Life Works House

Life Works House, part of Priory, gives adults a 17-bed, therapy-led residential option for alcohol, drug and behavioural addictions in Old Woking, Surrey. The Flourish programme runs in a non-medical Georgian manor house for people who do not need medical detox or ongoing medical care. Stays last 14, 28 or 42 days, or longer where needed, and a free assessment recommends the right level of support.

Understand Triggers and Practise Coping Skills

Treatment combines group therapy, one-to-one sessions, psychoeducation, creative therapies and recovery-focused activities, shaped around each person's needs. The programme supports both abstinence and harm reduction, while exposure work and virtual reality (VR) tools let residents practise handling real-world situations safely. Fitness classes, relaxation sessions and community trips add variety, and residents may bring a pet, subject to a risk assessment.

Relax in a Georgian Manor with Private Gardens

The Grade II listed manor house offers deluxe bedrooms with modern en-suite bathrooms, welcoming shared spaces, a client lounge, an on-site library, basic gym equipment and an on-site kitchen. Meals are included as part of the stay, with catering that adapts to individual dietary needs. Outside, landscaped private gardens provide space for badminton, croquet, football, table tennis and countryside walks nearby.

Stay Supported with 12 Months of Free Aftercare

Residents who complete a minimum 14-day stay at Life Works House receive 12 months of free online aftercare, including weekly online support sessions that keep people connected and motivated while they keep using the skills developed in treatment. Free access to Recovery 360, Priory's digital recovery tool, adds structure and progress tracking beyond residential treatment through a three-month initial plan that can extend.
