    What we specialise in at Primrose Lodge

    #

    At Primrose Lodge, we specialise in helping our clients achieve effective and lasting sobriety, utilising 5-key steps that allow us to provide effective help prior to, during, and beyond your stay with us:

    Understanding Addiction

    Understanding Addiction

    Addiction is a complex condition where individuals feel compelled to use substances or engage in behaviours despite negative effects. Addiction not only affects an individual’s physical health, leading to withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, and long-term damage, but also deeply impacts emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning. Overcoming addiction requires comprehensive treatment that addresses both the physical dependency and the psychological factors driving the behaviour. Through a combination of medical care, therapy, peer support, and structured rehabilitation at Primrose Lodge, individuals can reclaim control of their lives and build a substance-free future.

    Providing Safe Detox

    Providing Safe Detox

    Detox is a crucial first step in the recovery process, allowing the body to rid itself of harmful substances while managing withdrawal symptoms in a safe and controlled environment. Withdrawal can be physically and emotionally challenging, making professional mentoring essential to ensure safety and comfort. Our team is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive detox experience as we carefully monitor symptoms and help ease discomfort and reduce risks. Detox is not just about physical stabilisation, it sets the foundation for long-term recovery by preparing individuals for the next stages of treatment.

    Bespoke Holistic Rehab Treatments

    Offering Bespoke Holistic Rehab Treatments

    At Primrose Lodge, we understand that addiction is not just about the physical dependence on substances but also deeply intertwined with emotional and psychological factors. Our rehab treatments focus on uncovering and addressing the root causes of addiction, allowing individuals to heal holistically. We guide individuals toward emotional and mental recovery through a range of evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). Our programmes are designed to help you build sustainable coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and foster self-awareness.

    Long-Term Aftercare

    Promising Long-Term Aftercare

    Recovery doesn’t end when rehab treatment is complete. At Primrose Lodge, our aftercare services are designed to provide the ongoing support you need as you transition back into daily life. Our aftercare programme includes personalised plans that may involve ongoing therapy, support groups, and regular check-ins, ensuring that you have a strong network to rely on. Additionally, you will have access to our Alumni community, building on the support you will receive, so you can be rest assured that you will have the guidance and encouragement you need to thrive long after leaving rehab.

    Effective Relapse Prevention

    Ensuring Effective Relapse Prevention

    At Primrose Lodge, we understand that the path to lasting recovery is filled with challenges, and relapse can be a real concern. Our relapse prevention programme empowers you with the skills and strategies necessary to navigate these challenges effectively. We help you identify potential triggers and teach practical techniques to manage cravings and stress. Through ongoing support and personalised planning, we focus on building your resilience, self-awareness, and coping mechanisms. By equipping you with these essential tools, we ensure that you’re prepared to handle life’s ups and downs while maintaining a successful and sustained recovery.
