The Lighthouse Clinic
Situated in the beautiful coastal town of Southend-on-Sea, The Lighthouse is Step by Step Recovery’s residential rehab clinic and a safe, supportive, healing environment for anyone struggling with addiction. Our exceptional addiction specialists are on hand to help you navigate the recovery journey, and support and empower you to get your life back and build a healthier future.
Our Rehab Location
Travelling any distance for rehab can feel daunting. Many people feel anxious about being too far from familiarity, whilst others prefer to begin their fresh start somewhere new. Whether you live in London, near Essex or are coming from elsewhere in the UK, our clinic’s location is not only convenient and easy to travel to, it’s also picturesque and has its own therapeutic benefits. The peaceful sea and tranquil surroundings are perfect for reflection, growth and recovery. Here, you can focus on your journey, away from the stresses and triggers of everyday life.
Our brand promise
At Step-by-Step Recovery, we are dedicated to providing the very best quality of care for each and every one of our clients and our ultimate goal is to provide you with the tools you need to maintain a clean and sober life free from drug addiction.
What We Offer
At The Lighthouse we understand that addiction is a complex condition that requires a holistic approach. Our residential rehab programme is designed to provide exceptional care so every resident gets the support they need at every stage of their recovery.
Experienced Staff
Our team brings years of combined experience in the addiction field, with many of them having personal knowledge and experience in recovery themselves. This unique perspective means we can genuinely understand and relate to your struggles. When it comes to addiction treatment, we know what works and our shared experiences allow us to create a compassionate environment where you feel seen, heard and empowered.
Around-the-Clock Support
Our staff is available 24/7 to provide medical care, emotional support and guidance. Whether residents need help managing withdrawal symptoms or just someone to talk to, a member of our team is always here.
Personalised Treatment Plans
We know that no two recovery journeys are the same. That’s why we create personalised treatment plans for each resident, tailored to their individual needs and circumstances. Our multidisciplinary team work together to address not just the symptoms of addiction but the underlying causes to give you the best chance at achieving and maintaining long-term abstinence. Unlike many other clinics, we don’t believe in expecting clients to follow the same treatment plan. Oftentimes, certain therapies may not be relevant or suitable for a particular client. Instead, we work closely with each person to craft a treatment plan relative to their experiences. This ensures they have the correct tools they need to cope with life outside of treatment.
Holistic and Evidence-Based Therapies
Recovery at The Lighthouse goes beyond traditional treatment. We incorporate holistic therapies – yoga, meditation and art therapy – to help clients heal physically, mentally and emotionally. These therapies work alongside our evidence-based treatments to provide a comprehensive approach to recovery.
Medically Supervised Detox
For many of our clients, detox is the first step in the recovery process. At The Lighthouse, we offer a medically supervised detox programme that puts your safety and comfort first. Our clinical team will monitor you closely, managing your withdrawal symptoms and getting you through to the next stage of treatment. Whether detoxing from alcohol, detoxing from any drug or both, our staff can handle even the most complex cases.
Therapeutic Excellence
Therapy and counselling is at the centre of our rehab treatment programme at The Lighthouse. Our programme includes individual counselling and group therapy, both of which will help you to explore the underlying causes of your addiction, develop coping strategies and build resilience. Some of the treatment modalities we offer are:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
- Group Therapy
- Family Therapy
- Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
Our therapists specialise in addiction treatment, so you can rest assured you will be receiving the best possible care. The Lighthouse is a safe space for anyone ready to start again, and we guarantee each client is treated with kindness and respect throughout their journey.
Comfortable and Sober Living
A comfortable living environment is key to the recovery process. The Lighthouse clinic provides residents with modern, clean, comfortable rooms that feel like home. Each room is designed to be private and quiet so you can rest and recharge between sessions.
The communal areas of the clinic are warm and inviting, allowing our residents to take time and connect with their peers during the process.
Aftercare
Preparing to return to everyday life after treatment can feel overwhelming, and we aim to make this transition as comfortable as possible. During the final days of your stay, your focal therapist will work closely with you to create a solid aftercare plan. This will include relapse prevention techniques, addiction resources and finding support groups local to you.
Your recovery journey doesn’t end once you leave us. In fact, it marks the start of your new life. Unlike most other clinics, we offer lifetime addiction aftercare support, this includes follow-up therapy sessions, support groups and relapse prevention planning to help you stay sober long after you’ve finished your stay.
The Perfect Environment for Your Recovery
At Step by Step, we know that the right environment is key to your healing. A peaceful and supportive environment can make treatment more effective and allow you to focus on yourself.
Our clinic has been designed with this in mind. Every detail, from the layout of the rooms to the colours and natural light, has been thought through to create a relaxing and comfortable space. A welcoming and nurturing environment can reduce stress, increase mindfulness and create a sense of community among our clients.

Gym Access
Exercise is known to boost mental health, and reduce stress and overall wellbeing so we emphasise this as part of our holistic approach. Physical health is often compromised during addiction, and regular exercise enhances cardiovascular health, strengthens the immune system and helps with sleep – something many clients struggle. Our gym is available to help residents maintain their physical health during treatment, with cardio machines, free weights and space for yoga or stretching the gym promotes a healthy lifestyle vital for anyone in recovery. Incorporating exercise into a daily routine also helps create a sense of structure and discipline, which is an important skill for anyone in recovery.
Beach Walks
The nearby beach extends the holistic therapies we offer, combining nature’s healing with structured support. Being so close to the ocean means we can incorporate mindfulness walks along the shore into the daily recovery routine.
