    Thank you to George and all of the team at White River Manor for arranging a wonderful, enjoyable and very educational trip.

It is good to have a variety and choice of tailored Programs available.

    I’m impressed! Absolutely stunning! Accommodation is luxurious.

    During a recent professional visit to White River Manor I was considerably impressed by all it had to offer, the staff, the Program and the entire set-up. Staff were friendly with a ‘can-do’ attitude and described a tailored individualised approach to providing therapy Programs bespoke to a client’s needs. Whilst I had been aware of the addictions treatment I was pleased to hear therapy Programs that would suit executive professionals suffering from exhaustion, and burnout and patients presenting with depression or anxiety.

    Most residential therapy facilities offer weekly 1:1 therapy except for the ultra-high-cost Swiss clinics but White River seem to be able to offer daily 1:1 therapy despite being a fraction of the cost of other units. The accommodation is best described as luxurious. I have visited several residential facilities and this was clearly the highest-standard suites and private lodges of anywhere offering group Programs. The setting of White River Manor is an oasis of calm and has the feel of a spa with pools and areas for relaxation and mindful reflection.

    I encourage my patients to engage in physical exercise and to ‘get out there’ and this is also something well-provided here. In addition to the spa and gym, patients are taken out to walk with elephants, visit the nearby safari in Kruger National Park, mountain biking and even sky-diving! Their price-point is incredible and beats other offerings by miles whilst offering a high-end luxury feel. I would never recommend somewhere without seeing first hand the place and its staff. Having been there I would consider White River Manor an excellent place for my patients to go especially for those who may wish to pursue inpatient treatment in the private sector but do not have health insurance or funds for UK treatment or those who would like their treatment to be in a tranquil setting in a warm climate.

    The place gives you a sense of peace and tranquillity

    The Manor is truly a place of wellness with the beautiful gardens, acting as a backdrop. The place gives you a sense of peace and tranquillity and aid the clients to truly begin to find themselves.I would definitely recommend The Manor to my clients, as the clinical care is excellent and it gives the client a sense of choice, which allows them to become accountable and buy into their individual recovery plan. It meets the needs for executives, who need to take time out to reflect. The facilities are outstanding, along with the various activities on offer.

    I will never forget my time there

    I spent 8 weeks at White River Manor and it’s difficult to put into words the heartfelt gratitude that I have for all the staff – from the front of the house to the excellent therapeutic team.

    When I arrived at the Manor, I was nervous, scared and utterly broken without an ounce of self-worth. I was looked after from the very moment I stepped through the door and reassured and encouraged every step of the way. I never thought rehab could be an enjoyable experience, but I will never forget my time there.

    White River Manor not only helped address my addiction and the toxic relationship with myself but helped me fall back in love with life again and want to truly experience what the world has to offer. I can’t thank them enough! I wouldn’t be where I am without them.

    A very positive experience!

    I have had a very positive experience during my 3 months at White River Manor. The varied nature of the therapeutic Program, and in particular the range of weekly one-on-one sessions, provided a learning experience far beyond what I had experienced in previous treatment centres. I greatly appreciated the bespoke approach, especially at my age and stage of life!

    I feel free and more peaceful

    The depth of work I have done at White River Manor has felt to be more conclusive and thorough than that of 15+ years of therapy. I did not think it possible to get to a place in myself where I am excited by what my future may hold, where I am not drowning in fear. I feel free and more peaceful. I have learned to engage with the world how it is, rather than how I wish it were. I have learned to take responsibility for myself, and better understand where this responsibility ends. I will never forget the White River Manor team, or the 3 months I have spent here as it has been life-changing for me – Thank you!
