When someone you care about enters addiction recovery, it can feel like you’re taking a breath for the first time...
Welcome to
The Recovery Lodge
Kent’s leading private addiction treatment centre in the UK
Our Treatment Programs
Examples of opiate abuse include taking the medication more frequently or in larger amounts than prescribed. Continued patterns of opiate abuse can lead to a spiralling addiction, which is difficult to overcome without the help of medical professionals.
If a person’s dependency upon alcohol is too severe, it may be physically dangerous if they were to suddenly stop drinking, with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, confusion, increased heart rate, hallucinations and anxiety. Alcohol withdrawal that is not medically supervised can be dangerous.
Detox will commence (if required) and the client is encouraged to join group activities the next morning, if possible, or as soon as they feel well enough to participate.
There is a fine line between compulsivity and impulsivity. Impulsivity may cover a wide range of behaviours that are poorly thought out, inappropriate and or risky, that often result in unwanted outcomes. It is often, though not always, unplanned. Compulsivity refers to the desire to repeat the same behaviours.
Let's start your recovery
I spent 4weeks there last year not knowing what to expect. I was 39 years old and I had tried to get clean on my own so many times before. These guys really went into detail about my addictions and help me understand why and what they are. I can't thank them enough and am a better man/son/brother/uncle/human for spending 4 weeks with them!Thank you so much!!Shout out to Ian, Tamzin!!! Stay brilliant!

I will always be grateful for what the staff in the recovery lodge have done for me and my family, I arrived in a desperate state feeling I had lost myself to my addiction, but after spending 28 days here giving everything I had into the program I left with the knowledge and understanding of what my illness had done to me and how to live in recovery. What the staff and owners do here is incredible, the structure and implementation of the Therapy sessions are what made the difference to the outcome of my recovery, I hope this message reaches someone who is in the place I was and helps takes the brave step to change their life as it has done for me.
Firstly, I thought I had left a message/rating when I left the lodge 6 years but turns out I hadn't.Secondly, after reading through the reviews, I am gob smacked that some people left 1 star rating. They obviously wasn't ready to stop their drinking/druguse and didn't open up to the whole recovery phase.Thirdly and lastly to my review. I can honestly say that the lodge saved my life. Without the help of everyone who worked there I probably wouldn't be around today or if I was I wouldn't have my wife and oldest boy in my life. Everyone who works there are so kind and caring and the lodge has such a lovely energy. I want to say thankyou to everyone who helped me get to where I am today, which is the happiest and most grateful place I have ever been. Special thank you to Jamie, Donna, Dennis and Jules.
This place has genuinely saved my life. I came in absolutely broken due to my alcohol addiction, as well as going through some pretty rough bereavements recently. They helped me more than I can explain in a review. They have given me the perfect grounding to start my new life, after care support is brilliant and introducing me to AA has been an absolute godsend. All the staff here are genuinely amazing and it's such a homely, safe space. I'd recommend the Recovery Lodge to anyone struggling. 40 days sober now, which is an absolute miracle, I'm looking forward to updating my review in a few months time.
I can't speak highly enough of this place it has not only saved my life but it has created a whole new way of life for me. I was completely broken and suicidal when I came in and in my mind the lodge was my last hope, it exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Every member of staff there has been a part of my journey and have contributed in making it the best experience of my life. There's so much care and love in this place, I've made so many new friends inside the rehab and in the AA fellowship I just can't believe how much my life has turned around in such a short space of time. I'll never look back now. Massive shout out to Donna and Jamie who have put their heart and souls into creating a fantastic rehab where so many people have turned their lives around. If you want it badly enough and you listen and take on board everything they tell you and then put it into action you cannot fail, it really does work.Thank you to everyone at the lodge I will be forever grateful .
I can’t say anything better about the recovery lodge apart from it literally saved my life. My wife and friend put me in there after being a alcoholic for 20yrs and on the verge of death, and I honestly didn’t care if I lived or died. I had no hope of life until engaging with the fantastic staff and owners who in 28 days helped me to believe in myself and regain my hope for living. The great thing about the recovery lodge is they start you on the 12 step program and take you to meetings, and because your in a small group you get to spend a lot of time with some great therapists and staff who have experienced what you have been through. I left the lodge with hope, faith, and courage and I will be forever grateful. I have also made some brilliant friendships that will be for life.
The staff saved my life and turned it around.My life now is amazing now thanks to the lodge.Its like a gateway to a new life.Thank youso much for what you done for meStu x
If your struggling with addiction and want to change your life I would recommend The Recovery Lodge all day long the whole experience is next level.I spent 4 weeks here in November 2020 and I've never looked back.I turned up a complete mess, I was scared and hopeless and my life had fallen to pieces around me. Rehab was last resort and I wasn't convinced it would work.I couldn't of been more wrong, I left the recovery lodge a new person. My whole outlook changed, I was proud of myself and hopeful about my future.Most importantly I left with the tools I needed to continue my recovery journey.It is the staff here that make this place what it is. They are all such genuine, passionate and inspiring people who work hard to help people get well. I can't thank everyone at the recovery lodge enough.I have an amazing life today and I am very proud to say that today I have over 8 months sobriety. Recovery is possible one day at a time.Big love for the lodge xx
