Their skilled and multidisciplinary team builds individual aftercare plans as part of clients’ continuous care. 12-Step gatherings, support teams, online tools, and a recovery coach are all included in aftercare. Harmony Clinic’s inpatient program lasts for 30 days, while a prolonged stay is possible if necessary.

Alcohol
I arrived at Harmony Clinic feeling the most terrified I have been in my entire life (49 years old). I was overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, shame and self loathing. I'd been hiding alcohol, drinking in secret, lying, denying I had a problem...but it was so very obvious to my family and close friends. I was desperate for help and Harmony saved my life! It was an opportunity to press pause on my life journey and figure out what had got me into this deep, dark black hole.I found my answers and healing at Harmony with the help of supportive, non-judgemental staff, councillors, psychologists and psychiatrists. I felt a sense of community with other addicts as we all understood the struggle and suffering of addiction and through sharing openly and honestly I formed deep friendships. The accommodation was comfortable with a rustic, dormitory feel. The food was delicious, plentiful and I really enjoyed the opportunity to sit together in the dinning room with other addicts and enjoy our meals. Another favorite was sitting outside under the trees, overlooking a beautiful pond with the sound of trickling water, surrounded by mountains, nature and the sound of birdlife at tea times. Although I accepted that I needed help and the only chance of recovery was rehab I struggled at first with having to conform to the rules, being told what to do and what I couldn't do. My time was managed for me. I now realise that this played a huge role in my healing because by submitting myself completely to the program, working the program and accepting the fact that "my way" had failed gave me my life back. I look back fondly at my time in Harmony as a very special wellness retreat rather than an addiction clinic.

I have been to Harmony a few times and must say they saved my life more then once. If you want to be clean and become a productive member of society. I highly suggest going to Harmony. The staff are friendly and always ready to help. The groups were amazing and learnt vital information about myself as an addict. The accommodation and meals were also 5 star. I am close to 6 months clean now. I highly suggest doing the full program, primary, secondary and the halfway house in order to be fully equipped to face reality and start living a life i can be happy and free of my addiction. I can't explain how good it is to have a good night's rest and wake up every day with a clean mind and have the people I love, my dignity and ambition back in my life. Kyle and Greg truely want to help you and I owe my life to Harmony and its staff.

Alcohol
Benzodiazepines
My son was deeply unhappy for the two days of his stay. He described dirty, cramped conditions and the place felt disorganised. We were grossly overcharged, paying thousands of pounds for what turned out to be a two night stay.

Internationals are charged more than domestic patients. This place promises you the world and delivers none of it. The brochure is completely misleading.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
