“My own journey through addiction was the inspiration for Delamere. We provide exemplary care in first-class facilities, focusing on creating lasting outcomes for our guests and their families. Helping them not just overcome their addiction, but grow beyond it.”
Ketamine Detox
Ketamine addiction can be a life-threatening illness, the longer it is left untreated, the more serious it will become. At Delamere, we understand from experience how overwhelming ketamine detox can feel, which is why we provide our guests with a full medical detox.
A tailored ketamine detox from the medical team at Delamere
Our discreet, private rehab in rural Cheshire is the ideal place to get away from any triggers and focus completely on getting well. A safe ketamine detox is the first step to living a life free from drugs. We know all too well the fear of detoxing from a drug addiction, which is why, at Delamere, we approach ketamine detox from a place of compassion and understanding.
Unlike many other ketamine rehab centres, at Delamere, we provide our guests with a completely tailored and 24-hour assisted detox from ketamine. When the body has become dependent on ketamine, our medical experts will administer approved medications to ease the process and lessen any ketamine withdrawal symptoms.

The benefits of an inpatient ketamine rehab such as Delamere
Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or a loved one, Delamere guests and their families often take great comfort in the knowledge that we provide an assisted ketamine detox under the supervision of 24-hour on-site nurses. This allows us the flexibility to tailor medications as and when necessary to make, what is often an uncomfortable experience, as comfortable as possible. Detoxing at home can be possible, however, a ketamine detox is much safer under the supervision of medical professionals in an inpatient facility.
In severe cases, choosing to go ‘cold turkey’ can result in severe medical issues and even fatalities. An unassisted ketamine detox will likely be an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous process, which is why we urge anyone struggling with a ketamine addiction to seek help from a rehab facility like Delamere.
What to expect from a ketamine detox at Delamere
The initial phase of our ketamine detox programme ‘Stop’ starts with some light therapeutic work while you undergo detox which helps you settle in and connect. This introductory work is carried out in interactive groups during which we get to know you and what’s brought you into treatment.
What you can expect from our ‘Stop’ programme is:
- A full medical detox for any alcohol or substance dependence
- A health screening from our specialist substance misuse Doctor
- 24-hour access to our fully qualified nursing team
- Medication (if required) to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms
- Plenty of rest, recuperation, and nourishment
- Your own private room with en-suite facilities
- To socialise in client lounges with fellow guests
- A deliberately light introduction to therapy
- To start feeling better, quicker than you might expect
- Access to our gym, gardens, and forest surroundings when physically fit
‘Stop’ lays the foundations for the following stages of our rehab programme. Once you have completed your detox, staying stopped and future-proofing your abstinence is the next step.
Everything we offer at Delamere aims at effective and lasting outcomes in addiction treatment:
How to encourage a loved one to go to rehab
If you are looking to help a family member, work colleague, or loved one, admit themselves to an addiction rehabilitation centre, 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 alcohol rehab
These are just some of the commonly reported ketamine withdrawal symptoms; many of which are psychological in nature, but there are physical effects noted too:
- Agitation
- Confusion
- Psychosis (including delusion and hallucination)
- Loss of motor skills
- Decrease in respiratory and cardiac functions
Typically, the body should have withdrawn from its physical addiction to ketamine after roughly 7 days, after which the psychological effects can be addressed. However, the length of time it takes to detox from ketamine depends on a number of factors including the time it has been used and how much the body has become accustomed to.
