Where to Get Help For Addiction
If you have determined that you or a loved one is suffering with a drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek treatment. Ongoing substance abuse causes both physical and psychological health problems which will likely become worse the longer an addiction lasts for.
Not only does substance addiction negatively affect your health, it can also ruin your social life. Addiction threatens your livelihood, including your relationships, your job and house security, as well as your safety.
It is important to receive rehab treatment if you have a drug or alcohol addiction. Residential rehab has been proven to be the most successful form of addiction treatment as it is intense and you are surrounded by support and the facilities you need to make a full recovery.
At Ocean Recovery, we offer state of the art treatments and have some of the best addiction recovery specialists in the UK. We offer intensive drug and alcohol detox programmes where you will be monitored and supported 24/7 by our recovery team. You will then be provided with proven therapies which aim to treat the mental side of alcohol and drug addiction, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Group Therapy, and Holistic therapies.
