At White River Manor, recovery is more than just overcoming addiction—it’s about rediscovering oneself and rebuilding a life with purpose. Up to 6 clients at a time are welcomed by a top-tier team that makes them feel cared for, respected, understood, and brave enough to face their challenges and choose differently. With bespoke care, 24-hour support, elegant accommodations, and time to explore the region, clients gain the breakthrough they need.

Find Comfort in a Personalised Treatment Plan

Most clients stay at White River Manor between 28 to 120 days, depending on the substance use, behavioural, or mental health concern bringing them to treatment. Staff work with each client to develop a custom programme that will work for them based on a combination of the 12 Steps and therapies including: traditional talk therapy, music and art therapy, equine therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-specific treatments like eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR).

Enjoy 5-Star Lodging Near a National Park

White River Manor offers private villas with TVs, luxurious bathrooms, outdoor showers, and, in some cases, a garden and plunge pool. Rooms are serviced daily with evening turndown and full laundry. The cuisine is prepared by a professional chef and enjoyed around a communal table or at the café with fine coffee and fresh pastries. Guests can relax with spa treatments, time in the gym or pool, or in quiet moments on the river deck or in tranquil gardens.

Stay in Touch with Work and Loved Ones

Although White River Manor encourages clients to focus on recovery during their stay, they understand that not everyone can completely separate themselves from work and life at home for a month or more. They provide Wi-Fi and allow mobile phone use at designated times to help clients manage professional and family responsibilities.

Sustain Positive Change After Treatment

After treatment ends, White River Manor develops a personalised aftercare plan to ease each client’s transition home. This may include continued therapy, support group recommendations, on-site sober living, and access to resources that reinforce recovery. Their team remains available for ongoing guidance, ensuring clients have the tools needed to maintain their progress and thrive.
