Get Into Recovery @ Somerton Lodge
A calm, structured place to step away from alcohol, stabilise safely, and rebuild recovery before returning home.

A Safer, More Complete Approach to Recovery
Detox is often the first step.
However, while detox is the important first phase, it is rarely sufficient on its own.
Alcohol detox helps the body stabilize. From there, real recovery can begin, allowing thinking, emotions, and behavior to gradually settle.
Without this stabilisation period, many people return to their daily lives too soon and struggle to sustain their progress.
At Somerton Lodge, when requested, detox is followed by a structured period of ongoing recovery support.
Take charge of your recovery journey. Reach out to Somerton Lodge today to explore your tailored support options and begin your path to lasting change.
Medically Supported Detox, Followed by Stabilisation
We work in partnership with a CQC-registered clinical provider to deliver safe, medically supported alcohol detox.
Following detox, guests remain at Somerton Lodge in a calm, supportive environment focused on stabilisation.
This includes:
-
Daily structure and routine
-
Recovery-focused workshops and guided learning
-
Time for rest, reflection, and emotional regulation
-
Access to practical tools that support long-term change
This is where recovery begins to take shape — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
Why Staying Longer Matters
One of the most common risks in recovery is leaving too early.
Not because someone isn’t committed — but because they are not yet ready.
We are increasingly seeing guests choose to stay beyond detox — often for several weeks, and in some cases between six weeks and three months.
Not because they have to, but because they begin to recognise the value of having time to properly stabilise and build a foundation for recovery.
The real progress often begins after detox, not during it.
A Different Kind of Environment
Somerton Lodge is not a clinical or institutional setting.
It is a place where people can:
-
Step out of crisis
-
Slow things down
-
Regain clarity
-
Begin to rebuild
The environment is quiet, private, and supportive — designed to reduce pressure and allow recovery to develop at a natural pace.
Who this is for?
Many people arrive here after searching for alcohol rehab on the Isle of Wight.
What they are often looking for is not just treatment, but a place where recovery can actually begin to take hold.
Somerton Lodge provides a private, structured alternative to more clinical environments — focusing on stabilisation after detox, emotional balance, and building the foundations for lasting change.
Who This Is For?
This approach is often suited to people who:
-
Feel stuck in a cycle of stopping and starting
-
Have tried to manage drinking on their own
-
Want more than a short-term intervention
-
Are looking for a private, structured alternative to traditional rehab
-
Recognise that detox alone may not be enough
Why people choose Somerton Lodge
People choose us for:
• Private setting (not an institution)
• Structured recovery guidance
• Calm coastal environment
• Small number of residents
• Discreet and confidential
It’s normal to feel unsure about asking for help.
Many people who come to Somerton Lodge are professionals, parents, or business owners who simply reached a point where alcohol was taking more energy than they wanted.
A short stay can provide the space to reset, regain clarity, and return to life with a stronger recovery foundation.
Featured Review
After years of battling alcohol addiction, my addiction therapist, Peter Davies, referred me to Somerton Lodge Detox and Recovery Centre, a decision that profoundly transformed my life. I initially planned a two-week alcohol detox, recognising that recovery was too challenging at home with AA meetings and therapy alone. Having attended three other rehab facilities over the years (The Priory, UKAT and Mount Carmel), I can confidently say this is the only one I fully endorse and wholeheartedly recommend. Somerton Lodge distinguishes itself by prioritising sustained recovery rather than merely processing clients. The support, education, compassion and aftercare exceed anything I have experienced before. Their holistic approach focuses on detoxifying the body and restoring the mind, emotions and spirit. The lodge’s atmosphere is deeply restorative: calm, safe, encouraging, personable and positive. Every staff member is dedicated to supporting you on your journey of healing, self-discovery and general well-being. John Elford demonstrates exceptional knowledge of addiction and recovery; his passion, commitment and expertise enhance every aspect of the centre's programme. After a week, I realised this was the environment I had always hoped to find and needed. I extended my stay to three months to pursue lasting recovery. It is the most valuable investment I have ever made. Somerton Lodge provided hope, effective tools, insight and a genuine opportunity for a new life. In recovery, a renewed life is truly priceless. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. Sophia.
