How we can help

two hands icon

We provide a supportive psychologically informed environment to help maintain recovery and achieve independence.

The Cedars offers Stage 3 of the recovery programme to people who have achieved a substantial period of abstinence and are looking to return to independent living. We support with practical skills and planning for your life going forwards and encourage people to access volunteering or to return to part-time work. Our support is provided in a semi-structured residential environment with a keyworker, some groups and more.

Find us:

  • We are close to Canterbury East Station and Canterbury bus garage.

  • 8 Wincheap

    Kent CT1 3BE

  • Our service is opposite Canterbury Castle on a busy ring road but we have a car park at the rear. To access our car park, turn off the ring road as if you are going to Aldi. Go past Aldi's car park, then there is a sharp turning into a driveway on the left. Take that driveway, when you get to the bottom follow the drive round to the left and our car park is at the end.
