Your Supportive Home
The Residential Programme
The heart of River Garden is our supportive residential community, offering an immersive journey of up to six months on our beautiful estate. This is where the profound work of recovery happens - living and learning alongside your peers, a dedicated staff team, and supportive volunteers.
A Life of Purpose and Balance
We create a structured yet peaceful environment where you will discover a rewarding balance between activity and calm:
- Purposeful Occupation: You are encouraged to be busy and fully engage in our holistic model, which includes meaningful work in our work-based programme (like the café and gardens), vital internal work in our therapeutic programme, and joyous connection in our activity programme.
- Mindful Living: While busy, we ensure there is dedicated time to relax, breathe, and be mindful. This balance of structure and reflection is key to building a sustainable, sober life.
Reconnecting with the World
An essential part of the River Garden experience is positive reintegration. You will have opportunities to interact with the public through our social enterprises - such as serving customers in The Bothy Café or working in our beautiful gardens. These interactions help you rebuild social confidence and feel connected to the wider community.
Living Environment
River Garden offers a safe and comfortable shared living arrangement. We ensure that men and women have separate accommodation areas within our shared living spaces, fostering a respectful and secure environment for everyone in the community.
Here, you will find more than just a programme; you will find a supportive home dedicated to helping you build a confident, thriving future.
