What Makes Open Minds Different?

1. Treatment Designed for Life, Not Luxury

We don’t offer spas, saunas, or hotelstyle extras. 
We offer something far more valuable: 

  • evidencebased therapy 
  • daily routine 
  • emotional regulation 
  • accountability 
  • practical life skills 
  • community 
  • structure 

These are the foundations of longterm recovery. 

2. An Attractive, Comfortable Environment

 

Our environment is intentionally designed to feel safe and homely  
It reflects the real world — because that’s where recovery must work. 

Clients learn to: 

  • wake up on time 
  • maintain a routine 
  • manage emotions 
  • cook, clean, and care for themselves 
  • build healthy habits 
  • stay accountable 

This is recovery that prepares people for life, not for a retreat. 

3. Lived Experience at the Core of Our Team

    Every member of our core team is an experienced addiction counsellor who understands recovery personally — through their own journey or a family member’s. 

    This means: 

    • no judgement 
    • no clinical coldness 
    • no detachment 
    • no assumptions 

    Just honesty, empathy, and realworld understanding. 

    4. Accessible, Ethical Pricing

    We are committed to remaining one of the most accessible residential programmes in the UK. 

    Our pricing reflects our values: 

    • 7day medically supported detox: £2,950 
    • 10-day medically supported detox: £4250 
    • 14-day residential treatment (including detox): £5250 
    • 28day residential treatment (including detox): £7,950 
    • Extended stays up to 6 months available 

    We focus on what works — not what looks impressive — so ordinary families can access lifesaving care. 

    5. Structure, Routine, and Real‑World Skills

    Recovery thrives on consistency. 
    Our programme teaches: 

    • daily structure 
    • emotional regulation 
    • relapseprevention 
    • communication skills 
    • selfcare 
    • responsibility 
    • practical life skills 

    These are the tools that sustain recovery long after treatment ends. 

    6. Clear Expectations and Boundaries

    We don’t offer false comforts or empty promises. 

    We offer: 

    • clarity 
    • honesty 
    • accountability 
    • partnership with families 
    • boundaries that create safety 

    This is treatment that respects clients enough to tell the truth. 

    7. A Programme Built for Long‑Term Change.
