Ocean Bay Recovery

Ocean Bay Recovery is a private boutique addiction treatment centre in the coastal hamlet of St. Francis Bay, Eastern Cape, just an hour from the nearest international airport in Nelson Mandela Bay. They offer an 8-bed residential programme and an outpatient programme, featuring a highly personalised continuum of care that addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of addiction. For clients who need to begin with stabilisation, they provide off-site detox for those in need of intensive medical oversight or on-site detox managed by a doctor and two full-time nurses.
Ocean Bay Recovery integrates ocean, beach and other nature-based experiences into treatment, helping clients reconnect with the part of themselves that knew how to have fun before addiction overcame them. Their setting offers access to beaches, hiking trails, rivers and nature reserves connected to the pristine Indian Ocean coastline of Greater St Francis Bay. Nature and ocean therapy form part of their daily programme, with daily morning trips to the beach and longer excursions into nature at least twice weekly.
Ocean Bay Recovery combines the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Model and the 12-Step Minnesota Model to provide evidence-based treatment that is both individualised and community-driven. Their personalised treatment plans integrate medical, psychological, and social factors, allowing clients to address addiction and co-occurring mental health issues in one-on-one therapy sessions. At the same time, the structured 12-Step framework fosters a supportive peer community, reinforcing ongoing accountability, self-reflection, and sustainable long-term recovery.
Ocean Bay Recovery offers a private, serene retreat just 100 metres from the beach and the scenic Two Harbours Hiking Trail, providing a peaceful setting for healing in nature. Their family homelike facility features private or shared en-suite bedrooms designed for comfort, a spacious open-plan kitchen, and inviting communal areas, including a swimming pool deck, entertainment lapa with pool, darts and table tennis, a gym and BBQ. Clients can relax on the Zen viewing deck overlooking the Indian Ocean.
