What is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol addiction rarely begins overnight. There often comes a point when alcohol stops feeling like something you enjoy and starts to feel like something you need.

You may find yourself drinking more than you planned, spending increasing amounts of time thinking about alcohol, or trying to hide the extent of the problem from people around you.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or someone you love, help is available.

At Delamere, we provide evidence-led alcohol addiction treatment in a calm, purpose-built environment, designed specifically for recovery.

What is the Delamere Approach to Alcohol Rehab Treatment?

We have treated over *961 guests for alcohol addiction. Find out more about our outcomes today.

At Delamere, we understand that finding the right alcohol rehab treatment for yourself or a loved one can feel overwhelming.

Many traditional rehab options can feel clinical, offering a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we pride ourselves on providing The Delamere Difference. Working with you to identify the root causes of alcohol addiction is at the heart of our treatment model.

We provide tailored, therapeutic alcohol rehab treatment including group therapy, one-to-one counselling and mentoring, and unique experiential sessions.

Our 4 and 6-week alcohol rehabilitation programmes are all delivered at our purpose-built private addiction treatment clinic. This offers you a calm and relaxed environment to complete your rehab treatment with en-suite rooms and comfortable communal spaces, all in a peaceful forest setting.

Our support doesn’t simply end when your stay with us is complete. We provide extended aftercare services, family support, and alumni connections to support our guests in their long-term recovery.

Why is alcohol rehab important?

Alcohol rehab provides you with the chance to address the underlying causes of your addiction and take steps to overcome it. Our programmes work by allowing you to press the pause button and focus, without distraction, on getting well.

Delamere is the perfect environment to achieve a safe, assisted detox and alcohol rehab programme. Our group activities allow you to meet others and take away any shame surrounding your addiction.

This fosters a supportive community of Delamere guests who can open up to each other about shared experiences and help each other to grow from addictions together.

Alcohol rehab at Delamere aims to help you restore your mental, physical, and emotional health by getting to the root cause of the problem and helping to establish healthy boundaries. You will be equipped with the strategies you need to rebuild relationships and social connections and find new meaning in life.

What Happens During Alcohol Rehab with Delamere?

At Delamere, we provide a unique, holistic alcohol addiction treatment model to help you grow beyond addiction.

The Delamere Difference addiction treatment model has been developed to offer support which runs far deeper than simply stopping the addictive substance or behaviour.

Our team works with you to identify the root cause of addiction, rather than simply treating the symptoms of addiction.

When you stay with us, you can benefit from up to 5 phases, including:
Delamere Treatment Model - Stop Icon

This phase addresses any physical aspects of your alcohol addiction. Our medical team is on hand 24/7 to ensure a safe and effective withdrawal.

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

We believe that successful alcohol rehab treatment runs far deeper than simply stopping. Everything we offer at Delamere aims at offering effective and lasting
outcomes in addiction treatment.

Our Delamere Difference treatment model offers up to 5 phases, which work to identify the root cause of addiction and provide you with the tools you need to move forward.

  • Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
  • Conscious & Connected Breathwork
  • Yoga
  • Creative Expressio
  • Sound Meditation

Introducing Our Optional 2-Week Alcohol Rehab Extension

When you stay with Delamere, you can benefit from a two-week extension to our core 28-day programme, known as Root.

During these extra two weeks, we use Delamere’s sector-leading neuroscience-based assessment tool to understand how your emotional and stress systems are working.

Your two-week extension is scientifically designed to identify the root causes of addiction. This includes combining comprehensive assessments, experiential therapies, and responsibly structured off-site days.

This process takes the guesswork out of addiction treatment, allowing our expert team to match your care precisely to what your nervous system actually needs.

Alcohol Rehab Aftercare Services with Delamere

Once you graduate and return home, our care doesn’t simply end. We provide 15 months of ongoing aftercare to help you navigate life after alcohol addiction treatment.

Our aftercare services begin with 12 weekly meetings in small groups to support you through the first 3 months of recovery after you return home. The bespoke syllabus is designed to help you transition back into everyday life after completing alcohol rehab treatment.

You’ll also be provided access to the Delamere app, which allows you to keep up to date with your aftercare programme and celebrate milestones. You can also access specialist information to support you in recovery and reach out directly to our team should you need to.
