Therapeutic Activities
There are numerous activities arranged while at Jahara Treatment Centre that support the recovery and rehabilitation process and help to maximise the impact that recovery has on the residents. It is important that the journey of recovery begins with memorable experiences and that the life of recovery becomes more rewarding than the life of addiction.
In line with latest research and developments in recovery practices Jahara is at the forefront of embracing community involvement into the lives of the residents helping them to redefine their own citizenship and to feel apart of, and accepted into, society again. All activities are designed to help build new identities and to develop lost social skills.

Hiking and therapeutic walks
We have a vast amount of hiking trails and walks that we go out and explore while conducting groups and teachings along the way.

hot air BALLOONING
As an additional bonus to treatment male residents are allowed to go and assist with the setting up and taking down of Hot Air Balloons. This is an amazing experience and allows residents the opportunity to earn a little bit of an income for their tuck-shop accounts while at the same time teaches them to be responsible and to work in a team.
Early morning wake up to set up in time for sunrise.
cooking and eating
At Jahara Treatment Centre we pride ourselves on our menu and fresh produce. We teach residents how to cook and how to eat healthily whilst encouraging healthy meal times and good fellowship around our beautiful dining table and in our outdoor tea garden. We often host our own version of Master Chef where each resident gets a budget and composes their own dishes. We also cater for Vegans and Vegetarians. Have a look below at some of our regular dishes and some of our master chef winners.
