Focused on Addressing Underlying Causes of Addictive Behaviors

Marworth’s philosophy centers on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of addiction. They use evidence-based therapies such as CBT, expressive therapies, recreation therapy, and MAT, combined with family involvement and dual-diagnosis support to build individualized recovery paths.

The facility leverages its setting, on a former governor’s estate in rolling hills, to reduce external stressors, fostering serenity and focus as part of the healing journey.

The continuum of care includes inpatient intensive programs (residential and detox), outpatient and intensive outpatient services, and aftercare support.

Marworth also offers specialized treatment tracks for healthcare and uniformed professionals, LGBTQ+ groups, and those with trauma.

The admissions process is designed to assess individual needs and match patients with the appropriate intensity of care, while insurance and financial assistance are worked out in advance where possible.
