Encouraging, stimulating and promoting a drug-free lifestyle in a working society
Finding a sustainable, meaningful and fulfilling alternative to the chaotic lifestyle associated with substance misuse is often all that stands between a life filled with hope and an existence consumed by despair. To help men engage with that adventure is the reason Willowdene Rehabilitation exists.
Encouraging
Broken, isolated, desperate and without hope; consigned to an existence filled with failure, fear and disappointment. That is a self-description that would fit most of the men who come to Willowdene Rehabilitation to receive opportunities for rehabilitation and training. From the moment they step through the gate, Willowdene Rehabilitation offers encouragement to dream of and seize a better future: filled with hope, opportunities and fulfillment.
Stimulating
Willowdene Rehabilitation provides an environment filled with purposeful stimulation. From creative leisure opportunities to challenging daily work-based activities, residents find themselves surrounded by opportunities to extend themselves and use their time constructively. With woodland walks, well stocked fish-pools, fully equipped carpentry, welding and engineering workshops among the facilities offered, there is never a shortage of active stimulation for residents. The only limit is the limit of their imagination
Promoting
One-on-one therapy, daily ‘workplace’ activities, formal skills-based training, and structured leisure throughout the nine month programme promotes a purposeful, fulfilling drug-free life in a working society. Residents engage with the issues that have kept them trapped in addiction, overcoming emotional and social blockages. They develop a strong work ethic through daily activities that, together with structured training, establishes a firm foundation for a purposeful future.
