PROGRAMMES
Secondary Treatment
At The Providence Projects, we offer secondary treatment options ranging from four weeks up to the full-term twelve-week programme.
28-day programmes are popular but research demonstrates that longer treatment does result in better long-term outcomes. We understand that the thought of being away from home for any longer than four weeks may seem daunting but it’s also really important that you give yourself the best chance possible.
Welcome
On admission, all clients agree to a 28 day stay and then have the option to extend on to our secondary programme after successfully completing the initial 28-day primary programme. Of course, this is not viable for everyone for a range of reasons but is a fantastic opportunity if you are able to do so.
Soul Searching
The secondary programme at The Providence Projects is a great way to solidify the progress made during the 28-day rehab programme. For example, addiction or alcoholism is often a symptom of a deeper issue and whilst secondary treatment shares many similarities with primary care, clients at this stage are often more able to explore, address and resolve issues that may have proved too much in those early days. This optional programme involves further soul searching.
Relapse Prevention
We put a clear focus on relapse prevention identifying individual blocks and resources to recovery, putting together plans for a range of scenarios. This relapse prevention work along with peer evaluations all contribute to the reintegration planning for a smooth return to the community.
Beyond Quick Fixes
We realise that in the Western world particularly, we look for quick fixes or a pill to make us feel better. So many people who present for treatment with us have tried a range of medications, hypnotherapy, moving towns, changing relationships, or jobs only to find their alcohol or drug use stayed the same or worsened. Unfortunately, treatment for addiction can take a little time and many clients see moving on to our second stage programme as a natural progression where they will stay from two to eight weeks.

I’ve been a client at Providence for over six months, experiencing a full spectrum of emotions, but the prevailing feeling has been a profound sense of connection and belonging. The atmosphere is one of love, unity, and genuine friendship. Regardless of which counselor you’re assigned to, all the staff are approachable and offer invaluable advice. Their unwavering knowledge and caring nature have genuinely saved my life. The entire Providence team, including clerical and support staff, has given me the strength and enthusiasm to apply what I’ve learned. As I leave, I’ll carry Providence in my heart and prayers forever. Thank you.

Providence has saved my life. When I arrived, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained; without this rehab, I’d be dead. They helped me rebuild my confidence and discover my true self. The counselors, especially Dougie, were incredibly understanding and crucial to my progress. After 12 weeks and now in aftercare, I finally know what I want for the first time in 24 years and am confident I’ll achieve my dreams. I highly recommend Providence to anyone seeking to overcome addiction. Even in aftercare, I miss Provi already and am deeply grateful. Thank you.

I can’t thank The Providence Project and its amazing team enough. What was supposed to be a four-week stay turned into six months because it was life-changing. As a single mother, leaving my daughter was hard, but it was worth it. The program helped me overcome my addiction to sleeping tablets and taught me valuable life skills, making me a better mother and person. This place gave me my life back and my daughter “a better mummy.” To any mother worried about treatment due to separation, it’s worth it—the benefits are priceless. Going to The Providence Project was the best decision I’ve made, and I’m forever grateful. Sarah x

The Providence Projects is a special place that saved my life when I had nothing left to give. The counselors are amazing, genuinely caring, and encourage you to be yourself in a supportive environment. They provide a deep understanding of addiction and the tools to prevent relapses. Since leaving The Prov, I am proud to live my life as a recovering addict. I will recommend The Providence Projects to anyone in need, as the possibilities it offers are endless.

I arrived at the Provy lost and broken after years of addiction and failed treatments, but something felt different here. From reception to support staff, everyone made me feel loved until I could love myself. For the first time, I received the help, knowledge, and tools I needed for lasting recovery. The unique approach, the supportive groups, and the house where I lived were crucial to my healing. Near death at the end of my addiction, I owe my life to Providence and my counselor, Clinton. Nearly two years clean and sober, I’m proud to be part of the Provy family, where the door is always open and the support is unwavering.

Providence has changed my life completely. From living a life with no hope, this place has taught my how to live again. The group therapy and 1-1 counselling really helped me to discover who I am and what I want from life, free from drugs and alcohol. The staff are excellent and I know I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. I’d recommend Providence to anyone who needs help. Give it a go and you won’t regret it.
Personal Therapists
Our secondary rehab phase connects clients will their own personal therapist. They can work through a set of agreed goals to continue to increase the chances of long-term recovery. These issues are of course different for each client but may include self-esteem, boundaries, relapse prevention, adverse childhood experiences, relationships, the 12 steps, shame and guilt, thinking errors, shame and guilt, families and much more.
Focusing on Reintegration
During the second stage programme, there is also a focus on reintegration. All of our programmes have been designed to make this process as smooth as possible but it is of course still a big transition to leave the support of The Providence Projects and return to the real world in its entirety. Clients will have the opportunity to work closely with their therapist, their peer group and their loved ones during this process and home visits may also be a key part of this transition.
We also work closely with a range of agencies across the United Kingdom and can arrange referrals for any ongoing support you may require including organisation such as Alcoholics Anonymous and employment advisors.
