PROMIS Hay Farm is a private residential rehabilitation clinic set within twelve acres of farmland beside the Ham Fen nature reserve and the South Downs of Kent. With over 35 years of experience and more than 12,000 patients helped, the clinic provides residential treatment for drug addiction, alcohol addiction, process addictions, and eating disorders within a countryside setting.
Treatment Approach
PROMIS Hay Farm follows a personalised, clinically led treatment approach that integrates evidence-based therapies with holistic support. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual, reflecting personal history, clinical presentation, and treatment goals rather than a fixed pathway.
The clinic offers flexible programme lengths, starting with a minimum stay of one week. Detox-only treatment typically lasts around two weeks, while primary residential treatment commonly spans 28 days. Extended programmes are available for clients requiring additional therapeutic or clinical input. Medically supervised home detoxification services for drugs and alcohol are also provided.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Therapy at PROMIS Hay Farm is built around daily one-to-one sessions with a dedicated therapist, supported by a structured programme of group and family therapy. Therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), EMDR for trauma processing, experiential therapies, and structured group work.
Clinical care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of therapists, psychiatrists, physicians, nurses, and 24-hour care staff. Mental health support is available for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, and related conditions, allowing dual diagnosis needs to be addressed alongside addiction or eating disorder treatment.

Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Aftercare planning forms part of treatment and continues following discharge from residential care. PROMIS Hay Farm offers a 12-month aftercare programme that includes up to 24 therapy days delivered across the year in an outpatient setting.
Ongoing support focuses on maintaining therapeutic progress and providing continued clinical input after residential treatment. This structured follow-on care supports stability and continued engagement with recovery-focused services once clients return to everyday life.
