UK Addiction Treatment Centres Reviews

Life changing experience, the therapy team and support staff were fantastic.

Where to start! I arrived at Banbury Lodge physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically utterly broken, like a plate smashed into a hundred pieces. I did not even know if I could be put back together and was daunted and overwhelmed on admission. The first few days were hard to navigate, but by day 4 I knew this was one of the best decisions I had ever made. During my journey at Banbury Lodge, I met so many kind, supportive and compassionate individuals. The programme is designed to inspire you to become the best version of yourself, your authentic self. The therapy, one-to-one sessions and process groups feel like safe and confidential spaces, allowing you to unburden your traumas and give space to learn and heal. The programme is holistic and I loved Gladys the pet therapy dog, the sound bath sessions and daily meditation sessions. Not a fan of yoga, but if you are, they do that too. Shout out to all the amazing other residents I had the pleasure of spending time with. I know many of us are keeping in touch and I have made some new lifelong friends, especially the karaoke group. Who knew \"I Will Survive\" could be sung so badly. I now play it after my meditation every morning and have a dance. The staff at the lodge are lovely. Kat and Anne Marie, thank you for the wonderful food you cooked. From Graham at reception, Eve the housekeeper, Nick the manager, all the therapists and support workers, I am truly blessed and grateful to you all. I intended to stay for 2 weeks but realised I needed 3, so nearly a month on from entering Banbury Lodge, how has my life changed? Everything in my life has changed for the better. I look back and wonder who that person was. My time in Banbury Lodge has given me back my zest for life, the ability to live in the present, and to have gratitude for all that I have. Chaos has become simple routines and serenity. If you have got to a point where enough is enough, whatever your addiction, and you want to do this for yourself, not family, work or friends but you, then I cannot recommend Banbury Lodge highly enough. I would give 10 stars if I could. Forever truly grateful to everyone who helped me fix the broken version of me, piece by piece. Also, to anyone reading, they have a supportive aftercare programme in place, so the care and support continues after discharge.

I found it really good and informative. It has helped me a lot and given me a lot of skills.

Excellent service, pleasant staff. Would commend the service.

Everything was ok

The staff and peers have been great. Food was excellent. Glad I came i was such a mess before I came, now I am going home a different man.

Everything you need is here.I was educated around addiction and now know I cannot drink alcohol again.

Treatment is good and helped me a lot for my recovery

Staff are all very good and supportive and a wide range of treatment is given

After 31 days at Banbury Lodge, I can genuinely say that I am leaving here a different person, optimistic about life and moving forward with my recovery journey. The staff are brilliant and the community works together to support each other. The group sessions, including a strong focus on step work and therapeutic topics, ensure recovery is always at the forefront of time at Banbury Lodge. I have had my ups and downs during my time here, including two new diagnoses, ADHD and complex PTSD, following a very thorough psychiatric assessment arranged by the centre. This gives me more hope for a balanced life that I need now I am returning home. I have been listened to and consistently allowed to share, being treated fairly and respectfully, even in times when I may not have acted in the most rational of manners. From management to housekeeping, everyone has been approachable and friendly and I have learned so much from both staff and the community during my time at Banbury Lodge. Coming back from a significant relapse was hard to say the least, but I am genuinely leaving here a different person, a better version of myself. Thanks to everyone, positive vibes and best of luck in a happy life and recovery moving forward. PS Suki and Katie are amazing people, others too, but I love these two in particular.
