About House of Amaezan

Healing the whole person — not just the symptom.

House of Amaezan is a comprehensive rehabilitation center, safe space and shelter that attends to the physiological, psychiatric, physical health and social needs of every person who walks through our doors. We hold the conviction that recovery is not a single intervention — it is a sequence of right steps, taken in the right order, with the right people.

Who we are

House of Amaezan is into recovery, dignity and reintegration

House of Amaezan is the rehabilitation and safe-space arm of the Amaezan Group, based in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. We serve individuals affected by substance use, women and children in crisis, and at-risk youth needing educational support to interrupt cycles of harm.

Our work is multidisciplinary by design. Our clinical, psychological, and social interventions follow a logical, step-by-step sequence — strengthening the links between needs assessment, treatment planning, service delivery, monitoring, and quality improvement.

Our commitments

  • Free at the point of care. Cost should never be the barrier to recovery.
  • Evidence-based interventions. We use validated tools like SBIRT and trauma-informed care.
  • Multidisciplinary teams. Clinicians, psychologists, social workers and community workers — together.
  • Measured outcomes. Continuous monitoring, evaluation and quality improvement.
  • Dignity in every interaction. Every client is met where they are, without judgment.

S

Spiritual

Meaning, values, and purpose work — respecting each person's beliefs and helping them rediscover the dignity that addiction and trauma erode.
