What is addiction treatment?

Addiction treatment is a highly specialist practice that involves a combination of medical intervention, one-to-one counselling, group therapy, holistic treatments, and ongoing aftercare to prevent relapse.

At Delamere, the aim is to treat the root causes of the addiction, address harmful behaviours and develop coping strategies to live life free from addiction.

Modern addiction treatment at Delamere

Addiction treatment is suitable for anyone who has developed an unhealthy relationship with either a substance, such alcohol or drugs, or a behaviour, which includes porn addiction, shopping addiction and gambling addiction.

When someone begins to prioritise their addiction over their friends, family, work or school, and overall health, they will benefit from tailored addiction treatment. It’s never too late, or too early, to ask for help.

Our 4-phase Holistic Treatment Model

Addiction treatment at Delamere is designed to provide you or a loved one with the necessary tools to live a life free from addiction.

During your time at Delamere, our four-phase programme will start by taking you through a safe and assisted medical detox supervised by our team of medical professionals.

United by a common goal to support guests in growing from addiction, our Delamere team is made up of passionate therapists, doctors, nurses, counsellors, and support staff, some of whom have also overcome addictions themselves.

Bloom

Our ‘Bloom’ phase offers intensive support on a weekly basis for the first three months of recovery once guests return home.

Our emphasis is on holistic care to treat addiction and associated issues. This means that we treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms they present with. We believe that successful treatment runs far deeper than simply stopping the addictive substance or behaviour.

Our approach at Delamere comprises four core phases: Stop, Start, Grow, & Bloom. Everything we offer at Delamere aims at effective and lasting outcomes in addiction treatment:

How addiction treatment works – what to expect

Addiction treatment starts with a personalised assessment to understand your needs. We’ll explore your physical and mental health and discuss your medical history.

If you’ve come into Delamere for drug or alcohol addiction, a medical detox will help you to withdraw safely. After this, you’ll be assigned a focal therapist who will introduce you to talking therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), in individual and group settings.

Day 1 to 3

The first few days of addiction treatment focus on restoring your physical health. You’ll have your own private room to rest and recuperate.

Week 1

By the end of week one most of the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms will have stabilised and you’ll be engaging in light therapy.

Week 2 onwards

In the following weeks you’ll benefit from a range of different therapies, from meditation to journaling, tailored to your specific needs to help you overcome addiction.

How to encourage a loved one to get addiction treatment help

If you’re looking for addiction treatment help for a family member, work colleague, or loved one, we’re here to help. At Delamere, we provide family support services and help your loved one confront addiction and denial.

Should it be necessary, we also offer intervention services whereby we take the time to understand what is happening and help prepare and rehearse a formal intervention that will culminate in your loved one entering treatment with us. If you are considering organising an intervention for your loved one, friend, or colleague, contact Delamere today.
