Take the first step towards a healthier, happier life
Are you or a loved one struggling with sleeping pill addiction? In a world that never sleeps, finding rest can be a struggle. You might find yourself dependent on sleeping pills just to make it through the night. Or you may have even started to enjoy the feeling of drowsiness, leading you to taking them in the day.
We understand how tough it can be to admit that what began as a prescription or a way to get a good night’s sleep has spiralled into an addiction. We know you may now be scared of going through withdrawal symptoms or the social stigma of going to rehab.
But without expert support, the impact a sleeping pill addiction has on your life will only get progressively worse.
Yes, overcoming addiction is challenging. Yes, it’s a big step. But remember, every journey begins with a single step forward. Recovery is not just possible – it’s a reality for many people who once stood where you stand now.
And at Delamere, we believe recovery can even be fun!
We take residential addiction care to a new level, offering medically managed detoxification, a 24-hour on-site medical team, and a personalised, holistic treatment experience. All within a calm, relaxing and private setting and a nurturing atmosphere.
If you’re looking for support in finally beating your sleeping pill addiction and growing into the person you’ve always wanted to be, get in touch with the team of experts today and find out more about treatment at Delamere.
How do I know if I have a sleeping pill addiction?
Sleeping pill addiction can often start unnoticed. It might begin with a legitimate prescription for insomnia, then subtly escalate into dependency. Signs of addiction can include:
Feeling unable to sleep without the pills
Escalating the dosage without medical advice
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms without the medication
‘Doctor shopping’ or forging prescriptions to acquire more pills
Lying to loved ones about the extent of your use of sleeping pills
Enjoying the feeling of drowsiness brought on by sleeping pills
What are the symptoms of sleeping pill addiction?
The effects of sleeping pill addiction extends beyond your health, affecting your psychological well-being, physical state, and social life:
Psychological effects
Addiction can lead to mental health issues like:
Anxiety
Depression
Mood swings
You might also experience:
Memory problems
Confusion
Hallucinations
Suicidal thoughts
Physical effects
Chronic pain
Digestive issues
Heart problems due to prolonged misuse
Increased tolerance may lead to higher doses, and in turn, intensified withdrawal symptoms. Other physical signs include balance problems, shaking, and in severe cases, seizures.
Social effects
Addiction often leads to changes in behaviour, which can strain relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. You may struggle with work, leading to financial instability. In more serious cases, you might face legal issues if you’ve tried to obtain more pills illegally.

The benefits of sleeping pill rehab
Choosing to undergo rehab is a courageous decision – and one that is rewarded with a host of benefits:
Improved physical health
Long-term use of sleeping pills can lead to various serious physical health issues. By overcoming your addiction, you’ll alleviate these conditions and improve your overall physical wellbeing.
Better mental health
Addiction often co-exists with mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment. Successful recovery can improve your mental health, providing you with the tools to handle stress, anxiety, and insomnia without the crutch of medication.
Restored relationships
Addiction can strain relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. Recovery provides an opportunity to mend damaged relationships and rebuild trust. Through therapy and support, you can learn to communicate effectively and manage conflicts, leading to healthier, more satisfying relationships.
Improved financial situation
Addiction often leads to financial instability due to spending on pills, decreased productivity, or even job loss. Overcoming addiction allows you to regain control of your finances, providing a more stable foundation for your future.
Greater self-esteem and self-worth
Overcoming addiction is a significant accomplishment. The journey to recovery teaches resilience, self-compassion, and strength, leading to enhanced self-esteem. You’ll start to realise your worth outside of your addiction, opening up new possibilities for personal growth and fulfilment.
Opportunity for personal growth
The journey to recovery can be transformative. It requires introspection, learning new coping mechanisms, and understanding yourself better. This personal growth can positively impact all areas of your life, from your relationships to your career.
Freedom and control
Overcoming addiction provides a sense of freedom – the freedom to live without dependency and regain control over your life. You’ll be able to make choices that align with your long-term health and happiness, rather than being controlled by your addiction.
Sleeping pill rehab at Delamere
At Delamere, we create a safe, serene space where you can pause, breathe, and start healing away from life’s distractions.
Nestled within the tranquil Delamere Forest, our bespoke facility is purposefully designed to make your recovery as peaceful and comfortable as possible. We offer ensuite rooms that feel more like a cosy retreat than a medical facility.
You’ll have doctors and nurses always ready to support you, alongside a personalised programme filled with various therapies, somatic work, and other mindful practices.
But our aim isn’t just to help you overcome your addiction. We want to see you flourish and grow beyond it.
We believe everyone’s journey to recovery is unique, so we don’t adhere to conventional step-by-step programmes. Instead, we focus on understanding the underlying factors that fuel your addiction. Our holistic approach to recovery is centred around recognising what brought you here, in order to help you shape a healthier, happier future.
What to expect
When you arrive, you’ll be given a physical and psychological assessment by a doctor, which will include a breath test and urine test.
Your path to recovery will begin with a medically assisted detox. We understand that this might sound a bit daunting, but it’s all about ensuring your body and mind adjust safely without medication.
Rest assured, we’ll be by your side throughout, providing medication if needed and closely monitoring your progress to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible. This stage usually wraps up within the first week of your rehab programme.
Once the detox phase is completed, you’ll start working closely with a dedicated therapist. This isn’t just any therapist – it’s someone who will become your confidante and your guide. In one-on-one counselling sessions and group therapy, they’ll help you explore and understand the roots of your addiction.
Remember, it’s not about pointing fingers or laying blame. It’s about understanding, growing, and moving forward.
We’re here for you, ready to support you on this courageous journey to recovery.
What treatment is involved?
We provide pioneering, inspiring and effective treatment experiences, combined with the latest and best therapeutic, somatic and healing practices.
Your treatment may include:
Expert fitness and nutrition programmes
Yoga, mindfulness, breath work and meditation
Art, music and equine therapy
One-to-one therapy

Stop. Start. Grow
Your journey to recovery from sleeping pill addiction at Delamere is a carefully paced, three-stage process. We’ve crafted these stages to nurture you physically and emotionally, giving you the tools to sustain your recovery.
Stage 1: Stop
The very first step at Delamere addresses the physical aspects of your recovery. It also offers a gentle introduction to therapy and addiction education. It’s about hitting the ‘pause’ button on your old habits, stabilising your condition, and getting you comfortable in our nurturing environment.
We understand the immense courage it takes to start this journey, so we greet our guests with open hearts, honouring your brave decision to seek help. For guests who require a clinical detox, our round-the-clock medical team will manage it smoothly.
As you start regaining your physical strength, we introduce light therapy and core assignments to prepare you for the upcoming stages.
The ‘Stop’ stage typically lasts about a week for sleeping pill addiction. During this phase, our compassionate nursing team and dedicated Recovery and Wellbeing teams will closely support you.
Stage 2: Start
You’ll then move to the ‘Start’ phase, which usually lasts two weeks. This phase delves into the psychological aspects of addiction, aiming to uncover the root cause behind your struggle with sleeping pills.
You’ll engage in a mix of workshops, interactive group sessions, one-on-one therapy, and somatic release work.
This stage is also about reflection and processing, making use of both traditional and innovative therapies like dynamic meditation, body scanning, forest bathing, breathwork, drama and ritual. Each activity is grounded in evidence-based practices, and everything we do is aimed at positive, lasting outcomes.
Stage 3: Grow
Once your time at Delamere concludes, you’re ready to embrace your new life. This phase is all about rebuilding your life and mending relationships, living fully without sleeping pills holding you back.
However, we understand the importance of continuous support from the team that has helped you kick your addiction. That’s why the ‘Grow’ stage focuses on safeguarding your progress by helping you maintain a strong connection with the individuals who’ve accompanied you on this journey.
Remember, even when you’re away from Delamere, we’re always here for you, cheering you on every step of the way.
What happens after rehab?
We’ll help you devise a detailed personalised plan that considers all your individual circumstances. This plan will be your guide when things seem a little unclear. And just because you’re leaving our facility doesn’t mean you’re leaving our care. We’re just a call away, and you’ll remain in regular contact with your Delamere care team.
Moreover, you’ll still have access to therapy sessions for up to a year after you leave.
