Transformation at Harmony House 👏

We’re thrilled to celebrate Sam’s graduation from his retreat stay at Harmony House. When sam arrived, he was facing one of the lowest points in his life. Through our development groups, coaching, and education on the science of addiction, Sam has built strong foundations for long-term recovery in a remarkably short time.

Sams commitment, courage, and consistency has been truly inspiring.

🌿 Redefining Recovery 🌿

At Harmony House, we go beyond the traditional treatment model. Instead of sitting in groups for hours each day, we focus on reintroducing clients to life—helping them rediscover joy, purpose, and connection without the aid of alcohol or substances.

Our groundbreaking approach blends:
🌱 Life Coaching & Personal Development – equipping clients with tools to build resilience and a new vision for the future.

🧠 Education on the Science of Addiction – understanding the brain, dopamine, and the reward system gives clients insight into cravings and the power to rewire habits.

🤝 12-Step Philosophy & Community – drawing strength from shared experience and proven principles of recovery.

🌄 Recreational Adventures & Social Integration – from local group activities to climbing Mam Tor in the Peak District, we reintroduce clients into sociable experiences that rebuild vital brain pathways, strengthen neural connections, and create lasting change.

This unique model bridges the gap between the life of addiction and the life of recovery—empowering our clients not just to break free, but to thrive.

✨ Recovery isn’t about what you leave behind—it’s about the life you step into. And at Harmony House, that life is waiting.

🌧️ It’s a wet and grey day outside — but inside Harmony House, the smell of freshly baked mince pies fills the air, thanks to our amazing chef, Tony. 🥧✨

At Harmony House, we go above and beyond to cultivate a truly homely retreat — a place where our clients feel cared for, valued, and deeply loved. Whether it’s a hot meal, a kind word, or the simple joy of sharing a pie straight from the oven, every detail is an expression of love in action.

🤍 Recovery isn’t only about what you leave behind — it’s about what you step into.
And here, you step into comfort, compassion, and connection.

📍 Love in action. Non-judgmental. Affordable.

🌿 Healing Begins with One Brave Step 🌊

At Harmony House, we offer more than just a safe space — we offer a fresh start. A place to breathe again, to feel again, and to reconnect with life.

After powerful days spent in our life-giving 12-Step groups, clients come together to enjoy nourishing, comforting meals by our gifted chef Tony — food that feels like home. 🍲💛

And because healing involves joy too, we create space for it — from peaceful beach walks to visits to beautiful Southwold for award-winning ice cream and moments of real connection. 🏖️🍦

🤍 Many arrive feeling broken, isolated, or ashamed. But here’s the truth: you are not your addiction. At Harmony House, you are met with grace — not judgement.
Our retreat is rooted in a non-judgmental and compassionate environment, where healing can begin at your pace, and hope is gently restored.

✨ You don’t have to have it all together — you just need the courage to reach out. We'll walk the rest with you.

📍 Peaceful, structured and holistic recovery on the East Coast
🤝 Community, structure, and kindness
💬 Confidential, affordable, and deeply human support

📩 Ready to take that step? Message us today — healing starts here.

🌟A Week of Growth ⭐️

At Harmony House, we believe recovery is not just about breaking free—it's about releasing your full potential. 🙌

This week, our clients engaged deeply with personal development groups, our evolving 12-Step program, and impactful life coaching sessions led by our passionate team. To celebrate their hard work and growth, they took part in a powerful afternoon of poetry and music workshops, hosted by the brilliant charity Status Creative 🎶📝

We’re proud to collaborate with like-minded organisations who share our heart: to show that recovery is real, and that with the right education, support, and proven approaches, lives can be transformed from the inside out.

Here in Suffolk, we continue to wave the 12-Step recovery flag, walking with each person as they discover a life beyond addiction—full of creativity, confidence, and hope.

💚 Recovery isn't just possible. It's happening—every single day.

Celebrating almost our 1st Milestone! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that Harmony House has officially reached full occupancy — a powerful moment as we celebrate our first year of providing faith-based, life-changing recovery support.

From our partnership with Rehabs UK, to direct client feedback, and our in-depth analytical data, the evidence of real impact is undeniable:

✅ A 95% success rate through our program rollout.
✅ Clients choosing to extend placements two or even three times.
✅ Consistent feedback that clients feel safe, supported, and truly heard.

But what makes Harmony House truly stand apart is the holistic, dynamic nature of our recovery model.

Our clients engage in Dynamic Development Groups that bring together the best of:
🧠 Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) — helping individuals reframe limiting beliefs
🔁 The 12-Step Program — offering a foundation of surrender, accountability, and spiritual growth
🧬 Brain Science — exploring how addiction reshapes the brain and how healing is possible
📊 Behavioural Pattern Training — breaking down the trigger → behaviour → reward cycle, understanding how dopamine and survival instincts become hard-wired into addictive patterns.

By learning how addiction affects the brain’s reward system, our clients are empowered to rebuild from the inside out — not just treating symptoms, but addressing root causes, leading to real transformation.

At the centre of it all is our dedicated team, whose compassion, expertise, and faith are changing lives every single day. 💛

As we approach one year since opening, we’re celebrating what God has done — from our very first client to now operating at full capacity.

✨ What’s Next?
We’ll soon begin sharing testimonies from our community, as well as content on addiction, brain health, and recovery tools to support anyone on the journey — whether you’re in recovery, walking with someone who is, or simply looking to understand more.

🕊️ You’re Invited — Especially Our Ex-Clients
To mark this amazing milestone, we’re hosting an Open Day at Harmony House, and we would love to welcome back ex-clients, supporters, and friends to break bread, share stories, and give thanks together.

This will be a time of reflection, thanks giving , community, and celebration — because recovery isn’t just about surviving, it’s about being restored and renewed.

We are humbled by what has already been built here — and we believe, with all our hearts:

The best is yet to come.🙏❤️
