Prescription Drug Addiction

Within our purpose-built, luxury rehab centre, the Delamere experience is deliberately intensive and immersive in order to help you or a loved one to grow from any addiction not only physically, but mentally and spiritually too.

At Delamere, we provide a purpose-built healing retreat in Cheshire. Many of the professionals that make up the Delamere team have lived experience of addiction and recovery. This gives them a unique insight and understanding into the challenges every guest faces when trying to stay clear of drugs and other addictive substances and behaviours outside of the treatment environment.

At Delamere, we believe in the power of individuality and tailor your treatment to align with your unique needs, rather than following a rulebook. After supporting you through an assisted medical detox where you will have 24-hour support available to you, the next step of our prescription drug addiction treatment addresses the psychological aspects and root causes of the addiction through a variety of individual, group, and holistic therapies.

Guests will acquire the tools they need to remain abstinent and on completion of the residential programme stay connected with intermediate care and aftercare programmes.
