Kenward Barn

Situated on the same 17 acre site as Kenward House at Yalding, this project follows a 12 - Step programme of recovery, that will be familiar to anyone who has attended AA/NA or read their literature. Here you will address the particular issues of your addiction, in order that you may look forward to living a manageable life, without the need to resort to alcohol or other mind-altering drugs.

The Barn runs a programme in which a group of up to eight men live together and work on their addiction issues, using Group-work as the main means of resolving why they find themselves in their present condition and what has happened to bring them to this point. Working in a group helps to resolve some of the, often distorted, beliefs which have contributed to our problems and the way that we feel about ourselves. Unhelpful beliefs and behaviours are examined in a supportive manner, with others who may share some of our experiences.

This programme of recovery from addiction is designed to take place over a minimum of 16/17 weeks, although it is accepted that some people will need longer, especially if there are a number of personal issues.

The approach employed is a powerful blend of the 12-step process and cognitive self-change tools. This combination has proved to be a helpful method for changing unhealthy and addictive life-patterns.

The main components of this route to recovery are:

Whether you are a newcomer to any form of 12-step recovery, or whether you have prior experience, the information and techniques in this programme will increase the security and quality of your recovery.
