Alcoholism can affect anyone from any background. If left untreated, it can affect all areas of life, including your relationships, professional ambitions, and physical and psychological well-being. With the help of our medically trained clinicians, therapists, and psychologists, we provide personalised treatments and skilled care at our alcohol rehab centres.
Rehabilitation from alcohol involves several phases, the order of which depends on the severity of alcoholism being treated.
Typically, the first phase is detoxification, usually lasting up to a week. During this phase, and under the supervision of qualified and trained health professionals, you’ll begin the process of ridding your body of alcohol and its toxins. For those with severe alcoholism, withdrawal can be life-threatening and medical treatments may be required. If you have tried to quit alcohol in the past and have had seizures or any other serious symptoms, it’s crucial that you don’t try to withdraw without medical supervision.
Once your body is rid of alcohol and your alcohol withdrawal symptoms have reduced, you’ll enter the rehabilitation phase. This will involve cognitive behavioural therapy, group therapy, addiction therapy, mental health support, and a range of other evidence-based treatments.
Mostly, this phase is about understanding your triggers for drinking alcohol, while learning coping mechanisms and practices to prevent relapse. Given it’s psychological nature, this phase can range anywhere from a couple of weeks up to a month. And the tactics and techniques learned in this phase will continue way beyond your time in residential rehabilitation.
After the rehabilitation phase, you’ll likely be ready to continue your recovery from home. But don’t worry, you won’t be left to fend for yourself. Aftercare is an essential part of any addiction treatment journey, helping you stay on track with a sober life. At Ocean Recovery, all our clients receive 1 year of free aftercare support.
During your aftercare programme, you will have access to several treatments, such as:
Our seaside residential rehabilitation centre boasts stunning views of its surroundings while maintaining a homey feeling inside to aid rest and recovery. At Ocean Recovery, we can host up to 13 people at one time to ensure bespoke and dedicated care with exclusive sea-view rooms for a touch of luxury.

Get In TouchAre you suffering from Alcohol Addiction and need help? Ocean Recovery is a leading UK based expert in Private Alcohol Rehab. Find out how we can help by getting in touch with our friendly team today.
If you start an inpatient rehab programme, you will have a full health check upon arrival at the alcohol rehab centre. You will be interviewed, and our addiction counsellors will draw up an alcohol treatment programme based on your individual needs. You will not be allowed to drink alcohol from this point onwards.
The programme will include mental health treatment such as cognitive behavioural therapy, group therapy, addiction therapy and a range of evidence-based treatments.
You will have your own private room and help at hand as soon as you start to experience withdrawal symptoms.
If you decide to tackle your alcohol use disorder as an outpatient, you will need to speak with your GP about the drug and alcohol addiction services available in the local area. They will connect you with local support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, and other council-led programmes.
This form of alcohol treatment is also less intensive compared to residential alcohol rehab. You will be free to live at home, work, or care for your family.
In our alcohol rehab, you will begin a range of therapies after you have successfully completed detoxification.
These holistic therapies will help uncover any underlying causes that contribute towards your alcohol problems. Therapy is very important to maintain sobriety and helps lead to a full recovery over a long period of time.
Our inpatient treatment programmes provide access to :
Often, those coming to rehab for alcohol treatment end up with a dual diagnosis. This is where a person suffers from a mental health issue and an addiction at the same time. If you leave alcohol rehab and any mental issues have not been diagnosed and treated, this will increase the chances of relapse.
To achieve sobriety over the long term, we take a holistic approach and deal not only with your physical addiction but the psychological aspects that contribute towards your alcohol abuse.
This phase of your treatment focuses on a wide range of therapies and treatments to help you manage your addiction triggers. During the rehab stage of addiction treatment, you will learn how to cope with and manage everyday situations you may have to face once you leave the rehab centre.
Unfortunately, when you undertake alcohol treatment as an outpatient, you will not have this 24-hour dedicated mental health support and range of treatment options. You may attend a local drug rehab that provides free services, but the service is not personalised and is organised more on a drop-in basis.
You can also access group therapy in free services such as Alcoholics Anonymous, which can help you stop your alcohol use by following practices such as the 12-step programme.
But it is easy to fall back and drink alcohol again when you try to recover in the community. If you have a busy social life or family members drink alcohol, you may find yourself surrounded by alcohol use in your everyday life, increasing the chances of relapse.

Loneliness is something that people deal with all year round. For some reason, though, loneliness can feel more intense at Christmas, a time that is supposed to be filled with celebration and joy. Last year, over 9 million adults in the UK worried about being lonely at Christmas and it is now a continuing problem
Healthcare and medicine have always revolved around technology. Now, the drug and alcohol addiction treatment sector is no different, as advances in technology are revolutionising care in this country. Last year, the government announced pilot schemes for wearable technology, virtual reality and artificial intelligence to be used in recovery. The explosion of AI in mental
A study by Bupa in 2025 found that over half of UK workers admitted to having struggled with some form of addiction. It is a more common problem in society than we like to admit, and many people don’t let others know they are struggling because of the stigma and language around addiction. How we
Recovery from addiction is a hugely transformative experience and gives you the opportunity to reclaim control of your health, relationships and future. One of the biggest aspects of life after addiction is rebuilding a career. For many, returning to work or starting a new professional path can feel daunting, but it’s also an important part
Unfortunately, addiction, in all its forms, remains a persistent problem in this country. According to the latest government figures, 3.1% of people are struggling with drug addiction. In the most recent numbers released, it was estimated that 608,416 adults were addicted to alcohol. Though there is a growing understanding and empathy for people suffering from
For many people, drinking is a normal part of social life. A glass of wine with dinner, a pint at the weekend, or a toast at a wedding. All seemingly harmless. But for some, drinking becomes more than just a way to unwind. It can slowly take over daily life, relationships, work, and mental health.
Heroin addiction is a continuing problem in society. America has, for many years, been in the grip of an opioid crisis, fuelled by the rise of fentanyl. Problems around opiates exist in the UK, with 2,551 deaths involving them, according to the latest figures. People can take fentanyl knowingly, or it is in drugs such

If you are struggling with an alcohol addiction or drink casually and are worried about how alcohol affects menopause, you should educate yourself. Going through these changes
Since very recently, the understanding of alcohol use and its associated disorders has been up for debate. The traditional, binary view of individuals as either “alcoholics” or “non-alcoholics” is being challenged by a more nuanced perspective that recognises a spectrum of problematic alcohol use. This shift is a direct reflection of the varied experiences of
Drug addiction is a continuing problem in the UK. In the latest ONS release, 5,448 drug-related deaths were recorded in England and Wales – which is a considerable increase from the previous year. Opioids are a big reason for these numbers. Excluding drug-related deaths where the substances involved are not mentioned, opioids are responsible for
