About Clouds House
Clouds House was founded in 1983 and since then has been helping clients with drug and alcohol addictions as well as the co-occurring mental health disorders. They base their program on the 12-Step Program and use modern, up-to-date research. They offer group therapy, individual therapy, 24 hour medical care, relapse prevention, on-site detox, and addiction-and-psychiatric assessments. They provide after care every week on Wednesdays at Clouds House and Tuesdays in central London. Clouds House treats private paid clients, those who have private insurance, and sometimes those who are recipients of state funding. The belief of Clouds House is that community is vital to recovery, so they encourage their clients to participate in community events and outings. They are registered by the Care Quality Commission.
Clouds House is a beautiful country home in the village of East Knoyle. All meals are freshly prepared by chefs and suit all clients’ dietary requirements. Bedrooms are shared because they believe it encourages hope and solidarity. Clouds House can accommodate 38 people at any time. They offer gender-specific accommodations. They provide a women's only lounge and gender-specific communal living area. Clouds House has group therapy, relaxation and mindfulness sessions, and yoga.

Located in the heart of rural Wiltshire, Clouds House is a Grade II* listed building in the beautiful village of East Knoyle. Designed by architect Philip Webb, Clouds House has provided life-changing treatment for addiction since 1983. The house is private and secluded with stunning scenery.
Over the years, we've helped thousands of people lead a healthy and rewarding life, but as former Clouds House resident, A.A Gill would attest, our purpose is not to pamper, it is to save lives. There is strong evidence that peer-to-peer support makes recovery more likely and more secure.
All our meals are freshly prepared on the premises by our excellent team of chefs and kitchen staff who lovingly prepare menus to suit all dietary requirements. Good food and communal meal times bring people together and are an integral part of our treatment philosophy.
