If you’re living in Penzance and need help for a drug or alcohol problem, you can access effective and confidential addiction treatment and support through Cassiobury Court.
Addiction can affect people from every background and it is a common problem in Cornwall. Official estimates suggest there are nearly 7,000 dependent drinkers in Cornwall and the Scilly Isles, with nearly a third of these (28%) in treatment. There are also more than 2,500 people dependent on heroin or crack cocaine, with over half (55%) of these in treatment.
Cassiobury Court treats both drug and alcohol addiction and residential treatment is available to people willing to travel from West Cornwall. Seeking help can feel like a daunting task but our friendly and experiences admissions team can answer any questions you might have about treatment options and travel arrangements.
Rehab might be an appropriate option when substance use has become difficult to control, withdrawal symptoms are present or attempts to stop without structured support have failed in the past.
Signs of addiction can vary depending on the individual and the substance involved, but can include:
Residential addiction treatment involves staying at the rehab in dedicated on-site accommodation. This allows for focused, structured treatment and continuous support, away from potential triggers associated with past substance misuse.
Outpatient treatment allows a person to remain at home while attending appointments. It is less intensive but may be more suitable for some people. Factors including home stability, withdrawal risk and previous relapse may have an effect on the suitability of each approach.
Get in touch with Cassiobury Court today to discuss arranging an assessment.
Drug addiction can take a very serious toll on physical and psychological wellbeing, as well as having financial and social costs. The effects of drug addiction can vary widely depending on the substance involved, and detox and therapy approaches can also differ depending on the drug and pattern of use.
At Cassiobury Court, we offer tailored treatment for addiction to various substances, including:
Alcohol is legal, widely available and generally socially acceptable. This can make some people underestimate its capacity for harm but alcohol addiction wrecks lives. Alcohol is the single biggest risk factor for death, ill-health, and disability among 15–49-year-olds in the UK, and the fifth biggest risk factor across all ages.
Casual drinking can easily slide into problem drinking, which can lead to dependence and addiction. Withdrawal can be very challenging and potentially dangerous, so it’s always best to cut down or quit under a supervised detox process.
Addiction frequently coexists with anxiety, depression, trauma and other mental health conditions. Addiction, substance misuse and mental health issues can interact in complex ways, and it is always best to address them at the same time if possible – an approach known as dual diagnosis treatment.
My initial thoughts were that I am going to prison but the ideology here is completely different. If you are willing to recover from alcoholism or in general, any addiction then this is the place to be. If you want to walk out, become a quitter and continue your same life then no one will stop you. Such a set-up really worked for me, especially because if it was a military-type rehabilitation then I would have walked out.
All the key workers, counselors, kitchen staff, cleaners, pharmacists, nurses, and fitness & yoga trainers everyone is so accommodating, warm, and helpful beyond my expectations.
If someone is really willing to recover then this is the place. Big big thank you to Cassiobury Court for saving me and I wish myself to be successful on my life-long road of recovery.
The wholistic approach of the treatment itself was highly beneficial. As a brief overview, it encompassed:
Group sessions, which was a great opportunity to learn about addiction, effective methods of controlling thoughts, emotions and how to incorporate these new skills into daily life and recovery.
Mindfulness sessions that taught us the basics of meditation, breathing techniques and emotional regulation.
One-to-one sessions with my key worker gave me the guidance needed to incorporate the learned material into an easy to follow recovery plan. My key worker also identified various areas of additional support which will further my recovery both during my stay at Cassiobury Court and in my general daily life. I found the private sessions with the remarkable therapists and psychologist extremely valuable for realigning my values in life so as to seek solace in my pursuits as well as becoming more emotionally centred. As a result I now see the joys in life and not the negatives.
On a final note, I commend their high endeavours to offer clean, safe and comfortable living quarters with delicious hot food. They even took care of my laundry for me so that I was able to focus on my health and recovery without distraction.
If you are seeking recovery by means of treatment and NOT
punishment then Cassiobury Court is quite literally a LIFE SAVER.
I would strongly recommend to anyone to stay for 28 days like I did as its turned my life around. From a massively heavy drinker and cocaine user to give me the chance for a good life here on end.

I cannot praise Cassiobury Court enough. Each day was well structured and every group session was designed to give you different tools to sobriety. I learnt so much from all the therapists and key workers that were taking the sessions due to my lack of understanding of this illness. I was in a place where I was made to feel comfortable and no question were silly which encouraged me to dig deeper and ask questions around my illness and myrecovery.
Cassiobury Court approach to recovery, worked very well for me. It was not like Boot Camp. They actually gave me time to digest the information that was given and time to absorb what was said they kind of gave me the balance to learn, but also do every day life things, I also had time to reflect and focus on myself
I would encourage any newcomers to rehab to engage in many group sessions as they can and take out as much as they can out of these sessions the 12 step AA program was explained to me in such a simple way and gave me the confidence to work it.
I would like to give a special thanks to my key worker as she has helped me find a a new sober, Sam. My key worker from the start has been open and honest which has helped me with my recovery.
I would like to also thank all the staff at Cassiobury Court that have had an impact on my road to recovery.
A special thanks to the kitchen staff and the cleaning staff, as by them doing what they do gave me time to focus on myself and not have to worry about cooking and cleaning. The kitchen staff have made sure that I have been eating properly and have helped me build up my strength.
Overall, Cassiobury Court is the place to come to if in need of a medical detox or need to understand what is involved in recovery and give you the opportunity on how to get away from addiction It’s like being given a second sober life.
I cannot thank Cassiobury Court enough.
Understanding what happens during rehab can reduce anxiety and help you to prepare. Realistic outcomes alongside quitting drugs or alcohol can include greater stability, healthier coping strategies and reconnection with work, family and everyday life. Various steps and stages include:
Our admissions process will cover the initial call, confidential assessment, treatment recommendation, payment arrangements, admission date and transport planning.
Detox helps the body adjust to the absence of a substance. This can result in a range of physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms and may require medical monitoring. It’s important to understand, though, that detox alone does not address the underlying causes of addiction.
Treatment following detox will generally consist of a combination of evidence-based therapy, group work, addiction education, coping strategies and relapse prevention. This will help deal with the root causes of substance misuse, the psychological aspects of addiction, and equip you with the tools you need to maintain your recovery.
Recovery is an ongoing process, and structured aftercare and local support can help you maintain your recovery journey after returning to Penzance.
Programmes may last approximately 7 to 28 days, but longer placements are possible where clinically advisable.
