The first medical detoxification and rehabilitation centre in Eswatini, City of Refuge has officially opened its doors to assist people struggling with substance abuse.
The centre has three locations in the country, with its head office in Ezulwini and additional facilities in Matsapha and Mkhondvo.
City of Refuge provides rehabilitation services to people aged between 12 and 78 years with the aim of helping individuals overcome substance abuse, rebuild their lives and make positive changes.
City of Refuge Director Bishop Ronnie Doorsamy said the centre’s establishment in Eswatini is about bringing healing and transformation to people affected by substance abuse.
He said the organisation had come to Eswatini with the goal of providing healing and helping people recover from addiction.
The rehabilitation programme runs for between 21 and 28 days during which clients receive support as they work towards recovery.
In addition to its rehabilitation services, City of Refuge also has a college where young people can undergo two years of TVET vocational training.
The programme is intended to equip young people with practical skills that can help them become self reliant and improve their future prospects.
