants to save the world from drugs. He attends his meetings religiously and sometimes wants to force us (rest of the family) to adapt our life style according to the 12 step program.
When it comes to recommending a treatment centre for Treatment of Drugs and Alcohol, I will give TRANQUILITY HOME A 95%, not because they are not perfect. On the contrary they are 100% committed to the recovery of the addict. But the 5% is dependent on how much the addict wants to stay clean and use the tools to overcome obstacles.
Thanking the Lord our God for putting Tranquility Home on our path”
Parent Testimonial from Cherri
“Since my son completed a three week stay at Tranquility Home, everything has changed in our lives.
Not only is my son clean and sober, but he has found hope.
Now that he has found hope, my wife and I have found peace.
Now that we have found peace, we have found a new unity that bonds us all closer together than we have ever been before.
The program followed by Tranquility Home is the answer.
Their staff are dedicated and understanding. They apply pressure when it is needed, they provide comfort when it is needed and they guide all the time.
They lead my son from his pit of darkness into the light of joy and hope and there is NOTHING that I or my family can say or do that can adequately thank everyone at Tranquility Home for what they have helped my son to achieve.
Now that he has left the shelter of their safe environment and is back in the harsh, real world, they have NOT forgotten him, but have made him part of their family.
He is so happy to have people close by who understand him, understand what he has done, how he has changed and how his future will be.
This reinforces OUR peace and strengthens our belief that he will not fall back into that black pit of hopelessness and despair.
Their support for him as well as the rest of us is outstanding and I praise the Almighty for sending us to them in our darkest hour.
I cannot thank or praise the staff at Tranquility Home enough for their dedication and commitment as well as their friendship and strength.
I pray that they will continue to be a shining light of hope to ALL that knock on their door”
