Sanctuary Lodge

Situated in the picturesque Essex countryside, Sanctuary Lodge provides a supportive setting for individuals seeking essential rehabilitation for substance use and behavioral issues. Their detoxification and residential treatment plans are designed to address addiction comprehensively, focusing on the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of well-being. Recognizing that every individual's journey is unique, Sanctuary Lodge employs a personalized approach to recovery. Each client is given a customized treatment strategy that includes medical detoxification when necessary, followed by a mix of the 12-Step framework, conventional therapeutic methods like counseling, and holistic practices such as yoga, gong bath meditation, and acupuncture. Medical supervision ensures a safe detox process. Conveniently located in the charming town of Halstead, Sanctuary Lodge is easily accessible from London and local transport options. The facility boasts 19 private en-suite bedrooms and 5 shared accommodations, all recently updated and tastefully furnished. A dedicated chef prepares wholesome meals, utilizing fresh and local ingredients, and dietary preferences are taken into account whenever possible. Clients have access to a fully-equipped gym and inviting gardens for relaxation. At Sanctuary Lodge, clients benefit from 12 months of complimentary aftercare, alongside ongoing support through their alumni program. This initiative includes regular check-ins with the dedicated alumni team, monthly newsletters, an exclusive Facebook support community, and invitations to free recovery events throughout the year. These resources foster connections among former residents, allowing them to share successes, challenges, and insights from their recovery journeys.

The center specializes in the treatment of substance use disorders alongside related mental health issues. Each individual receives a tailored treatment plan that focuses on both conditions simultaneously, ensuring a holistic and empathetic approach to recovery.

Sanctuary Lodge is approved by both Bupa and AXA. If you plan to use your private insurance, make sure to mention this when talking to your UKAT admissions advisor about your treatment alternatives. Your advisor will assist you with the required documentation and arrange your assessment, which typically lasts around a week.
