Don’t just take our word for it…
Robert said: “Thank you for making me feel comfortable and very well looked after.
Cassiobury Court provides a 24-hour care and support. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my needs.
If you have a desire to be clean and sober, Cassiobury Court will give you a solid foundation of knowledge and experience and a chance of a sober recovery.”
Maggie said: “I spent two weeks at Cassiobury Court for alcohol addiction. It has been the best decision I have made in a very long time, and I have started the long, hard journey in recovery.
Excellent medical and emotional support was provided during the detox phase of my story.
The residential programme is well designed and structured to allow enough free time for personal reflection and relaxation. The days and some nights are fairly lousy and emotionally taxing with workshops and AA/CA meetings.
Two things I can mention as personal highlights are the daily walks in the beautiful Cassiobury park and the phototherapy workshop. The latter had changed my view on mindfulness completely.”
