What's involved in an alcohol or drug detox?

At the point where someone has become physically dependent on alcohol or drugs, a clinical detox is the safest and the most comfortable way to stop.

Here at Delamere, the UK’s first purpose-built addiction treatment clinic, we offer a medically managed detox for guests for whom alcohol, drugs or prescription drugs have become a problem.

Our approach to detox is a caring one which recognises the courage it takes to let go of alcohol or drugs.

At Delamere, detox is a distinctly different and separate phase to ‘rehab’. We start 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.

Our tailored programmes help participants to settle in and recover at their own pace, always with the support of our compassionate clinical team.
