My experience at Gladstones Clinic Cotswolds truly changed — and honestly saved — my life. I was admitted in September 2025 and stayed for two months. When I walked through those doors, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. From day one, the staff treated me with dignity, compassion, and genuine care. They didn’t just see a patient — they saw a person who needed support, structure, and hope. The therapy program was outstanding. The counsellors and therapists took the time to really understand me, helping me work through the underlying issues behind my addiction. Every session felt purposeful, supportive, and empowering. They gave me tools I still use every single day to stay on track. One thing I learned there is that rehab gives you the tools, guidance, and support — but you as a person have to be willing to do the work as well. Recovery is a partnership, and they helped me understand and embrace that responsibility. The meals were consistently good and nourishing, which may sound small, but when you’re rebuilding your life, proper care and routine matter so much. The entire environment felt safe, structured, and focused on healing. Most importantly — I’m still clean today. That’s something I once thought was impossible. This rehab didn’t just help me detox; it helped me rebuild my life, my mindset, and my future. I can’t thank the team at Gladstone Rehab Facility enough. The dedication, patience, and compassion they show every day truly make a difference. If you or someone you love is struggling, this place can be the turning point. It was for me. Forever grateful.

Changed my life! 12 weeks post treatment and looking forward to the future

I discharged from this clinic yesterday, and I can honestly say it was a life-changing experience. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with respect, understanding, and genuine care.

The staff were professional, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. I felt more than comfortable opening up and working through difficult issues. I never felt like just another patient – they truly took the time to understand me as an individual.

The program itself was very well structured. There was a good balance of one-to-one counseling, group therapy, educational sessions, and personal reflection time. I learned practical tools and coping strategies that I know will help me maintain my recovery in the long term.

I hope to never relapse but if I ever did, I wouldn’t think twice of coming back to this supportive and incredible rehab centre.

Thank you so much to all the staff for the support and for really giving me a complete new lease of life.

I went here a couple of weeks ago while struggling with alcohol. Honestly, I didn’t want to go, didn’t think I needed it, and was probably a pain in the arse at the start. Once I stopped resisting everything and actually leaned into it, I eased up, cooperated, and it ended up helping way more than I expected. The staff were friendly and patient the whole time (even when I wasn’t), and I’m genuinely glad I went.

I have ADHD and experience Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), which means I thrive upon insight, compassionate and supportive approach to therapy – something I found inconsistent during my time there. Please see my reveiw expanded on Google reveiw when visiting Gladstones clinic in the cotswolds. Further investigations are being made concerning the poor therapy I recieved that I found distressing as well as unprofessional. Where are the regulating bodies overseeing the poor therapitic practice of this place ?

Going to GLADSTONES has been the worst experience of my life.

If you have too much blood, this clinic is ideal because the people working there do nothing but draw blood. The doctor was supposed to call me within two days, but he still hasn't, and when I scheduled an appointment for the next day, there was no appointment.

I left Gladstones 9 weeks ago and I cannot speak highly enough of them. They have literally saved my life 🙏
The staff are extremely caring, Yes there are rules that are made clear from your arrival. I’m afraid those who repeatedly decide they don’t need to abide by the rules are asked to leave in the interest of other clients accommodated with them. The rules, as in any clinic are there for a reason, to keep you safe and aid your recovery. I believe from my experience, that those abiding by the rules, who do the work and commit to the program achieve their goals and take the learning and tools with them back out into the outside world to continue working on their recovery and are much more likely to succeed.
I am now 15 weeks dry, something I have not been able to achieve by myself for many years.
I will always be eternally grateful to all of the staff who have given me a new life and happy, fulfilled and positive future 😍👏👏👏👏👏🙏👍🫶🥇 xxx

If you want to be humiliated, bullied and be made to feel even more shit for 15k sign up !!
I invested and utterly poured myself into this!
It’s left me raw and incapable to deal with all the emotions that have been dug up
I’ve left there with another addiction to nicotine
I was very transparent that I needed help with depression and anxiety - they promised everything and delivered ZERO
I feel wronged - I could have used that money to help myself and my family
Don’t buy into their bullshit! They will happily take your money and not deliver !!
An honest programme !! LMFAO!! They selected 4 individuals and offered them 1 month free therapy in the new centre so they had some footfall ??? And kept it a secret ! Putting all of us in a very difficult situation
One of us as suffering lack of care as they did not have sufficient funds but was in urgent need - they did not extend the care to that person ??????

After years of enslavement to crack cocaine and heroin, I descended to the lowest point of my existence—skeletal, suicidal, and utterly broken in body, mind, and spirit. Stripped of dignity and hope, I turned to treatment as a final attempt to save my life.

My decline had been devastating: I wasted away to nine stone, lost my home, and spiralled into a desolation beyond anything I could have imagined. Yet in that broken state, I found the courage to enter a medically supervised detox and an intensive two-month rehabilitation programme. From that moment, transformation began. Today, I can proudly say I have been clean and sober for over three months.

My health and strength have been restored; I now stand at thirteen stone and, for the first time in years, know genuine peace of mind. Recovery has given me clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose. I remain committed to aftercare, meetings, therapy, and exercise, all of which continue to fortify my progress.

Most importantly, I am taking steps to give back. I am enrolling in college to study psychology and counselling, dedicating my future to supporting others battling addiction. I am also writing my autobiography, hoping my story may inspire those still trapped in darkness.

This journey has shown me the depth of my resilience and the vital role of compassion, urgency, and professionalism in saving lives. My mission now is to keep growing, extend a hand to others, and use my voice to remind people that recovery is possible, even in despair.

For me, Gladstones embodies the very best of recovery services. They do not simply provide treatment—they live a philosophy of care that unites professionalism with compassion. Most profoundly, they helped me see myself not as a broken addict, but as a person with worth, potential, and purpose. Gladstones gave me not only recovery, but also the tools for growth, service, and self-discovery.

To everyone at Gladstones—thank you. Each of you has played a vital role in my journey. Your patience, kindness, and unwavering belief in me restored hope when I had none. I will carry my gratitude for you always, and I will remain forever indebted for the part you have played in giving me back my life.

A special thank you to Claire and Carina, not only for the incredible support they gave my daughter, who was 17 at the time and with them for 14 weeks, but also for the kindness and understanding they extended to us as a family.

The staff run a tight ship—professional, structured, but always with care and compassion. There are too many wonderful team members to name, but I’d especially like to thank Danielle, Mags, and Matt.

We’re truly grateful to you all."

Do not trust them! They are emotionally abus* and use your mental health state against you. They throw a lot of people out just to be able to make more money. If you’re having a tough time they’ll make you feel worse. They don’t know how to deal with difficult situations. There is no gym or pool and the pictures look nothing like the place. Even the sofas that are on the pictures are nowhere to be seen once you get there.

Thank you to everybody, I've been clean for 6 months and finally enjoying my life. Therapy is Amazing, and food is to die for!

I was a teenager going into gladstones obviously I was terrified but they treated me with such kindness, care and patience . I can’t thank them enough for they’re help love and support. And giving my family they’re daughter back . For any young person that’s planning on going into gladstones I can’t recommend it enough.

I was in gladstones in 2019. 5 years sober coming up fast. I cannot thank them enough all of the staff/therapists were great and the food omg heaven. I would highly recommend i

I can't rate Gladstones highly enough. I left the clinic in early June, 2023 and I am now 6 months clean and sober, all thanks to the help, support and recovery tools I acquired during my stay.

I arrived completely broken in April and all the members of staff were extremely kind, patient and compassionate. The therapy is first rate, delivered by experienced and highly professional addiction counsellors and I felt heard and understood for the first time in a long while.

From being lost and deeply depressed when I arrived, I am now happy and excited about the future.

Thank you very much for everything and see you at aftercare soon!

Unfortunately my family were coerced into me staying at Gladstones.
They promised Id get all the help and a tailored experience. The experience I came away with was more PTSD. It was awful!!!
The way they treated me was horrendous. I was withdrawing from prescription medication, I was completely disabled mentally and the staff basically bullied me, I've never been so upset and to pay 10k to stay there. They treated me like everyone else. I didn't even know how to get myself around the house I was so unwell. I got shouted at by staff for going on a medication that their doctor organised for me. Everything about it was terrible. I was a prisoner.
The nurse even was concerned when I first checked in and whispered to a staff member (shouldn't she be in a psyche ward not here) the other staff member told them to shhh and stop talking. I was so unwell I could talk. The whole experience was horrific.

Please get in touch if you want to gladstones to help rectify this experience.
My name is Lauren.

I wish to take things further and spread awareness at how dangerous rehabs can be but I'd prefer to talk to you firstly

From my initial pre-admission conversations with the amazing Tiffany to entering the clinic at Gladstones I immediately felt safe, understood, fully supported and my thoughts of guilt and shame were very quickly removed from my mind. The therapists are simply excellent - all of them - including those delivering Mindfulness and Yoga style sessions. Working a lot on group therapy the therapists made me (and other clinets) tackle full on the issues that led to my addiction, that kept me in addiction and finally they helped me to the gain self awareness, courage and confidence for my path to recovery. Yes, it was tough at times and very emotional but it was what I needed to come to terms with my life and to see that I could live life free of alcohol if I kept working the programme at Gladstones and then after at home. Key workers offer additional support and insight and are on hand 24/7. Most, if not all, of the staff are in recovery themselves and therefore totally understand 'the addict'. In my opinion only another addict can truly do this and it is of great credit to Gladstones that they employ staff with this insight and the staff can then demonstrate what recovery can bring. The food is excellent - so important when rebuilding my damaged body and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation is fairly simple - it is clean, suitable and comfortable. I had been to a few different rehabs and, without any doubt, Gladstones simply stands alone in its approach, methodology and unique therapy, therapists and key worker staff. Finally there is continued support from the clinic - including Saturday sessions, Noel and Zoom Evolve meetings. All so important for me and for which I am very grateful.

I spent time at Gladstones in April 2022. Initially for 28 days but then did an additional week. All the staff there are kind, understanding and experienced. Gladstones without a doubt gives you the tools and opportunity to change whilst learning about yourself and those around you. You are completely supported on your arrival, time there and your journey after. 1 year on I am in regular contact with Gladstones and I am very happy in life.

I was at the point of losing everything, my daughter, my home, my job, my life! I’d hit rock bottom…. That day I made a decision to ask for help and I haven’t looked back since! The support from Gladstones was phenomenal, from the Therapy (which was tough!) to the support staff who were there for me 24/7. The food was amazing and I owe my life to this place. At nearly 4 years sober I have a steady job, a beautiful home and most importantly my daughter in my life!! Thank you Gladstones for saving my life xx
