about us

Set in 22 acres of beautiful Cornish gardens, meadows and woodland, Bosence provides a peaceful and tranquil environment where residents can concentrate on getting well, free from distraction. Our serene and nurturing environment provides space for residents to reflect and focus, with a variety of open spaces, a sensory garden and woodland walk.

At Bosence nature is utilised as a tool to support recovery and features as a fundamental component of the treatment we deliver. We offer a ‘Recovery in Nature’ programme consisting of 10 unique sessions including: ‘Forest Bathing & Mindfulness’, ‘Nature Hunt’, ‘Herbal Tea Making’ and ‘Nature-inspired outdoor drawing’. Complementary Therapies are provided by trained practitioners and include: Mindfulness, Reflexology, Message, Auricular Acupuncture, Yoga & Tai-Chi.

Our spacious grounds enable us to offer a diverse range of additional activities such as: DIY, arts & crafts, pottery and music workshops. We also make use of the surrounding area with visits to places of interest and local attractions.

Our highly experienced team of professionals have a proven track record of achieving excellent outcomes for our clients. Treatment is person-centred and while rooted in the principles of the 12-step recovery process, is tailored to meet personal needs and goals. Each resident has their own individual care plan that serves as a roadmap for their time with us.

The structured daily programmes at Bosence provide residents with the necessary tools and skills required to maintain long term recovery and include: Group Therapy, Healthy Relationship Groups, Educational Workshops, Compassionate Self-Discovery and Health & Well-being Sessions. We are committed to Trauma informed care and recognise the necessity to address the underlying wounds that fuel addictive behaviours.

Both services aim to offer the highest quality residential treatment services combined with value for money. Our services are centred on our service users’ needs. We exist solely to help people recover from drug and alcohol addiction.

We want to see a society where every person suffering from substance misuse can receive high quality treatment and support to meet their needs, and help them become fulfilled and productive members of their community.

We fully support the Recovery Agenda by providing detoxification, stabilisation and rehabilitation in safe and peaceful surroundings.

Our detoxification and rehabilitation services operate separately but can be purchased as a package.
