About Sanctuary Lodge
Nestled in the Essex countryside, Sanctuary Lodge offers clients a nurturing environment to receive life-saving rehabilitation for substance and behavioural dependencies. Their detox and residential programmes aim to treat addiction from every angle, offering effective remedies for a client’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Start a Healthier Life With Proven Therapies
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery treatment at Sanctuary Lodge. Each client receives a tailored combination of treatments to help them sustain long-term recovery. Clients break from substance dependency through medical detox, followed by a blend of the 12-Step approach, traditional psychotherapies such as counselling, and Eastern practices like yoga, gong bath meditation, and acupuncture. Detox, when necessary, is completed under medical guidance.

Clients stay in 19 en-suite bedrooms and 5 shared rooms, completely refurbished and decorated to a very high standard. A dedicated chef prepares nutritious meals using fresh ingredients and local produce, with dietary accommodations made whenever possible.
