Drug Dependency

In time, addicts will seek help when the pain of feeding their addiction is perceived to be greater than the pain of giving up.  Tackling the issues associated with 'starting again' such as paying off dealers, covering the cost of general living and prescribing alternative drugs can have a detrimental effect if the addict chooses to act alone without guidance or more importantly structure.

Drug Detox

Detoxification is a medically supervised treatment programme for alcohol or drug addiction designed to purge the body of intoxicating or addictive substances. It is usually the first step in overcoming addiction. For more information on detox, please click here.

The process usually lasts from a few days up to a few weeks depending on the type of drugs taken, the amounts, the administration route and the time the patient has been using it. Detoxification usually involves the use of different medications aiming to reduce the withdrawal symptoms of the drug the patient is dependent on.

Detoxification is the most simple and straightforward aspect of the treatment; it is the learning process associated with staying off drugs which proves to be the most traumatic episode and that is where our residential programme is so effective.
