We wanted to share a final batch of pics from our time at the fantastic UKESAD event which took place in London earlier this year!

One of the greatest strengths of these events is the opportunity to connect - both inside and outside the conference room.

From insightful discussions to conversations over coffee, to even a few relaxed moments away from the schedule, this year’s gathering reminded us how much collaboration drives us forward.

We are grateful to everyone we met who shared their expertise, passion, and time with us, and to our partners and peers for making these days so valuable - too many to tag, but we appreciated meeting each and every one of you!

We were delighted to attend this year’s DB Recovery Resources UKESAD conference held in London a few weeks ago, connecting with some of the most passionate and innovative minds in the area of addiction and mental health!

A highlight was giving attendees a VR headset tour of White River Manor and White River Recovery - enabling them to explore our serene South African grounds… and even meet a few elephants along the way.

Events like these allow us to collaborate with fellow treatment providers, share knowledge, and bring back insights that strengthen the work we do at White River Manor and White River Recovery.

A big thank you to Deirdre Boyd and the team for creating such a collaborative atmosphere, and to everyone we met over the course of the conference. We look forward to building on these conversations in the months ahead.

“White River Recovery was a game-changer on my journey to sobriety. The staff genuinely cared, supporting me through ups and downs. It wasn't all rainbows and butterflies, but their compassion and belief in me kept me going...

"The programme challenged me to confront my demons, and I discovered inner strength I didn't know I had. But the real magic was the community. I connected with others who understood and cheered each other on. White River Recovery gave me hope.” - GoitseGod M.

We are honoured to walk alongside our clients on their journey to healing. Your courage inspires us every day 💙

“If addiction begins in isolation, recovery begins in connection.”

At White River Recovery, we see this truth play out every day. Peer support is one of the most powerful tools in breaking the cycle of addiction - not because it “fixes” anyone, but because it reminds people they are *not alone.*

Hearing someone say “I’ve been there too” can be profoundly healing. It creates a safe space where shame softens, walls come down, and a sense of belonging begins to grow.

That’s why our programmes integrate professional group therapy alongside peer support:

✅ A safe space to share without judgement
✅ Connection through lived experience
✅ Accountability and encouragement during tough moments
✅ A community that walks beside you long after treatment ends

Recovery is not just about removing harmful behaviours. It’s about rebuilding a life with purpose, connection, and meaning.

At White River, we believe in constantly evolving to provide the highest level of care.

As such, our Director Co-owner, Giles Fourie, and our Co-founder,
Jerry Hartless, recently travelled to the USA to attend another hugely successful Recovery.com symposium.

Speaking about the event, Giles said it was great to engage with and talk to some of the industry leaders in the recovery space, and collaborate with fellow treatment providers to better understand their programmes and their outcomes.

"Using this information helps us bring valuable insights back to White River Manor and White River Recovery so we can reach clientele who are in urgent need of treatment," he said.

"We would also like to thank Ben Camp and Jeremiah Calvino from Recovery.com for their hospitality, for always being so available and accommodating, and for the personal care they take in looking after their clients."

"I think about the day my son told me he was proud of me. He told me my sobriety inspired him and that I was someone he could talk to. That moment undid something in me. It reminded me that recovery doesn’t just save your life. It ripples out and heals the people you love, too."

In our latest blog, guest author Renee W (who is now 6 years alcohol-free) shares what helped maintain sobriety in the critical months after leaving rehab.
