Yeldall Manor

Who we are

Yeldall Manor is a residential drug and alcohol recovery centre near Reading for men struggling with addiction. We are a healing community with a holistic approach. For over 45 years, we have been helping men to overcome serious drug or alcohol addictions and return to society to live new lives, drug, alcohol and crime free.

We believe that recovery is possible and that recovery is not just abstinence. It involves learning to live comfortably as a sober, productive member of the community. It involves learning how to work, develop personal relationships, strengthen family ties, and enjoy positive leisure activities – all without the need for drugs or alcohol. We are a Christian organisation and all our staff and volunteers have a Christian faith.
