Our mission

We help you on your recovery journey through mind, body and spirit. We will work together through willingness and growth. Our comprehensive approach is based on the Kelly Foundation 12 Step Recovery Dynamics System. A combination of small group sessions and one on one modules, integrating recovery into our lives including aftercare upon graduation from Keystone Lodge. With comfortable surroundings and friendly, diversely qualified professional staff, we take a holistic approach to your recovery. We will offer you the tools and support to make a complete life transformation.

“The most special place on earth!

I found keystone on Google search while desperately seeking help for my alcoholism and I got a response almost immediately from Damo to firstly check I was okay, and then fill me in on what the lodge has to offer in terms of the start to recovery. After a few weeks stay I now consider this place a second home and the most special place on earth, the staff are warm and welcoming, all with their own stories and journeys to share, the facilities are awesome, from a well equipped gym to beautiful outdoor views and last but not least the therapists and time taken with you to working through the twelve steps of recovery is invaluable. I would highly recommend Keystone to anyone crying out for help, the hardest part is to reach out but once this has done, this special place will take care of the rest for you, I promise. I will be forever grateful I found Keystone.”
