About
Since its establishment in 1993, Ark House has provided comprehensive residential treatment focused on abstinence and based on the 12-Step philosophy at its peaceful seaside location. The center adopts a non-sectarian, individualized approach to the 12 Steps, grounded in compassion, respect, and professional integrity. The treatment costs at Ark House may vary according to the duration of stay and the specific needs of each client.
Situated in the coastal town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, Ark House offers a serene environment just minutes away from both the beach and the town’s amenities. Occupying a beautifully restored Edwardian hotel, Ark House melds historical elegance with contemporary comfort. The facility features 15 bedrooms designed to ensure safety and privacy, including gender-specific floors and carefully arranged spaces that encourage relaxation and a sense of community.

Treatment programs at Ark House typically last between 6 weeks and 6 months and encompass group sessions, individualized counseling with accredited professionals, medication oversight, mindfulness activities, family participation, and a peer-support therapeutic community.
