Asana Lodge is a private residential drug and alcohol treatment centre that provides clinically led, individualised care. We support Jewish addiction recovery and encourage you to discuss religious, cultural and dietary requirements confidentially before admission so that we can accommodate you.

At Asana Lodge, our only concern is that we provide you with the environment and treatment you need to overcome your addiction.

 

Finding Jewish Rehab in the UK

We understand that those looking for a Jewish rehab centre may be looking for different things. Some may be searching for a residential clinic operating within the Jewish community, looking to be away from their faith community entirely, while others may be seeking a treatment programme that will not conflict with their personal beliefs.

Asana Lodge is a clinically led but culturally sensitive rehab centre, understanding that faith and addiction recovery can be closely connected for some people.

Our treatment programmes are tailored to the client, combining detoxification, evidence-based and wellbeing therapies, and social activities to create a comprehensive approach to recovery.

Any individual faith and cultural requirements can be discussed before you step through our doors.

 

How Jewish Faith and Values Can Support Recovery

Your faith or identity as a Jewish person can be a great source of support during recovery. To go through recovery means to look inward and discover your inner strength and ability to change.

Many Jewish people often find that their faith and values can be a source for purpose, hope, reflection and community over the course of recovery. Both Judaism and recovery value responsibility and accountability, community belonging and compassion towards oneself and others.

Your faith can inform these values and many more. Whether you are strongly observant or only culturally Jewish, you’ll feel welcome at Asana Lodge and benefit from residential addiction treatment.

 

Jewish Addiction Treatment at Asana Lodge

At Asana Lodge, we treat people. If your Jewish faith is an important part of who you are, then a treatment plan may be designed around your values and requirements.

Considerations that can be discussed include:

  • Kosher dietary needs
  • Time and space for prayer
  • Shabbat observance
  • Access to religious texts
  • Contact with a rabbi
  • Modesty and privacy preferences
  • Personal boundaries around certain activities
  • Individual denomination and level of observance

Before admission, our team can discuss your religious practices, dietary requirements and any arrangements that are important to you. Religious accommodations can influence a personalised clinical treatment programme, but your clinical care and recovery should take priority.

 

Kosher Food During Residential Rehab

At Asana Lodge, we understand that those searching for a kosher rehab in the UK can mean different things, as kosher practice varies between individuals.

Kosher practice can involve:

  • Avoiding pork and shellfish
  • Requiring meat and dairy to be separated
  • Only eating food with recognised kosher certification
  • Requiring sealed or separately prepared meals
  • Following particular standards of supervision
  • Having different requirements during Passover

In other cases, Jewish clients may identify as Jewish and require general dietary accommodations without strictly following kosher dietary law.

Ask us about kosher dietary arrangements before admission. We won’t commit to any accommodations before knowing your full requirements.

 

Jewish Festivals and Fast Days

Your treatment may overlap with important events such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Chanukah, Sukkot, Pesach, Shavuot or Purim. We understand that these important events may require dietary changes, fasting, contact with family and attendance at religious services.

Fasting, especially, may be difficult to accommodate as it may not be medically advisable during detoxification, early recovery or certain prescribed treatments.

Before making any major decisions that can impact treatment, you should talk with the clinical team. We encourage you to also choose to seek advice from your rabbi if you wish.

 

Clinically Led Drug and Alcohol Treatment

Faith-sensitive care means treating the whole person. That can be allowing them to have their faith to help them spiritually and emotionally, but it also means using evidence-based medical and psychological care to fully combat addiction.

Those seeking a Jewish drug and alcohol rehab should consider Asana Lodge because it provides a tailored treatment programme that respects your faith whilst also putting you into the care of experts in a professional and caring environment.

Medical detoxification

If you are physically dependent on a substance, you’ll need to go through detox to purge the drugs from your system. You’ll go through a medical assessment to determine your detox programme, given medication to help manage your withdrawal whilst being monitored and supported by our residential staff.

Beyond that, you’ll be transitioned into residential therapy when you are physically able.

Individual therapy

One-on-one therapy sessions are a huge part of rehab. You’ll work with our qualified psychologists and counsellors to help uncover and overcome the issues behind your addiction.

During these sessions, you may explore:

  • Guilt and shame
  • Depression
  • Identity
  • Community pressure
  • Relapse triggers

Often, substance abuse is the symptom of deeper issues that therapies can help deal with.

Group therapy

Isolation is a big trigger for people’s addiction worsening. Group therapy can help reduce isolation and allow our Jewish clients to connect with others, learn and support those in need.

These groups are helping one another. People of all faiths and religious beliefs are welcome.

Holistic and wellbeing activities

At Asana Lodge, we want to leave in a better state, physically, psychologically and emotionally, than when you arrived. We believe in a holistic approach to addiction, treating the whole person rather than just the addiction.

With us, you can gain access to a range of wellbeing and holistic therapies to help you relax and practice self-care. If you have any issues about whether any wellbeing practice conflicts with your beliefs, please don’t hesitate to talk to our staff about your concerns.

Relapse prevention and aftercare

Recovery doesn’t end when you complete rehab. It is a journey, and you must continue to put in the work.

To help with these potentially difficult months after rehab, we offer a year of free aftercare. You’ll gain access to group support meetings, have professional help with creating and refining a relapse recovery plan and get continuing therapeutic support.

 

A Recovery Programme Tailored to the Individual

No single addiction treatment programme is right for everyone. Addiction is personal, and the approach to recovery should be the same.

A personalised treatment plan at Asana Lodge will consider:

  • The substance and severity of addiction
  • Your physical and mental health
  • Previous treatment history
  • Your privacy demands
  • Involvement of family and Rabbi
  • Level of religious observance, Shabbat and festival practice
  • Jewish denomination

Judaism is a diverse religion, and not all Jewish clients are alike. Religious practice, culture and personal identity vary between each person, so we at Asana Lodge begin by listening to what matters to you and build a recovery programme from there.

 

 

Privacy and Confidentiality

Those seeking a Jewish rehab are not all the same and can include people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Stigma and shame are huge obstacles to treatment. Many Jewish people may not seek help because of many concerns, including information being shared with relatives or reaching a synagogue, discussing sensitive behaviour in group therapy and their marriage prospects.

All aspects of your conversations with Asana Lodge and your treatment are handled confidentially. Information will only be given out if you expressly permit it or there are serious clinical, legal and safeguarding concerns.

If you have any questions, speak privately with one of our admissions team.

 

Travelling Away From Your Community for Treatment

Asana Lodge is a private residential facility in the Northamptonshire area and accepts clients from across the UK. At our facility, you get the time and space to focus on your care, away from the stresses and responsibilities of your everyday life.

We frequently welcome many initially looking to travel further afield from where they live to start their recovery journey.

The benefits of attending a rehab away from your local area include:

  • Increased privacy
  • Distance from environmental and social triggers
  • Access to a structured residential environment
  • Time and space to focus solely on treatment
  • Fewer opportunities to leave treatment

 

Twelve-Step Recovery and Judaism

The 12-step recovery approach is a common model we use at our rehab centre, centred on regular peer support meetings.

It is a set of principles used to help those working through rehabilitation, based around accepting help, making changes and committing to long-term recovery. Twelve-step recovery contains spiritual elements but is not tied to a single religion.

At the core of the twelve steps is the idea of giving yourself over to a higher power. Those searching for a Jewish recovery programme can find some help with the twelve steps, where you can use your own spirituality to inform these steps.

What matters is that you work through recovery in a way that suits you. An approach of clinical therapy, peer support and faith can be spiritually and medically effective.

 

Mental Health, Trauma and Dual Diagnosis

Addiction rarely occurs in a vacuum. Many seeking faith-based rehab are also suffering from mental health issues. In the UK, almost three-quarters of people starting treatment also reported having a mental health need.

Substance abuse issues often appear alongside anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Identifying and treating co-occurring needs is vital to treating the addiction, helping people in recovery get to the underlying issues of their struggles.

At Asana Lodge, you can get dual diagnosis treatment to help you treat your mental health and addiction needs simultaneously, without worsening either condition.
