I cannot thank The Providence Projects enough for saving my life. I was unable to handle my addiction myself and since my time there, my life has completely changed. The staff are incredible and the work they do is outstanding. I would recommend the centre to anyone struggling with any type of addiction. They have completely eradicated my old negative habits.
AFFORDABLE REHAB FOR BRISTOL
Drug & Alcohol Rehab Bristol
At Providence Projects, we are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate rehabilitation services to individuals in Bristol and the surrounding areas. Our approach is holistic, addressing not only the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to substance misuse.
We understand that each individual’s journey to recovery is unique, and we tailor our programmes to meet the specific needs of our clients.
Understanding Addiction in Bristol
Bristol, like many urban centres in the UK, faces significant challenges related to substance misuse. The city has notably high rates of drug use, particularly concerning opiates and crack cocaine.
Estimates suggest that there are approximately 5,000 users of these substances in Bristol, a rate almost double the national average. Additionally, the South West region, which includes Bristol, has the highest levels of drug use in England and Wales, with cannabis being the most commonly used substance.
Alcohol misuse also presents a significant public health concern. Bristol recorded nearly 200 alcohol-related deaths annually, and the city had 10,773 admissions to hospital for alcohol-related conditions in a single year, equating to nearly 3,000 admissions per 100,000 people.
Why Choose Providence Projects for Rehab in Bristol?
Although there are rehab options in Bristol, many people choose to begin their recovery away from home. This can provide a safe space, free from triggers and temptations, allowing you to focus entirely on your recovery. Our residential rehab centre, based in Bournemouth, offers a comfortable and structured environment with daily therapeutic support.
We also provide free transport from Bristol to our rehab clinic, so you can focus solely on your recovery from the moment you make the decision to seek help.

Nobody wants to go to rehab right? Especially not again but I can honestly say that from the moment I arrived at the provi I just knew it was going to be ok. Instantly I felt understood, safe, loved, supported and most importantly not alone. You are not just another problem on a conveyor belt being churned in and spat out. You are you, everyone there wants you to find the real and better, beautiful and happy you. Every member of staff takes so much interest and is so eager to help its infectious. They are a truly wonderful team who together are offering the greatest gift in the world – life and I will always be forever grateful 🙏

I fell into the Provvy in Jan 2013. My life had no direction, it was very dark & I had no hope left. My whole being revolved around alcohol.
The guys at the Provvy taught me a new way to live a day at a time. I haven’t had to take a drink since that day 9th Jan 2013.
I will forever be grateful to all the team there. They showed me so much patience,time & unconditional love. I left after 3 months with some hope & direction to build on. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Providence Projects. Absolute angels.

Went into the Provy a drunk, was at my lowest, depressed, crap mother, a shell of the person I once was. I was so welcomed straight away by all the amazing staff and peers. The programme works if you want it. I left sober, confident and positive, the old Jenny back. Best decision ever made. Could not recommend it enough. I love the provy crew!! Taught me the skills and tools to deal with this illness and loving life.

My daughter went to Provy in August 2022 and left there six weeks later. I just knew when searching rehabs that this was the one. It took a long time to get her to realise that she desperately needed help. She gave it everything , bonding with fellow patients, and the staff who were incredible. I seem to cry more now for being so grateful to Provy that she has just completed 2 years sober. It works if you really believe and I as a mum could not be happier than to see my daughter living her best life. Thank you Provy x
