Drug addiction help from Delamere
Delamere is not just a drug addiction treatment centre, we provide a healing retreat for personal growth, connection, and transformation. Many of the professionals that make up the Delamere team have lived experience of addiction and recovery. This gives us a unique insight and understanding into the challenges every guest faces when trying to stay clean outside of the treatment environment.
Our state-of-the-art private rehab in Cheshire is purpose-built to deliver outstanding drug addiction treatment for all drugs whether it be a cocaine addiction or a prescription drug addiction. The team at Delamere comprises Doctors, Nurses, Therapists, and Mentors who support our guests in
co-creating a care plan that meets their individual needs. Together they call on both time-tested and innovative treatments and holistic therapies to blend an immersive, wholehearted experience that’s rooted in change, healing, and truth.
After supporting you through a safe, assisted medical detox, the next step of our drug addiction treatment addresses the psychological aspects and root causes of the addiction through a variety of individual and group therapies. Guests will learn how to stay clean and find rehab aftercare services local to them to support their continued recovery after their Delamere retreat.

When to seek drug addiction treatment
Drug addiction results from repeated drug abuse. In addiction the brain’s pleasure/reward centre becomes damaged; causing new pathways to form which prioritise drugs above basic human needs. People typically seek drug addiction help within a drug rehab when their relationship with drugs has become detrimental to themselves and the people around them physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
Physical signs and symptoms will vary depending on the drug being used. Stimulant drugs such as amphetamine and cocaine speed up the body and brain, whilst depressant drugs including opiates, sleeping tablets, and cannabis have the opposite effect
Some of the common signs of drug addiction include:
- Strong drug cravings and compulsion to use
- Drug tolerance: needing more or mixing drugs for effect
- Drug dependence: experiencing withdrawal without drugs
- Bloodshot or ‘glazed’ eyes with constricted or dilated pupils
- Changes in weight, appearance, and speech
- Being unreachable for extended periods
- Frequent drug intoxication
- Substantial changes in sleeping pattern and physical health
Over the years, our professionals have worked with many guests who have battled drug addiction. For this reason, we understand that we’re all unique and different drugs present different challenges. Our experts assess the level of the problem before devising a tailored drug detox and support plan.

The Delamere approach to drug addiction treatment
An inpatient stay at Delamere is a deliberately intensive 4-phase drug addiction treatment, one which we have crafted over time and has helped many participants recover. 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 4 core phases: Stop, Start, Grow & Bloom. Everything we offer at Delamere aims at effective and lasting outcomes in addiction treatment:
-
Stage 1: StopThis phase addresses any physical aspects of your addiction. Our medical team is on hand 24/7 to ensure a safe and effective withdrawal.
-
Stage 2: StartDuring ‘Start’ we help identify the psychological underpinnings of your dependency as you participate in a variety of addiction treatment therapies.
-
Stage 3: GrowOur ‘Grow’ phase is the process of integrating the Delamere learning experience into life after treatment.
-
Stage 4: BloomOur ‘Bloom’ phase offers intensive support on a weekly basis for the first three months of recovery once guests return home.
How to encourage a loved one to get drug addiction help
Family members, friends, and even work colleagues (basically anyone who is close to someone suffering from a drug addiction) also suffer as a direct result of the dysfunctional behaviours and the immense fear that addiction creates.
If you are looking for help for a friend, working with someone, or living alongside someone who is displaying symptoms of a drug addiction, we’re here to help. It may be that the person in question is in denial about the extent of their problem, possibly even refusing to acknowledge that there’s a problem – and resisting professional 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.

Frequently asked questions about drug addiction treatment
How long does drug addiction treatment take?
Everyone has different treatment needs depending on many factors in particular depending on the drug they are addicted to and how long they have been taking it for. At Delamere, we believe that our deliberately intensive, immersive, and comprehensive treatment programme encourages profound transformations within a relatively short space of time. For this reason, we offer 28 or 42 day packages to our guests.

Do you also treat prescription drug addictions at Delamere?
Just like illicit drugs, prescription drugs can also be extremely addictive and begin to take control of a person’s life. If you are worried about any form of prescription drug addiction, whether for you or someone you care for, we can help. We provide both a full prescription drug detox and prescription drug rehab treatment to help you or a loved one safely and successfully stop the addiction once and for all.
