Choose The Providence Projects
A Warm Welcome to The Providence Projects

Founded in 1996 by Dr Peter Turnbull and Steve Spiegel, The Providence Projects is widely accepted as a UK-leading residential private rehabilitation centre. Situated in Bournemouth, on the beautiful Dorset coast, this really is the perfect place to start your recovery journey.

We really do understand the illness of addiction but know from experience, that with the right help, anyone is able to recover from addiction. Having treated over 10,000 people since opening our doors in 1996, The Providence Projects’ team have the expertise, passion and love to help you overcome addiction.

We have helped many take life back under their control with the intuitive therapeutic programme we use, including Matt Willis, co-founder, bassist and co-vocalist of the pop-punk band Busted. With our help, you can do it too, look forward to the future, and forget about worrying about the past with The Provy’s comprehensive treatment plans and dedicated professional support.

See The Providence Projects in the BBC award winning documentary with Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction
A truly inspirational story of how addiction can seem like an overwhelming long-term fight, but even if you lose a battle, you can still win the war. After treatment at the Providence Projects, Matt Willis went on to celebrate a long period of addiction-free life.

I did rehab at Providence Projects. I had been to three other residential rehab centres but this was perfect. I had a life changing experience there.

Treatment Approach
Free assessment
When you contact our residential rehab, we will organise a free initial assessment during which we will talk about your addiction problem and general health. This is a non-invasive process.
Admission
Our admission process is intuitive and quick. Once you arrive at the clinic, you will be guided by one of our staff. After a quick introduction to the life at The Provy, you will be able to get accustomed to your new temporary home.
Detoxification
This will be the first step of your treatment. Not every addiction requires a detox, but if you do need one, you will benefit from our top-tier medical team and the comfort of our detox facilities.
Therapy and Relapse Prevention
We focus on relapse prevention through traditional and holistic therapies. You will attend CBT, DBT and other sessions in both individual and group settings within dedicated rooms at our residential facilities.
Aftercare
One year free aftercare and permanent entry into our Alumni network. Once you complete your programme with us, we will continue supporting you and your loved ones through the recovery process.

Jon is the admissions manager and oversees the process from your first contact through to the day you start treatment. He joined us at The Providence Projects in 2008 and is able to take you through the entire admission process. He will explain how the treatment works, help you arrange transport into rehab, liaise with the family and be your point of reference right through to the day you start treatment. It would be fair to say that Jon is the gatekeeper!
