Stop. Start. Grow

Your recovery journey from Zolpidem addiction takes the form of a three-stage process that’s carefully designed to deliver the most successful outcomes.

Stage 1: Stop

The first step at Delamere typically lasts around a week and addresses the physical aspects of your recovery, while gently introducing you to therapy and addiction education. This is all about halting your past habits – with a medically managed detox if necessary – stabilising your body and mind, and helping you feel as comfortable as possible.

Light therapy and core assignments are slowly introduced as you start to regain your physical strength – all with the aim of preparing you for the final two stages of our treatment process.

Throughout the ‘Stop’ stage, you will of course have full, unwavering support from our caring nursing professionals and devoted Recovery and Wellbeing teams.

Stage 2: Start

Next, you’ll transition into the ‘Start’ stage, which aims to reveal and understand the psychological root cause of your battle with Zolpidem.

Typically lasting two weeks, this phase will see you working closely with your assigned therapist, who will draw up a bespoke schedule of treatment that will include the likes of workshops, interactive group activities, somatic release work and individual therapy.

This stage also encompasses reflection and processing, utilising both traditional and innovative therapies such as dynamic meditation, body scanning, forest bathing, breathwork, drama and ritual.

Each activity is rooted in evidence-based practices, and our efforts are geared towards achieving lasting, positive outcomes.

Stage 3: Grow

Once you’ve completed the ‘Stop’ and ‘Start’ phases of treatment, you’ll be ready to embrace your life outside of the residence free of your dependency on Zolpidem.

However, in order to ensure you’re able to truly preserve the progress you’ve made with us, the ‘Grow’ phase focuses on helping you rebuild your life, heal relationships and maintain a strong connection with the team here at Delamere.

Remember, you’ll still have access to therapy sessions for up to a year after you leave and will end your treatment with a personalised plan of action for maintaining your amazing progress beyond rehab.
