Never Walk Alone
Brothers in Arms is a nonprofit drug recovery and in-house rehabilitation centre based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Eastern Cape, South Africa. Officially launched in December 2023, the centre serves as a beacon of hope for individuals and communities affected by substance abuse.
What sets us apart is our team—primarily composed of individuals in recovery—who bring empathy, understanding, and lived experience to every interaction. We stand by the belief that "Once an addict, always an addict is a lie!" Every day, we witness and celebrate recovery, reinforcing the message: we do recover.
Through sharing personal journeys, fostering peer support, and organizing events like our Fun Day gatherings for our clients, we are building a community of resilience, support, and renewed possibility.

6 months sober
"Brothers In Arms gave me more than just a program - they gave me a family. The peer support made all the difference because these people truly understand what I'm going through. Today, I'm proud to say I'm 6 months sober and rebuilding my life."
1 year sober
"After multiple failed attempts at other rehab centers, I found Brothers In Arms. Their approach is different - they celebrate every small victory and make you believe recovery is possible. The structured daily sessions gave me the discipline I needed. I've now been clean for a year and I'm helping others in the program."
