SIX-MONTH LADIES PROGRAMME
A sanctuary. A place to begin again.
Not just a treatment centre — a sanctuary where women rediscover themselves, reclaim their lives, and begin again.
Nestled on a sprawling farm outside Parys, Diamond's Ladies Programme is one of the most comprehensive, structured, and compassionate addiction recovery journeys available in South Africa. Addiction is a complex illness that affects women in unique and deeply personal ways. Our team's singular focus is your healing, your story, your future.
