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.

3rd March 2026, Steven's story 🀍

"Well im very proud to say i am 32 days clean from all mind altering substances! So i collected my keyring yesterday from my fellowship which is Narcotics Anonymous which goes in very deep and thorough with my 12 step program teaching me that as an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live,i was spending god knows how much a month on my substance and missing out the good life i should have been spending with my children and partner. The best thing i did was tell my mam and dad aswell as my partner that i needed help with addiction and its actually brought us alot closer and i know for alot of people 30 days is not record shattering but onwards and upwards for another 30. #JUSTFORTODAY"

Not every sign of progress is visible. Sometimes healing is simply creating moments of peace where survival mode used to live. 🌿

🧠 Mental Health Awareness Month πŸ’š

Addiction and mental health are closely connected. Recovery isn’t just about stopping β€” it’s about understanding emotions, building safer coping strategies, and feeling supported.

Looking after your mental health is part of recovery, not separate from it. 🌱
