Priory Beacon House

Located in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, Priory Beacon House is a 17-bed residential addiction treatment service designed to offer more accessible care than traditional inpatient hospital programmes. Part of Priory's national network, Beacon House treats alcohol, drug, and behavioral addictions through its therapy-led residential Home to Flourish programme, delivered in a welcoming and homely setting. A free assessment helps determine the most suitable treatment pathway, and if clients need medically supported detox first, they can arrange it at another location and organise transport to Beacon House to ease the transition into treatment.

Practice Coping Skills Through Immersive Therapy

Treatment is personalised to each client's individual needs and goals, whether working toward abstinence or reducing harmful behaviors, through an experienced therapeutic team delivering trauma-informed therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, creative therapies, practical wellbeing sessions, and virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy. Using immersive VR technology, clients safely practice coping with cravings and triggers in realistic social or stressful situations before returning home. The programme also supports clients with treats gambling, gaming, social media, shopping, exercise, pornography, sex and love addiction, as well as work addiction.

Build Life Skills in a Home-Like Setting

Treatment begins with a minimum 14-day stay, with longer stays available based on goals and needs. Throughout, clients share daily routines, shop for groceries, plan meals, and cook together using a provided food budget. The programme includes community outings, and eligible clients may bring a pet following an individual assessment. Beacon House helps clients build confidence, coping skills, and the self-awareness needed to move towards a healthier, more fulfilling future.

Stay Supported During and After Treatment

Family involvement is central at Beacon House. Therapists stay in close contact with loved ones and facilitate a joint session, while clients staying 28 days or more receive a dedicated 1-day family programme and weekly family support groups. After a stay of 14 days or more, clients also gain 12 months of free online aftercare with weekly Zoom groups, plus Recovery 360, a digital tool that pairs a Bluetooth breathalyser with a tracking app and optional monitoring by Priory specialists.
