Our Complete Treatment Pathway Approach at Sanctuary Lodge
At Sanctuary Lodge, recovery is approached as a step-by-step process, beginning with stabilising physical dependence and continuing through structured therapeutic work and emotional support. Treatment is designed to help individuals regain balance, develop insight, and build the confidence needed to move forward without substances.
Care at Sanctuary Lodge includes detoxification for alcohol and detox drug dependence, followed by individually tailored rehabilitation programmes that reflect each person’s clinical needs and personal recovery goals. Structured daily routines provide a sense of rhythm and purpose, while ongoing emotional and psychological support ensures individuals are never navigating recovery alone. By combining evidence-based therapies with holistic care, we help clients strengthen coping strategies and prepare for life beyond residential treatment.
Our clinical team delivers a broad range of therapeutic interventions, selected to support both immediate recovery and long-term change. These may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), 12-Step-informed approaches, group and one-to-one counselling, family therapy and support sessions, holistic wellbeing activities, and motivational interviewing alongside relapse-prevention strategies. This integrated mix allows clients to understand their behaviours, build resilience, and develop practical tools for maintaining recovery.
Sanctuary Lodge specialises in treating alcohol addiction, drug addiction, behavioural addictions, and co-occurring mental health conditions. All programmes are carefully customised to ensure the level and focus of care matches the severity of addiction, mental health needs, and individual circumstances.
Support continues after residential treatment ends. Sanctuary Lodge provides free aftercare for up to 12 months, including structured group work and ongoing access to the UKAT Alumni community. Through continued connection, encouragement, and accountability, clients are supported as they transition back into everyday life and work towards sustained recovery.
