About Us
Prinsted is a private second-stage residential treatment centre in Horley, Surrey. Founded and independently run by Brian Ballantyne and Caitilin Prinsep, the programme is rooted in the 12- Step abstinence based model.
This has been developed over many years experience into a fully integrated, lovingly delivered programme of therapeutic care to individuals and their families whose lives have been affected by the illness of addiction.
The Therapeutic programme consists of a mixture of group therapy, workshops, one-to-one counselling, voluntary work in the community and activities such as art, art therapy, yoga and creative writing. Attendance at Fellowship meetings and family involvement are requirements. Residents are also expected to complete written assignments and read literature provided by the therapeutic staff.
Family involvement is seen as crucial to a positive and lasting outcome of treatment. Regular family conferences and participation in groups are recommended and three times a year we hold Family Workshops. These are held over three days at Prinsted and are designed for family members to gain awareness of addictive behaviours and insight into the family illness. We will also include employers and significant other people if that is seen as beneficial.
