About Brynawel
Brynawel Rehab, the leading residential centre for addiction treatment in Wales, is an inpatient programme that treats adult men and women struggling with addiction to drugs or alcohol, as well as those with co-occurring disorders. They offer personalised treatment plans to meet each client’s individual needs with evidence-based, experiential, and alternative therapies.
Medically supervised detox services are available for clients who have a physical dependency to alcohol. Medical staff is available to monitor patients to ensure a safe and comfortable detox process, using medication-assisted treatment as necessary. Clients in residential treatment are offered a safe and healing environment to work toward rebuilding their lives in sobriety. Their structured programme consists of evidence-based treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) through group and individual therapy sessions.
Their therapeutic group therapy programme centres on establishing connections between peers, focusing on developing the attributes needed to foster personal and emotional growth and strengthen relationships. Patients are assigned an experienced and compassionate therapist, all of which are members of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Clients will work through 1-on-1 sessions to gain the skills and ability to reach their goals in sobriety.
Experiential Therapies
Clients at Brynawel can participate in a number of experiential therapies as part of their drug and alcohol addiction program. Experiential group therapy sessions take place on campus and off grounds, and involve engaging in a range of physical, mental, and emotional challenges that promote trust, communication, and self-confidence. Clients may participate in surf therapy and other water activities, as well as mindfulness sessions that take place during beach walks. Alternative therapies such as yoga, art, meditation, and mindfulness sessions take place weekly. Clients are also offered canine therapy, with certified therapy dogs participating in group and 1-on-1 therapy sessions. Clients can pet and interact with the dogs, as studies show these interactions help reduce stress and anxiety. Patients may also engage in talk therapy while on walks with therapy dogs. A horticultural therapist leads garden therapy, the process of improving wellbeing through plants. Outdoor garden space offers a calm and safe environment to plant, grow, and nurture plants, offering relaxation and confidence building.
Family Programme
The family programme at Brynawel consists of multiple family therapy sessions, dependent on the clients needs. The client’s therapist works with the family to better understand their loved one’s addiction, improve communication, work through past trauma, and set and maintain healthy boundaries.
They offer aftercare services for both patients and their families, as well as a volunteer programme where alumni are able to return as volunteer workers. Aftercare home support, regular check-in, and crisis support if needed. Families can continue with 1-on-1 support as well as a monthly meeting as part of their aftercare services.
