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
Recovery can create opportunities to make new memories.
A day out.
A new experience.
A meal with friends.
A laugh you didn’t expect.
A place you’ve never visited.
When addiction has taken up so much space in someone’s life, creating positive memories can be a powerful reminder of what recovery can make possible.
💙 There are memories ahead that haven’t been made yet.

Angela Johnson, Director of Care and Support at ANE with Kealan Cooper, Caseworker at AUK with his colleague James King, Managing Director of Addictions UK were able to share aspects of their diverse working methods dealing with complex needs being presented by their respective service users.
There was a clear consensus that sharing best practices and promoting joint working and partnerships was desirable especially within defined geographical areas and common social, economic and health needs.
EDVT, ANE and AUK all committed to continuing all efforts to work more closely together.
💙 What are you looking forward to?
Recovery isn’t only about where you are today — it’s also about building opportunities for tomorrow.
Our training courses can help people develop new skills, grow in confidence and explore opportunities that can support their personal development and future goals.
Learning something new can be a powerful part of recovery.
Whether it’s gaining knowledge, developing practical skills or discovering something you didn’t know you could do, every new skill is another step forward. 💙

Recovery is about people.
It's about having someone to talk to, somewhere to go, support when things become difficult and people who understand that recovery isn't always a straight line.
Our team brings together professional knowledge, practical support and, in many cases, lived experience of addiction.
From supported housing and counselling to outreach, DayHab, groups and recovery-focused activities, we work with people at different stages of their journey.
We're not here to judge where someone has been.
We're here to help people think about where they can go next.
💙 Because recovery is about more than overcoming addiction — it's about building a life worth moving towards.

Recovery gives people the opportunity to make new memories.
Days out.
Activities.
Trips.
Meals.
Friendships.
Laughter.
The moments that might seem ordinary can become incredibly important when someone has spent years feeling controlled by addiction.
💙 Your past may contain memories you’d rather forget, but your future can contain memories you haven’t made yet.
