Treatment programmes for drug and alcohol rehabilitation

We use a wide range of treatment techniques and therapies in order to treat addiction. It enable sut to take a holistic approach to your treatment. In other words: we don’t just treat the symptoms, we also treat the psychological and causal factors behind your battle with addiction.

The array of treatments we offer, include:

Detoxification

The symptoms of drug or alcohol dependency are best dealt with by gradually reducing the amount you take until you are at the point of being completely free of the substance. We ensure you avoid any dangerous withdrawal symptoms, by making your detox a carefully tapered process. A healthy diet and added food supplements, where necessary, will also aid your recovery.

Medicinal substitution

For those individuals addicted to hard drugs, such as heroine, a safer replacement drug may be offered. As with the detox, the idea is to gradually decrease your reliance on the drug. In the case of heroine, methadone may be offered as a replacement. The amounts prescribed are gradually reduced until the dependance has gone.

Talking therapies

In recent years, talking therapies, such as CBT, have proven to be very successful in building an individual’s emotional resilience. They can learn to understand how their thoughts and feelings influence their decision-making. Equipped with this understanding, they are more able to avoid making the wrong decision in the future and manage their emotions more effectively.

One-to-one counselling

Throughout your stay, you will be offered one-to-one counselling with a qualified professional. They will help guide you through your progress and help you stay on track during your rehab journey and thereafter. It’s also your opportunity to open-up about whatever issues are on your mind.

Group sessions

We may also offer the opportunity to participate in group session with others suffering from addiction. It can be reassuring to know that you’re not the only one with an addiction problem. It’s also very helpful to hear how other people are coping. Group sessions can be informative and inspiring all at the same time.
