Unrivalled rehab facilities in the vibrant seaside town of Bournemouth

Rehab Facilities at Providence Projects

Welcome to Providence Projects, where expert care, compassion, and a structured approach to healing guide your journey to recovery.

Located in the vibrant coastal town of Bournemouth, Dorset, Providence Projects provides a supportive and restorative environment for detox, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery planning. With a reputation built on decades of experience, our centre combines professional excellence with a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring you feel safe, understood, and empowered as you take this life-changing step.

When The Provy opened its doors to clients, the founders, Steve Spiegel and Dr Peter Turnbull agreed on a core set of principles which would shape life at The Provy. At the heart of these principles were to ensure that all clients were treated with love, kindness, dignity and respect.

We took the opportunity at a recent annual reunion to ask some of our ex-clients about their experience of Life at The Provy.

It is quite difficult to put into words, the miracles that happen. Life at The Provy can of course be challenging and emotional but this is greatly outweighed by the love, laughter and life as a result of the programme, the team and the wonderful friendships made.

Outdoor & Coastal Setting

Being in Bournemouth means clients have access to fresh sea air, open spaces, and the grounding calm of the coast. From mindful walks to moments of quiet reflection, the natural surroundings play an important role in recovery.

Getting to Know the Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities

When you arrive at The Provy, you will be greeted by one of our counsellors and a member of the support team who will complete your admission and induction. This will be finalised by our Doctor. Whilst you are being inducted, your bags will be taken to your bedroom for you.

All clients who attend a treatment programme at The Provy are provided with their own room. We’ve found that this takes away a lot of anxiety as in many centres clients may be expected to share bedrooms. The accommodation is very much home from home, and the house is equipped with full Wi-Fi, flat screen television and all required kitchenware and utensils.

Life at The Provy is about change. When you put the alcohol or the drugs down, change is essential to give yourself the best chance possible of a long-term recovery.

Secondary Care & Aftercare

One of the hallmarks of Providence Projects is the commitment to long-term recovery through our comprehensively designed treatment pathway. We offer structured secondary care programmes and comprehensive aftercare services to support clients as they transition back into everyday life.

Making miracles happen daily

Our Detox Centre: Safe and Supported Detoxification

At Providence Projects, our Detox Centre provides a secure and supportive environment for individuals beginning their journey to recovery in our primary care programme. Here, clients live on-site and receive constant supervision from our dedicated detox team, ensuring their safety and wellbeing throughout the detox process.

Our team closely monitors each client, offering medical guidance, emotional support, and personalised care to manage withdrawal symptoms effectively. This structured environment allows clients to stabilise physically and mentally before transitioning to a greater level of independence.

Once clients are ready, they move into our sober facility, where they continue their rehabilitation while engaging in therapy, life skills development, and community support. The Detox Centre is the first step in a carefully guided path, giving individuals the confidence and stability needed to succeed in the next phase of recovery.

Why Providence Projects Works

At Providence Projects, recovery goes beyond treatment; it’s about building the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling future.

Clients become part of a supportive community while developing essential life skills. From preparing meals and managing daily routines to taking part in activities that encourage independence and resilience, every element of the programme is designed to prepare clients for life beyond rehab.

The beachside location in Bournemouth adds a unique dimension to recovery. Regular walks, outdoor activities, and time in nature support both physical wellbeing and emotional balance. Combined with personalised therapy programmes, holistic care, and structured guidance, Providence Projects offers an environment where clients can truly heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
