From First Contact to Admission

Starting treatment at Ocean Recovery begins with a confidential conversation with our admissions team. We’ll take the time to understand your circumstances, discuss your alcohol or drug use, and answer any questions you have. From there, we can recommend suitable treatment options and help you take the next steps towards admission.

    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!

    I found every member of staff very approachable and professional and the clients very nice people. I have the pleasure in calling them good friends. Maybe I got lucky but came into a very special group. Eveyone from the Lee the Chef to Karen the head house cleaner was all marvellous..Special mention to my case worker Iain.. Thank you I've learnt so much about myself guys

    This place helped me grow and become more aware of my short comings yet still move forward. I found my tribe here. Every single member of staff had an impact on me from support team, amazing house keeping and Lee's morning disco in the dining room. I will treasure my time and the people who I now consider as friends. Thank you

    I 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.

    Spent 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 experience

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right rehab treatment provider can be a life-changing decision; here are some of the most common questions we are asked pre-admission.

Is inpatient or outpatient treatment more suitable for me?

Inpatient rehab offers a safe, structured setting with 24-hour medical care and therapeutic support, making it the preferred option for people with more complex addictions or those who would benefit from time away from everyday triggers. Outpatient treatment can be effective for those with less severe substance use who are able to attend regular appointments and continue with work or family responsibilities. Our admissions team can help you decide which approach is right for you.

How long does drug or alcohol rehabilitation last?

Rehabilitation can vary in length depending on the severity of the addiction. However, our programmes typically last between 7 and 28 days. In extreme cases, we can offer up to 90-day rehabilitation programmes. All of our programmes are also always followed by a one-year aftercare programme.

What addiction treatments are available?

We offer evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual, including:

How do I know if I need professional help for my addiction?

It can be difficult to know exactly what help is needed and when with addiction. If you’re experiencing any addiction symptoms such as decreasing mental or physical health, it may be time to seek help. If you’re not sure, speak to a member of our team today on 01253 847 553 for guidance.

Do I have to travel far from Manchester to access treatment?

Manchester’s nearest Ocean Recovery Centre is located just over 90 minutes away in Blackpool. Easily accessible by car or transport routes, many find that our centre is far enough from home routines and triggers to focus on recovery, while still being reachable if needed.

What types of addictions do you treat?

We provide treatment for a wide range of addictions, including:

What happens after I leave rehab?

Once your treatment has ended, we can provide a 12-month aftercare plan to prevent future relapses. This plan includes support groups, prevention planning, and access to counsellors.

Can family members be involved in the rehab process?

With family therapy sessions and group workshops to aid support, we always encourage family and friends to be a part of your recovery.

How soon can I be admitted?

In most cases, we can accommodate admission within 24 hours depending on availability. We recommend calling us privately on 01253 847 553 to discuss availability.
