Why people from Fourways choose a Randburg halfway house
Fourways and the surrounding estates are home to many families and professionals, but structured sober-living homes are not always available right on the doorstep. Randburg, just to the south-west, has established options. Choosing a house a short drive from Fourways gives you:
- Distance from triggers — enough separation from old routines and places, without being far from family.
- Practical commuting — if you work in Fourways, Sunninghill or Lanseria, travelling from Sundowner is manageable.
- Easy visits — family can be involved without long trips.
- A route back home — when you are ready to move out, you are already living close to where you plan to settle.

What a halfway house offers after rehab

- A daily routine with set wake-up times, chores and curfews.
- Regular check-ins and house meetings for accountability.
- Attending 12-step fellowships such as AA and NA.
- Access to individual counselling.
- Support returning to work, study and family life.

- What is expected of residents each day?
- Is 12-step or similar recovery work part of the programme?
