“Delamere focuses on equipping you with the tools to love sobriety and understand what led to the addiction in the first place which really helped me grow.” Delamere Guest, 2021

What is alcohol counselling?

Alcohol counselling is a type of talking therapy that can be delivered on an individual basis (one to one) or within a group setting.

Many that suffer from alcohol addiction do not understand why they are unable to control their alcohol consumption or resist the compulsion to drink.

Alcohol counselling can help the patient to better understand their condition, as well as addressing many individual issues that act as a catalyst for drinking.

Removing the alcohol safely through a medical alcohol detox is only the very beginning of the long road to recovery. Once sober, the psychological aspect that drives active addiction must then be comprehensively treated.

When an alcoholic only undergoes treatment for the physical aspect of their addiction (alcohol detox), with the same thinking and behaviours that drove their alcoholism, they are extremely vulnerable to suffering from anxiety, depression and alcoholic relapse.

In order to make a FULL recovery from alcohol addiction, it is imperative that a profound change in mindset and outlook is achieved. Alcohol counselling is integral to achieving this.
