The Causeway Retreat was an addiction treatment centre located on Osea Island near Essex, England, from 2005 to 2010. ==History== In 1903 Frederick Nicholas Charrington, who had disinherited himself from his family's brewing business and become a prominent temperance campaigner in London's East End, purchased an island off the coast of Maldon, Essex called Osea Island. During Mr Charrington's time the island provided free treatment to those individuals suffering from the ill effects of alcohol and opiate addiction. In return for treatment clients would remain on the island and work the land. The island was eventually requisitioned by the Admiralty and subsequently turned into a top secret torpedo manufacturing base for both World Wars. In 2005 Brendan Quinn psychiatric nurse with a diploma in addiction treatment founded The Causeway Retreat for addiction treatment on Osea island, with business partner Nigel Frieda, a music producer. Although The Causeway Retreat has been closed down, the island continues to be used as a non-profit retreat by former servicemen and women suffering from PTSD. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Causeway Retreat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
