What Makes Open Minds Different?
1. Treatment Designed for Life, Not Luxury
We don’t offer spas, saunas, or hotel‑style extras.
We offer something far more valuable:
- evidence‑based therapy
- daily routine
- emotional regulation
- accountability
- practical life skills
- community
- structure
These are the foundations of long‑term 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 real‑world 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:
- 7‑day medically supported detox: £2,950
- 10-day medically supported detox: £4250
- 14-day residential treatment (including detox): £5250
- 28‑day 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 life‑saving care.
5. Structure, Routine, and Real‑World Skills
Recovery thrives on consistency.
Our programme teaches:
- daily structure
- emotional regulation
- relapse‑prevention
- communication skills
- self‑care
- 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.
