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.

It was great to see some of our clients representing Addictions North East at the East Durham Veterans Trust Summer Ball.
Events like these highlight the importance of partnership working, bringing organisations together to support individuals, strengthen communities, and create new opportunities.
A huge thank you to East Durham Veterans Trust for the invitation and for the incredible work you do. We look forward to continuing to work together and making a positive difference through our partnership.
"Today marks 3 years since i escaped the handcuffs of alcohol and surrendered to a 12 step program. Couldnât have done it without Addictions North East who gave me a chance to change and my wonderful sponsor Em Ward for showing me the way. My journey hasnât been easy but itâs so worthwhile as Iâm living my life again with my family having peace of mind. Iâve met some amazing people along the way and have the pleasure of helping others. If anyone is struggling please ask for help as itâs the best thing I ever did"
Stigma keeps people silent. It stops people asking for help, sharing how they feel, and accessing the support they deserve.
Addiction and mental health challenges can affect anyone. They are not a sign of weakness, failure, or a lack of willpowerâthey are health issues that deserve compassion, understanding, and support.
Together, we can replace judgement with kindness, shame with hope, and silence with conversation.
Letâs break the stigma, one conversation at a time. đ
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and experiences the world. It is not a choice, a personality flaw, or something to be feared.
Today is about raising awareness, challenging misconceptions, and standing alongside those living with schizophrenia and their families.
Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. By listening without judgement and replacing stigma with understanding, we can help create a community where people feel safe to seek support.
Together, letâs continue breaking down barriers and reminding people that mental health matters.
