The town of Rehoboth has come under scrutiny for drug use following the arrest of five individuals on drug-related charges. 

Among those arrested are Naomi Fisch and her boyfriend, Steven Schneiders. 

The town of Rehoboth appears to be quiet and offers little in the way of excitement. But it is here that residents say drug lords thrive.

According to the police, Rehoboth is among the leading towns when it comes to dealing and using drugs.

William Steenkamp is a recovering drug addict. He has been attending the ongoing bail application of Naomi Fisch since it started and is protesting against the granting of bail.

It was in 2019 that Steenkamp decided to change his life and started the support group Chain Breakers to help people struggling with drugs and rebuild their lives. 

He said the group began with almost 50 participants and provides a space for people to speak openly about their addiction. 

"When people meet me, they usually don't think I use drugs. But when I speak about it, they can see the patterns. We want to help people and help them understand where they are now and guide them toward change."

Steenkamp explained that the group also helps those who have no support. 

"Drugs strip a person of everything: money, family, friends. We take what we have and help them access programmes at restoration centres."

He described his journey with drugs, including alcohol, cannabis, and crack cocaine, and how it affected his household. 

Gerhard Brandt, who is also a member of Chain Breakers, has had his life spiral out of control for years. 

For him, what began as occasional drinking and smoking escalated into a full-blown addiction, costing him businesses, cars, and nearly his family.

"During the time I was addicted, I lost a lot. I had my own business, and I lost it. I sold my cars, smoked them away, and fell back into drugs because of alcohol."

He admits that his actions left his family in tears. Brandt informed NBC News that he has been clean for one year after his wife heard of Chain Breakers and introduced him to the programme.

"It helped me a lot because my wife was involved in the church, and I began to follow the group. It was difficult because at the start the cravings were difficult to manage."

Despite financial challenges and a shortfall of N$7,000 to register Chain Breakers as an NGO, Steenkamp remains optimistic and is hopeful that more residents will join.
