The Recovery Lodge

Hi my name is Paula and attended the-lodge for 3 months although I only booked in for 10 days. I was so happy with the lovely staff everyone made me feel so at home and welcome. And I wasn’t a perfect patient when I was detoxing. My standards are high and everyone at the lodge was so so friendly and caring. It’s like being on holiday it’s just great you won’t regret it I promise. Paula Savastano xx.

I had a very bad experience at this rehab same time last year. Been in 2 rehabs before so I have reliable benchmarks. Based on my experience I would say avoid this place and go elsewhere, there are lots of better residential rehabs out there – some even free, but certainly many at this price level (they are very expensive for what they offer). The buildings are not ‘fit for purpose’ and get very cold & draughty in Winter, hence my reason for placing this warning review now. Neither are they spacious or particularly comfortable. Part of my bad experience was a large financial loss, which brought me into contact with the owner of this private enterprise, this contact led me to have grave doubts as to his suitability to be involved in therapeutic work of any kind. In fact I had serious reservations about many of the staff including administrators, medics and counsellors/therapists. It is effectively self-catering and I saw issues and practices that made me question how hygienic the place was, very important for those entering treatment. So, do yourself a favour and make other plans, I did and am still clean & sober and very glad I made a lucky escape!Moreexpand_more
