Hawthorn Lodge Recovery Centre

Verified listing

Rougham, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

Hawthorn Lodge Recovery Centre is a 22-bed private residential rehab set in six acres of gardens and woodland on the edge of Rougham village, a few minutes from Bury St Edmunds. Since opening in 2011 the centre has specialised in medically managed detox and abstinence-based treatment for alcohol, drug and prescription medication addiction, alongside care for co-occurring anxiety, depression and trauma.

Every client is admitted under the care of a consultant psychiatrist and a nurse-led medical team available 24 hours a day. Treatment combines evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT with 12-step facilitation, holistic therapies and a structured family programme, so that recovery continues well beyond the residential stay.

The centre is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and offers rapid admission, often within 24 to 48 hours of the initial assessment call.

About this clinic

Hawthorn Lodge occupies a converted Victorian farmhouse with a purpose-built therapy wing. Clients stay in private en-suite rooms and follow a full therapeutic timetable of group work, individual counselling and wellbeing activities, with a maximum of eight clients per therapy group.

Our multidisciplinary team includes a consultant psychiatrist, registered mental health nurses, accredited (BACP and FDAP) addiction counsellors, a family therapist and a fitness coach. Each client receives an individual treatment plan that is reviewed weekly, and discharge planning starts from the first week so that the move home is gradual and supported.

After treatment, clients join our 12-month aftercare programme with weekly online and in-person groups, plus access to our alumni network.
