You’ll receive a medically assisted detox, if needed, and take part in regular one-to-one and group therapy sessions. You’ll also be supported by a consultant psychiatrist and have access to a range of holistic wellbeing activities, while you’re with us, designed to support both your mental and physical health.
We also provide family support throughout your stay, and once you leave, you’ll benefit from 12 months of free aftercare to help you maintain your progress and stay connected.

Your treatment begins with a 7 to 10-day medically assisted detox in a safe and supportive environment, followed by 9 structured day care sessions designed to help you develop practical strategies for long-term recovery.
You’ll be supported by experienced therapists and benefit from specialist psychological input, weekly family support sessions, and 12 months of free aftercare to help you stay connected and maintain progress after your stay.
Reset 7/10
Reset 7/10 is Priory’s medically assisted detox programme.

Sessions are usually delivered once a week and can take place either online or face-to-face – depending on what works best for you. With a format that fits around your life, Anchor 1:1 is ideal for people seeking ongoing support without a residential stay, or for anyone stepping down from more intensive treatment who would benefit from continued therapeutic input.
At Woodbourne, we recognise that everyone we support has different needs, which is why we adopt a holistic approach to your therapy programme in order to overcome issues that may have led to your addiction.
