The Muirhead Care Home Project

Our latest residential treatment project is The Muirhead Care Home Project, based in Aberdeenshire.

The service will be located in a rural setting, ideal for a facility that combines treatment for substance use and mental health needs with the therapeutic benefits of the natural environment.

We will offer support for people to address their health and social care needs, support the rural economy and conserve our shared natural environment.

This is an ideal combination of sustainable personal and environmental growth and recovery.

We have long understood the value of connecting to our environment to support mental health and wellbeing. In 2001, we developed a therapeutic approach to support people in treatment for drug and alcohol issues to connect to nature and open spaces.

Over the last 20 years, this work has contributed to the conservation and environmental regeneration of many areas across the UK. Find out more here.

Following a consultation with stakeholders of the new service the Muirhead Care Home has been renamed Rae House.

Please see more information about the Muirhead Care Home Project outlined in the PDF here.
