Drug and Alcohol Rehab Near Oldham
We are a 13-bed residential clinic for adults aged 18 and over. You’ll find us right on Blackpool’s North Shore Promenade, with comfy bedrooms, nice communal spaces, a dining area, and a peaceful outdoor space as well.
When you come to Ocean Recovery, the first thing we do is get a good understanding of how you are, health-wise, and what you need to get your life back on track. If residential care is the right option for you, we put together a treatment plan that includes a medically supervised detox, one-on-one and group therapy, and a dedicated aftercare programme.
Give us a call on 01253 847 553 to have a chat about what’s on offer, availability, travel arrangements, and all the costs involved.
Residential Treatment at Ocean Recovery
We’ll tailor the care you receive to suit your needs, and that starts with an assessment. That might include getting some help for the physical side of coming off drugs or alcohol, one-to-one and group therapy sessions, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), support for any trauma you may have been through, working with family members to help them understand what’s going on and some guidance on how to avoid relapse.
Want to know if residential treatment is the right option for you? Just give us a ring on 01253 847 553. We can walk you through the whole assessment process, tell you all about what’s included in your programme and what the costs are.

What to Expect from Treatment at Ocean Recovery
Everyone goes through a similar process, but each rehab programme is tailored to your specific needs. When you enter Ocean Recovery, our team will assess your needs and create a tailored treatment programme for your recovery.
Admissions
Our admissions process is designed to make starting treatment as easy and comfortable as possible. You’ll speak with a member of our team who will listen carefully, provide guidance, and collect the information needed to build a treatment programme around your individual recovery journey.
Medically Supervised Detox
You will begin the rehabilitation process on the drug and alcohol detox wing. With the help and support of our medical team, you’ll undergo medically supported detox to cleanse your body of any remaining drugs or alcohol.
Detoxing is usually accompanied by a variety of withdrawal symptoms, which is why staying in a rehab clinic rather than detoxing alone can make withdrawal symptoms easier to deal with.
Personalised Care Plan for Drug and Alcohol Addiction
After detox, you’ll go through your treatment plan both individually and in groups with fellow patients. This helps you discover the causes of your addiction.
Trauma-informed care treatments may include:
View a full list of therapies.
Ongoing Support and Free Aftercare
When you successfully complete treatment with us, we’ll offer you a year of free aftercare. This is when you’re most likely to relapse, so we highly recommend you attend these sessions and utilise the relapse prevention techniques we’ve taught you.

Jane O'Mahoney
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 -
Laurence Birchenhall
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 -
Alexander Melville
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 -

Getting to Ocean Recovery from Oldham
Our drug and alcohol rehab clinic address is 94 Queen’s Promenade, Blackpool, FY2 9NS. The drive from Oldham is roughly 55 miles, and the journey usually takes just an hour.
If you’re not driving, there’s a public transport option available. You can take the tram from Oldham King Street to Deansgate-Castlefield, then switch to a train from there to Blackpool North. This whole journey can take a little over two hours, and then you’ve still got to get into the centre from the train station but the trains and trams do run fairly regularly.
If you need support with getting to the clinic, please don’t worry as we will be able to arrange this for you. Call admissions to confirm whether collection from your Oldham address can be arranged and what the current transport arrangements are.

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 Ocean Recovery actually in Oldham?
No, we’re based just a short drive away in Blackpool, 94 Queen’s Promenade to be exact. We’re one of the closest residential treatment clinics for adults from Oldham and the surrounding areas.
How far is it to drive to Ocean Recovery from Oldham?
It’s about 55 miles from Oldham to our doorstep in Blackpool. The drive to Blackpool takes anywhere from 50 minutes to over an hour – depending on traffic and where you’re starting from.
Can you arrange transport from Oldham?
We can offer free transport to clients, but it’s always best to give us a ring and check whether we can pick you up from home and confirm the details before you come to us.
Is there free drug and alcohol treatment available in Oldham?
Yes there is. Anyone over 18 can self-refer to Turning Point ROAR on 0300 555 0234, while young people and families can get in touch with Early Break on 0161 723 3880.
Can my family stay involved while I'm in rehab?
Yes. Regular contact with loved ones is encouraged where appropriate. Maintaining supportive relationships can be an important part of recovery, and our team can explain how family contact works during your residential treatment.
Why is aftercare important following addiction treatment?
Returning to everyday life can mean encountering stress, responsibilities and triggers that weren’t present in the structured environment of residential rehab. Aftercare provides continued support during this transition and can help you strengthen relapse prevention strategies and maintain the positive routines developed during treatment.
