We provide expert-led home detox and recovery services for individuals battling addiction, as well as accredited training for addiction support professionals.
We use medically qualified staff located throughout the UK who are supported by accredited counsellors
Addictions UK was established by a group of recovering addicts, alcoholics and carers in 2002. Our aim and purpose is to bring recovery to others, especially by means of home-based treatment.
All our programmes are abstinence-based. Most do not require residential rehabilitation and so allow clients to continue their usual activities while finding the route to normal living.
The range of our services is very wide and does include arrangements for Residential Rehab for clients to whom we recommend it. We also offer other opportunities for recovery and growth such as learning and spiritual journeys overseas.

We also offer training and employers’ support
We think better education around addiction and how to manage it is of the utmost importance.
We offer a suite of training courses over at Addictions Training which are intended for use by practitioners and carers in addiction therapy and mental health.
The training courses are affordable, flexible and accredited by the Open College Network to levels three and four.
They’re the perfect launchpad for a career in addiction and mental health, and many of the people we have helped overcome addiction have gone on to take our courses and transition into this career path.
We also offer employers’ support services to provide guidance to HR departments when dealing with employees with addiction issues.

This is a bit of a different one to what we normally post.
This one is for Stephen ❤️
From that first message home — saying he’d been to the centre, sat through a 2-hour meeting, and taken a massive step — to picking up his very first chip… a moment filled with pride, emotion, and hope.
Stephen didn’t just stop there.
19 days clean turned into one week recognised.
One week turned into momentum.
And that momentum has carried him all the way to 194 days sober today.
Nearly 200 days of choosing a different path.
Nearly 200 days of showing up, even when it’s hard.
Nearly 200 days of strength, growth, and resilience.
Recovery isn’t easy. It takes courage to walk into that first meeting. It takes strength to keep going back. And it takes real determination to build a new life, one day at a time.
Stephen, we are incredibly proud of you. Your journey is powerful, and your story will inspire more people than you probably realise.
This is what recovery looks like. This is what hope looks like.
I came to Addictions North East broken and hopeless, I never thought someone like me would actually manage to live without drink or drugs it almost seemed impossible. I'd been trying to stop for over 15 years. From supported housing to rehabs to living in door ways, everything i tried never worked for long and I would always end up in a worse position than before. But here was different they gave me the support and guidance I needed, they gave me counselling and helped me overcome PTSD from the Army, they gave me a career and a home and now I have a life that's bigger and more beautiful than I have ever dreamed of! I'm so grateful to this place and i will be for the rest of my life"
"Nearly 18 months ago I walked through the doors of addictions north east i was beyond broken life was a mess but I knew I didnt want to live the way I was living since then I've been in and out of jobs trying to find my purpose in life and god is slowly but surely showing me it its been hard this past month or so wanting to leave not be in recovery anymore not to go out and use but to think i know better but then I remembered what about the people you help what about your family and those 2 things were big reasons to why I've stayed but the biggest reason if them all was seeing the newcomers walk through the doors broken wanting to get to meetings wanting this way of life and that really humbled me and because of them newcomers I've stayed dont get me wrong there was plenty of other reason but that was the main reason I'm still here today 🙏"
"9 months ago i walked through the doors of ANE a broken women. I was welcomed by a family of people who just got me. I had lost pretty much everything at that point and was a shell of my former self.
With the help of the amazing staff and my 12 step programme i have became the friend, mother and daughter people deserved and i am so happy with my growth as a person.
I now have a beautiful home thanks to ANE and am enjoying my life clean. If you are struggling these guys can help.
My name is Loz and I am 9 months clean and sober 🫶
