Drug and Alcohol Treatment in St Helens
St Helens Treatment Centres
If you’re looking for drug and alcohol rehab in St Helens, then the last thing you want is a long wait for treatment, but by choosing the Ocean Recovery Centre, you can get help sooner than you think.
Why choose the Ocean Recovery Centre?
While you may have tried other types of addiction treatment in the past, and ultimately gone back to drink or drugs, at the Ocean Recovery Centre we have a comprehensive treatment programme to get you on the right track. As well as intensive treatment for your body and mind, we try to give you tools to cope once you leave rehab, and ensure you have a support network for long term success.
When you arrive at our centre, you’ll receive a full assessment so we can come up with a treatment plan to suit your needs. The first step to overcoming alcohol or drug addiction is a detox, which will be carried out under medical supervision. While this can lead to a number of withdrawal symptoms, we offer the option of prescription medication to ease your side effects. This is one of the advantages of staying at a clinic over home detoxes, as you can be monitored and therefore have more treatment options.
While you may have arrived at this page looking specifically for drug and alcohol rehab in St Helens, in our experience it’s often better to undertake rehab away from home. This is because you’re away from any negative influences such as friends who take drugs or your social circle who drink to excess, so you’re less likely to relapse. That’s why it’s better to look for treatment centres that aren’t in your hometown.

What’s Rehab like?
Those who contact us about private rehab often wonder what it’s like to stay in our clinic. They may imagine that it’s like a hospital, cold and clinical, but this assumption couldn’t be further from the truth.
Ocean Recovery Centre is set on the Blackpool seafront, and has a homely, welcoming environment. You’ll have a choice of private and en-suite rooms, all decorated to a high standard with all the little comforts you need.
While you stay with us, everything is taken care of from your meals to your laundry, giving you plenty of time to focus on your recovery. It’s a great environment to recover from drug or alcohol abuse, and you can be sure of the best support available during your stay.
Therapy and support groups start from day one of your rehab, so it’s a very recovery focused environment. You’ll go through a detox, which can lead to withdrawal symptoms, but we can offer you prescription drugs to make the process more pleasant. This is one of the advantages of staying in our clinic rather than doing home detoxes, and you’ll be closely monitored during the process. Detoxing can cause unpleasant side effects, and can even be dangerous if your body has become used to heavy drinking or drug abuse. That’s why you need professionals on hand to ensure you are kept safe.
Many people who come to us have a dual diagnosis, which means they have more than one addiction or mental health issue. We can help you find rehab treatments that specifically meet your needs, as you’ll often require a combination of therapies to recover.
What Therapy will be offered?
When you choose us for drug and alcohol rehab in St Helens, you can be sure of a wide choice of treatment options. Staying in residential rehab allows for you to undergo intensive individual therapy, which can help you identify why you began taking drugs, which can help you overcome your addiction.
Group therapy is also an important part of the process, where everyone staying at the clinic can talk about their drug and alcohol addictions. We can also offer specialist treatments such as family therapy, which can help heal relationships.
However, rehab isn’t all about talking therapies. We want you to leave the Ocean Recovery Centre feeling refreshed and healthy. We offer holistic therapies from massage to aromatherapy, as well as healthy meals, fitness sessions and much more.
Those who suffer from substance abuse often neglect their health, which can put a strain on their bodies, so we want to help you heal during your time here.
The support doesn’t end when you complete a 28-day programme. The Ocean Recovery Centre include 12 months of free aftercare, which helps you through that crucial first year after rehab.
These support groups take place in clinics owned by the Rehab Clinics Group, so we can find somewhere local to you. We can also offer suggestions such as local organisations, for example Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous, which offer an excellent support network for those going through recovery.
Make the Ocean Recovery Centre your first call when you’re looking for rehab in St Helens. All you need to do to get the ball rolling is to call us on 01253 847 553 or text HELP to 83222 and we’ll advise on the next steps to take.
