Ocean Recovery Centre helps people in Blackburn who are struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Our clinics have operated in the professional care industry for over two decades with our tailored rehab programmes helping many.
Drug and alcohol issues are quite widespread in the UK; in fact, Public Health England estimates that over 2000 adults are living in Blackburn now, classed as alcohol dependent. So we understand that there are many people who need treatment and with some urgency.
To meet our professional aims, we offer state-of-the-art residential rehabilitation centres across the United Kingdom. Each centre is accessible for men and women of all ages. Many of our clients travel from all across the United Kingdom to attend our specialist centre in Lancashire, where we are conveniently located along the coastline, only a short few miles from Blackburn.
Drug deaths have been going up in Blackburn in recent years. For this reason, especially if you have a serious longstanding addiction, it is vital that you get help to quit before you come to some serious harm. This does not even include the expansive range of comorbidities addictions can bring and long-term health consequences.
Getting Drug Addiction Treatment in Blackburn
If you wish to receive drug and alcohol addiction treatment in Blackpool you can investigate what free Local resources are available and join local therapy sessions or visit a rehab facility like Ocean Recovery.
Outpatient Services
You can ask your local GP in Blackpool about services in the community, find your local General Practioner in Blackburn on the NHS website.
These services are administered as an outpatient and you will visit therapy sessions or counselling support groups on certain days throughout the month.
This is quite unstructured but it also allows you to stay in the community and go to work and scheduled appointments as normal. The downside is having to detox and quit drug abuse at home can be challenging for many people.
Residential Addiction Services
Ocean Recovery is what is known as a private rehab, here you stay in our rehab centre as a resident for a period of time.
The benefit of this is that you have constant support through detox by medical professionals and a structured therapy routine to give you the best chance of making a long-term recovery.
The downside of this is that rehab costs around £ 3,000, and you will not be allowed to come and go as you please. You will stay at our rehab centre and complete the programme to ensure you are fully clean and free from addiction before you leave the rehab centre.
Reviews of Ocean Recovery Centre
We want you to feel confident that you’re making the right decision to come to Ocean Recovery Centre to fight your addiction, which is why we encourage you to read our honest reviews from our past in-patients.
We’re incredibly proud of those who have made the commitment to rehab, especially in an in-patient setting. Find reviews from past in-patients below and find out how they found sobriety with the help of our centre and experienced staff.
Ocean was the first step in my journey to recovery. I arrived not knowing I was going in to rehab and absolutely terrified whilst experiencing horrific withdrawals and not knowing where I was. I can’t say enough about how compassionate and caring the team working at Ocean are. I am beyond grateful for the month detox in Ocean and the help the team gave me to find my next step in my recovery journey upon leaving. It really is a safe haven during the vulnerable detox stage and there were plenty of laughs to be had in my four weeks at Ocean. A huge thank you and I will be eternally grateful for all of the support - which continues in aftercare after leaving!Jane O'MahoneySeptember 13, 2023I turned up as possibly the most reluctant guest ever to grace the doors at Blackpool. The patience of those who welcomed me was apparently second to none (although I have no memory). My experience was second to none, staff , brilliant, patient, understanding, wise. I can’t thank them enough for pretty much saving my life. If the staff read this they will know exactly what I have to be grateful for! Thanks you you all.Alexander MelvilleJune 10, 2023The staff are outstanding, genuinely caring and always going above and beyond. Great location and facilities. Highly recommendedGraham WillarsApril 28, 2023Spent 4 weeks at Ocean and it was like a holiday. Food is restaurant standard and its super modern and clean. It cost around 12 grand for 28 days in June 2022. I was an opiate painkiller addict and alcoholic and withdrawal from morphine a few years earlier was like going through a Heroine rattle and so i was very scared of suffering withdrawal. I suffered no pain or discomfort because of the cocktail of medication they gave me to detox. (Librium amongst others) The staff, are professional and know exactly what addicts go through. Every staff member I knew were recovered addicts. Walks on beach every day. Be aware, Caffeine is banned so becareful what you take in. I will admit 28 days without Caffeine was exhausting and painful so I snuck Jars of coffee in every week from the shop. I have bipolar so self medicating with Caffeine relieves the fatigue from low mood. We had a group between 7 to 15 within the month. About 6 people told the rest of us what other high charging centres were like and everyone said Ocean is the best. Your own room, private bathrooms and no indoor cameras. Most other centres watch your every move via a camera surveillance system. Ocean recovery allows mobile phones too. Many don't. Take it from me, this is the best option. Yes its costly. But you get what you pay for. I've been in recovery 9 months and my whole life has changed. Anyway, that's my experienceJody HornerFebruary 27, 2023Hi it is a great place, with brilliant caring staff, who are willing to go the extra mile to help you in your recovery, from helping with your health and well-being to getting and staying sober and relapse prevention. It gives you all the tools you need to help you, emotionally, mentally and physically during your stay and beyond. It provides a setting, where you can concentrate on yourself and your recovery, with great chefs and a great maintenence team all your needs are taken carelesving you free not to worry about a thing.jacko jacksonJanuary 30, 2023BrilliantMilly NoxJanuary 30, 2023

Is It Better To Move out of Blackburn for Rehab?
Some people prefer to go to rehab outside of their home town as they feel it will be easier to stay away from old friends and any old temptations.
Others find that staying close to home is best for them as they have the support of family and friends close by.
In making the decision about whether you should move out of the local area for rehab treatment, you must consider what is best for you as an individual.
Do you have dependents? Can you afford to take the time out of work whilst you recover? Are you more likely to stay away from old temptations if you are further away from them?
These are all important factors that must be considered when making the decision about where to have your treatment.
Aftercare and Extended Care – Making Sure Your Recovery is Lasting
To further our aim of helping clients attain long-term recovery, we offer a long-term aftercare provision. Here, clients are assigned an individual aftercare manager who is on hand should clients experience relapse following their return to ‘normal life’ away from our immediate care.
This aftercare service is valid for twelve months following clients’ discharge from our residential centre. There is no addiction cost for aftercare. Aftercare comes ‘as standard’ for each client who attends our rehabilitation programme, regardless of the duration of the programme.
