We’re delighted to introduce Chris Lomas, Delamere’s Head of Therapy and Programme. Chris oversees the development, evolution, and delivery of The Delamere programme to ensure the highest standards of safety, quality, and outcomes for guests. In today’s Q&A we speak with Chris about his background in therapy and his remit here at Delamere.
Last month (Wednesday 18th December), I was invited to ITV Studios in MediaCity to speak about the concerning rise in ketamine addiction, particularly among young people in Manchester, for ITV Granada Reports’ fourth and final item on this growing issue.
We’d been open at Delamere a few years when a colleague of mine first suggested we welcome previous guests back for an Alumni event.
Delamere has launched a brand-new 12-week ‘intermediate’ care programme for its guests. Labelled ‘Bloom’, it is the fourth component of The Delamere Treatment Model – following Stop, Start, Grow.
As the only purpose-built rehabilitation clinic in the UK, Delamere not only looks different to the stereotypical view of ‘rehab’ but we go about things differently too.
Earlier this month, we welcomed former guests back to Delamere for our first ever reunion. Re-connecting with guests who came through Delamere, and hearing how their lives have changed since, was very special indeed.
We go through our highlights of 2022 and a potentially new treatment at Delamere in the future; IHHT (Intermittent Hypoxic Hyperoxia Training).
Whether it’s your childhood home, a high-pressured workspace or stressful social situations and events, different environments can be a trigger for any type of addiction. Research shows both your work/school situation, family, peers and the community can all influence your behaviour.
