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.

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.

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.
