My experience in treatment at Sanctuary Lodge has been a positive experience. I have engaged in all the treatment sessions and activities. This is my second stay in rehab at the lodge following a lapse in my sobriety. I came with the intention of resetting and revisiting the tools and behaviours that will enable me to stay in sobriety. I have been welcomed back without judgement and have benefitted from my stay. I am grateful for the time spent back in the fold.
Overall my experience was excellent.

Recovery Lighthouse Review
An amazing experience, best money have ever spent on my sobriety
Cleanliness needs improving
Welcoming helpful sometimes difficult to understand
On the 7th of. November 2026 i came to linwood house to rehabilitate from a serious problem with cocaine. Upon arrival I was welcomed and looked after very well. This continued throughout.
All staff including therapists are professional and work so hard to give you the best advice they can.
I highly recommend this place,

Recovery Lighthouse Review
My experience has been very joyful and happy
Always something to do
Really helpful organisation with such supportive workers. THANKS!!
Thank you for your review
Linwood saved my life. I had heard and knew about the 12 step programme but was never really shown it. Now I have a framework to live the life deserve. The people I have met will forever be in my thoughts. Im hugely grateful 🙂
Thank you for your review it is great to hear you have been given a new lease of life through the 12 steps
Stepping into rehab I was confused, lost and angry and quite honestly didn’t want to be there. The first few days I was focussed on leaving, but the support of therapists and key workers kept me safe and enabled me to stay, one day at a time. Gradually those days turned into weeks and I knew I was in the right place. I am so glad I stayed.
Kerry was fantastic as my therapist, allowing me a safe space to express myself and discuss whatever I needed at any given time. She was always in tune with how I was feeling or what I was going through, even making the effort to check in more frequently with me when she knew I was having a particularly tough time.
The variety and intensity of therapy was tough, but so worthwhile. I can now see a happy and healthy life ahead of me which I had never imagined would be possible for me before. Thank you Sanctuary Lodge!
Thank you for your review it is wonderful to hear you enjoyed the wide range of therapies on offer and have a solid foundation for recovery looking forward to hearing from you about your recovery journey through alumni
