River Garden Auchincruive

Welcome to River Garden Auchincruive (RGA), a truly unique and transformative space dedicated to recovery.

Nestled on a stunning 47-acre estate on the west coast of Scotland - the historic land of Robert Burns and William Wallace offers beautiful gardens and woodland that provide the perfect setting for healing and growth.

We proudly operate a busy, abstinence-based therapeutic community, providing intensive and supportive recovery programmes for up to 24 men and women. Our recovery philosophy centres on the core principles of meaningful work, focused therapy, and genuine human connection.

We believe in an eclectic and person-centered approach. Whether your journey is rooted in the 12-Step programme, SMART Recovery, or you are charting your own distinct path, we are here to provide the expertise and dedicated support you need to achieve sustainable, long-term recovery.

You can find out more about our approach, the journey and life at River Garden.

What Recovery Orientated Care means to us:

“An entire network of formal and informal relationships and organisations that foster individual, familial, and community recovery processes over time.”  (Day et al, 2025)
