Rehab Clinics in Wiltshire

The Swindon rehab clinic is a residential rehabilitation centre for people (currently men-only) with alcohol and drug addictions (a Tier 4a service), owned by the Salvation Army Housing Association and managed by

The Salvation Army. It is situated in Highworth, a small market town six miles north of Swindon, in Wiltshire. It has full-board accommodation for 12 people – all in single bedrooms.

Clinics Aims

Gloucester House aims to help residents and day clients to face issues associated with alcohol and drugs and to prepare them for a future in which they have a choice to be sober and/or drug-free.

The work of the centre is undertaken through Christian convictions about helping those with needs, acceptance and the offer of hope for the future. Residents have the opportunity to explore the needs for a spiritual dimension within themselves.

Treatment Program

It offers a threephase bio-psycho-social intervention delivered to men with severe alcohol and drug dependencies in the south of England (mainly the Thames Valley from London to Swindon and the Bristol area). The aim is to provide services to help address dependency within housing related support services.

The ultimate aim of the programme is to resettle service users in independent accommodation having dealt with their substance use issues. The programme provides both the clinical interventions and Housing Related Support.

The centre has an external Advisory Group made up of service managers, service users and staff. It is a multi disciplinary, multi agency team who are responsible for monitoring the service including identifying and reacting to trends in service delivery.
