We offer a diverse list of services to assist with recovery, and are passionate about helping others

Primrose Lodge Team

At Primrose Lodge, we believe the success of our treatment programmes is intrinsically tied to our staff. Therefore, we have invested quite a bit in recruiting and retaining some of the best professionals in the business. From therapists and counsellors to support staff, the Primrose Lodge team has the knowledge and experience to effectively treat each and every client. What’s more, many of our staff have undergone recovery of their own, giving them a unique perspective that enables them to understand what each of our clients is going through.

Patients successfully completing treatment programmes at Primrose Lodge are quick to give us positive feedback. This feedback lets us know we are succeeding in our mission to help addicts and their families fully recover. If you are looking for recovery for yourself or a loved one, we believe our professional staff and commitment to patients makes Primrose Lodge one of the best places for recovery.

Allow us to introduce a few key members of our staff:

Carl Bossley - Support Worker
Carl Bossley
Support Worker
For me, understanding that it's possible to live a life you would not even think was available. My experience with being able to work as a team for the clients at primrose lodge following small conversations and realisations they have towards being clean and sober are small victories over life holding them back for a long duration of time.
Extremely passionate about the life change that recovery brings to someone, the clients and the transformations inspire, I am able to witness the growth. I am in recovery myself and have been for the last 4 years, i completely identify with the hopeless, inadequate feeling that seems to be upon us when trying to become clean and sober.
