Broadway Lodge, Weston-super-Mare
A treatment centre for alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders and codependency.
About us:
Since 1974, our centre at Weston-super-Mare, has helped thousands of people back to a happier life free from addiction to alcohol and other mood-altering chemicals. As the first operators in the United Kingdom of what has become known as the Minnesota model of treatment we have had more experience than any other agency in this country at working successfully with this effective treatment programme.
Broadway Lodge is a 39 bed residential centre providing primary care, with an additional 25 places in adjacent houses for those needing secondary care. Situated on the edge of Weston-super-Mare, it is located in the peaceful setting of a country house and is registered as a nursing home with the Bristol & District Health Authority.
We believe that addiction to alcohol and drugs (chemical dependency) is a chronic, progressive, primary and incurable disease, not a problem of morals or willpower. The disease, if left unchecked, will prove terminal either directly through the effect of the drugs on the organs of the body, or indirectly through causing accidents, etc. The disease is tripartite: mental, physical and spiritual and is characterised by loss of control over alcohol and other mood-altering substances. That is to say, the inability of the patient to predict what will happen when they take a drink or use drugs. If the patient receives the correct treatment there is a good chance that the disease will be arrested and the patient able to lead a normal, fulfilled life. Our goal is to help the patient live without chemical support.
