What we offer your clients
The post-treatment period, typically the first twelve months, carries the highest relapse risk. Pelagus programmes are specifically designed for this window. Our approach is grounded in third-wave CBT frameworks (SMART, DBT-informed practices), Marlatt & Gordon relapse prevention methodology, and somatic and nature-based interventions with a growing evidence base in addiction recovery.
Clinically, we complement, not compete with, ongoing therapeutic relationships. Most guests continue working with their existing therapist after the retreat. We ask that referrers remain in the loop, with consent, so the Recovery Map integrates into their continuing care plan.
Why Partner With Pelagus
- Clinically Grounded: evidence-based therapeutic model combining Third Wave therapies with nature and adventure.
- Bespoke by design: every programme built around the individual, not a fixed curriculum.
- Discreet By Default: privacy and confidentiality at the core of everything we do.
- Continued Support: 90-day aftercare plan and Pelagus Compass App for every guest

For HR directors and EAP providers
High-performing people often present late. By the time addiction or burnout becomes visible to an organisation, the cost is already significant. Pelagus offers a confidential, premium intervention that meets the standard your employees expect in every other area of their lives. We work with organisations on:
- Individual employee referrals through existing EAP frameworks.
- Pre-purchased retreat allocations for proactive wellbeing provision.
- The Strive programme: corporate addiction awareness and early-intervention retreat.
- Confidential outcomes reporting for HR partners, with guest consent.
