Life at the clinic

A calm placeto begin again.

Gardens, a pool, quiet rooms and people who know what they're doing. The photographs on this page are of the clinic.

During your stay

A structured day, and support around the clock.

Treatment follows a structured daily programme of group and individual sessions. The residential setting lets clients practise what they learn in a safe and controlled environment.

Every day

  • 24-hour nursing and therapeutic support staff at the clinic
  • A medically assisted detox under medical care, where it’s needed
  • Your own programme, set with you after assessment
  • Family involvement encouraged, with family sessions on Wednesdays
  • Confidentiality: nothing shared without consent

Space to breathe.

Recovery takes energy. The clinic's setting gives you room to rest between sessions and to notice that a calmer day is possible. Your days have a shape: therapy, groups, coaching, meals together and time to yourself.
