Therapeutic Wellness Programme
White River Manor currently offers luxurious intensive 7, 10, 14 & 21- Day Wellness Programmes designed to revitalise and replenish. Our passionate multidisciplinary team is extensively qualified and experienced in various treatment modalities to help treat burnout, dual diagnosis and various dependencies. The holistic approach is designed to ensure restoration in all areas and to help you find the balance that you need in your body, mind and soul. We are confident that we will be able to help you achieve a fulfilling and sustainable recovery.
Please bear in mind that we have a rotational structure, and thus exposure to all programme elements is dependent on the length of time in treatment. Shorter periods are more focused on restoration and relaxation while longer programmes are able to incorporate more therapeutic options.
Upon starting any of our Wellness Programmes, you will undergo a comprehensive psychosocial assessment to pinpoint your unique therapeutic needs. This assessment serves as the foundation for crafting a tailored programme that addresses your specific requirements.
Therapeutic aspects include a combination of the following individual and group approaches:
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
DBT is an advanced psychotherapy approach, frequently used in the treatment of dual diagnosis. Although DBT has achieved prominence with the treatment of personality disorders, it has proven highly beneficial in equipping one with practical coping tools to counteract the negative effects of trauma and a range of compulsive behaviors. The focal elements include core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Intensive emotional therapy is complimented by stimulating group sessions, and we utilise a combination of the following therapeutic approaches:
Spa
What would a wellness experience be without a little indulgence and pampering? Your wellness package includes full body massages and facials, manicures and pedicures, with the option to add an unlimited amount of extra treatments from our wide range, should you so desire.
