Why we are different
Our approach to addiction treatment is what makes us stand out.

Personalised, whole-person care
Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Sanctuary Lodge supports clients with individualised care planning and a programme that addresses the physical and psychological aspects of alcohol and ketamine addictions, including co-occurring mental health needs where present.
Evidence-based and holistic therapies
Treatment can include proven talking therapies (such as CBT) alongside group work and holistic approaches, helping you build practical coping skills and healthier routines that can be maintained long-term.
Recovery support beyond discharge
Leaving residential rehab can be a vulnerable transition. Sanctuary Lodge offers 12 months’ free aftercare and access to an Alumni community to help you stay connected, supported and accountable.
