There is no magic ‘cure’ for addiction. Recovery is an ongoing process but drug and alcohol rehab can give you the very best chance to make a long-lasting recovery and take back control of your life. All our addiction recovery programmes are built on a strong evidence base and years of experience. This makes rehab a wise choice for anyone wanting to break free from the misery of addiction.

Some offenders in the criminal justice system may be required to seek treatment for an addiction but for most addicts, there is no obligation to go to rehab. A rehab programme is also far more likely to be effective if the person genuinely wishes to change and participates fully in the therapies and treatments made available. Some people struggling with addiction may be in denial or become defensive. We can offer support for family , friends and others who may be concerned about a loved one. This could include confidential advice on how to talk to the person about their addiction, or even a guided addiction intervention service.

The detoxification process can be painful but the type of physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms experienced can vary widely depending on the substance involved and other factors. Alcohol withdrawal, for example, can lead to physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle pain, shakes, tremors and even seizures. It is always best to undergo detox in a supervised setting such as rehab.
