Addiction Recovery Support From The Experts
We provide expert-led home detox and recovery services for individuals battling addiction, as well as accredited training for addiction support professionals.
Who are Addictions UK?
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.

News
to promote their November 2026 #SpiritualLearningJourney, with seven staff and volunteers from #AddictionsNorthEast, visited #DhammakayaMeditationCentre in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
We were fortunate to participate in a Meditation Session which was stunningly meaningful to our group participants.
This former Scottish Presbyterian place of worship is now a beautiful Buddhist Temple, serving the Newcastle community as a Meditation Centre.
For the last two decades AddictionsUK have been travelling to Hyderabad and Chennai developing partnership activities between local recovery groups, hosted by Rahul and Rajeshwari Luther of The Hope Trust.

This month, we’re taking a little time to remind ourselves just how important it is to look after our own wellbeing.
Self-care isn’t always about big changes. Sometimes it’s getting enough rest, taking a walk, having a proper meal, talking to someone, setting a boundary or simply giving yourself permission to slow down.
We can spend so much time caring for other people that we forget we need care too.
💙 This Self-Care Month, take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you really doing?
Remember, looking after yourself isn’t selfish — it’s part of looking after your health, your recovery and your future. 🌱

Addictions North East is a registered charity supporting individuals and families affected by addiction, mental health difficulties and other challenges.
Our aim is simple — to provide support, guidance and opportunities that can help people move towards positive change and recovery.
Our work includes supported housing, counselling, recovery coaching, outreach, family support, group work and other recovery-focused services across the North East.
We understand that asking for help can be a huge step.
That's why we're here to listen, support and help people find a way forward.

Addictions North East – About Us
#RecoveryMonth #WhoWeAre #AddictionsNorthEast #RecoveryIsPossible #AddictionSupport
For every day of September, we’ll be sharing a reminder about recovery, how we can support you and how recovery can become part of everyday life.
We’ll be showing you more about our services, our Recovery Centre, supported housing, Seaview Café, groups, activities, outings and the people who make our community what it is.
Some days will be about information.
Some will be about reflection.
Some will simply celebrate the everyday moments that make recovery worthwhile.
Follow us throughout September as we celebrate 30 days of recovery, hope, support and the belief that change is possible. 💙
#RecoveryMonth #AddictionsNorthEast #RecoveryJourney #RecoveryIsPossible
The truth is, you always have been.
Choosing recovery is choosing yourself. It’s believing that your life matters and that your future is worth fighting for.
Today, make yourself a priority.
#RecoveryJourney #SelfWorth #Healing #MentalHealthMatters #AddictionsNorthEast
Recovery can begin with one small decision — to ask for help, to speak honestly, to try again, or simply to believe that life can be different.
You don’t need to know exactly where the road will take you.
Sometimes you just need enough courage to take the first step.
At Addictions North East, we believe recovery is about more than moving away from addiction. It’s about rebuilding a life, rediscovering yourself and finding reasons to look forward.
This September, we’re celebrating recovery in all its forms.
