What Kelim House Is
More than accommodation — a restorative environment
Kelim House is a place where people are supported emotionally, socially and practically while they regain confidence, discipline, purpose and direction. It brings together three important roles.
Sober House
A substance-free living environment where residents can maintain sobriety through peer accountability, routine and support.
Halfway House
A transitional residence for people moving from treatment, hospitalisation, personal crisis or unstable circumstances back into community life.
Social Reintegration House
A supportive environment that helps residents reconnect with normal life through personal development, social responsibility, work readiness and community integration.
Who Kelim House Supports
Care for adults across Johannesburg
Kelim House serves adults in and around Johannesburg, especially Randburg and surrounding communities, including:
- Individuals recovering from substance abuse
- People discharged from rehabilitation programmes
- People leaving institutional environments
- Adults needing transitional accommodation after crisis
- Individuals seeking a sober, structured reset environment
- Families looking for a safe recovery placement for a loved one
The Need for Kelim House
Recovery rarely fails for lack of desire
Many people who want to recover do not fail because they lack desire. They often struggle because they return to the same environment that contributed to their crisis.
Common barriers include
- Unsafe or unstable housing
- Exposure to substance-use triggers
- Lack of accountability
- Family conflict
- Unemployment
- Isolation
- Poor self-esteem
- No structured daily routine
- Limited access to coaching, counselling and support
“Kelim House addresses this gap by creating a place where residents can recover in a setting that is safe, calm, disciplined and hopeful.”
