Addiction can destroy a life, damage relationships and attack self-worth.
Our specialist addictions’ unit guides addicts towards a life free from compulsive negative behaviours. We help people with both the physiological and psychological consequences of addiction; enabling them to regain the life they want with dignity and self-respect, equipping them to maintain a lifetime recovery.
We utilise a range of therapies taking the best elements of each one to offer our patients a powerful, proven framework to help them get well and stay well, offering a comprehensive treatment programme for inpatients, day care patients or outpatients. This programme is based on an integrative approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), and 12 step facilitation (TSF).
Our specialist services treat alcohol abuse and drug addiction, the latter in a wide range of substances from cannabis, cocaine, heroin and ecstasy to crystal meth and amphetamines. In addition to our drugs and alcohol expertise we also provide a specialist gambling addiction service specifically designed to break the cycle of this problem. London's first problem-gambling support group was launched at Capio Nightingale Hospital in 2008.
Detoxification is the first step in treatment if an individual is physically dependent on drugs. This can be provided as an inpatient or outpatient service and is supervised by trained medical specialists. Subsequently, rehabilitation treatment can begin through group and individual therapy. After an inpatient stay with us, many of our addiction patients begin a tailored, day care programme to ease them back into taking control of their lives.
We also provide support for a range of life problems including family issues, employment and financial concerns and our care and support extends to partners and families.
