Psychological Therapies
Psychological therapies are sometimes referred to as ‘talking therapies’. They involve exploring the psychological difficulties that are getting in the way of how we would like to feel and are typically used for mental and emotional problems such as depression, stress, and anxiety, all of which fall under the umbrella of addiction.
All types of psychological therapies involve a trained therapist to help the patient understand the problems that they are experiencing and provide the tools needed to cope with them. Each client is monitored and taught strategies to address their mental health problems.
Some of the psychological therapies available at Ocean Recovery are:

Holistic Therapies
Ocean Therapy also offer Holistic Therapies which are available upon request at an additional cost. These therapeutic techniques involve applying different amounts of pressure to different body parts such as the feet and hands to relieve tension and reduce stress and anxiety. These holistic methods are reported to improve general wellbeing and relax the body. Options available upon request at Ocean Recovery include:
- Massage
- Reflexology
The combination of these therapies is extremely important and will help recovery. The addiction sufferer will be required to engage in the core aspects of the programme to ensure recovery. Each therapy will be discussed during a pre-admission assessment. The intensity and choice of therapy method can vary depending on the programme.
Social Activities
Social activities are a key element to recovery and general wellbeing. Sharing experiences and talking about personal journeys with others who are experiencing similar problems can encourage clients to persevere with rehab treatment. At Ocean Recovery engagement in social activities are encouraged, including some of the below:
- Daily Group Walks or Beach Runs
- Leisure & Group Outings
- Quiz Nights, Team Games & Film Nights
- Fellowship Events
- Family Visits
Keeping active and maintaining social interactions during rehab treatment is an incredibly important part of recovery. Addiction can often be isolating so it is a necessary step to reintegrate with people and to bond with others who have shared similar experiences. Social exclusion which has resulted from drug addiction can make leaving rehab a daunting process which is why social interactions are encouraged during every clients stay.

Ocean Recovery supports each client on an individual basis. During a residential drug and alcohol rehab treatment programme, specific additional (chargeable) services can also be arranged upon request. These include, but are not limited to:
- Hair & Beauty Sessions
- Nail Services, Manicure & Pedicure
- Chiropody
- Dentistry
- Optician

These services are open for request but please note that some options may require confirmation from a Doctor at Ocean Recovery Clinic, especially during the first stages of detox to ensure client physical and mental safety. See our 12 Steps of Addiction page for more info on addiction and therapy.
