Addictions

We are here to help, guide and empower the people who come to us seeking change.

The aim of our Addictions Unit is to arrest and reverse the devastating and destructive consequences of addiction, thereby promoting change and a return to a fulfilling and productive life. This in turn also benefits the families and partners of the addicted person.

The Addictions Unit employs a multidisciplinary team that are all specialists in the treatment of addictions. We treat alcohol addiction and drug addiction as well as behavioural addictions, including problem gambling and technology addiction.

Our success in treating patients is achieved by using our individualised treatment programmes in combination with therapies that are based on contemporary clinical evidence. We employ a biopsychosocial approach using CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), MET (Motivational Enhancement Therapy) and TSF (Twelve Step Facilitation). We detox, motivate, educate, support and promote positive and constructive thinking in a group setting.

Treatment is the first step, but maintenance is the key to long term recovery, so relapse prevention is a vital component. Anyone can undergo treatment, but relapse in the outside world is the greatest danger. With this in mind treatment does not end on discharge, we offer a step down day care programme, individual therapy to fortify and prolong motivation, plus free aftercare groups for patients and family members.
