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.

🌿 A fantastic first day at the Murton Community Garden! 🌿

Today, some of our clients enjoyed their first volunteering session helping to restore the community garden in Murton, and what a great start it was!

Despite the warm weather, everyone got stuck in. Together we cut back overgrown grass, cleared rubbish, and removed weeds, making a real difference to the space. It was great to see everyone working as a team, supporting one another, and taking pride in giving something back to the local community.

This is just the beginning. We hope to take groups there regularly as we continue to help restore the garden while creating opportunities for people in recovery to build confidence, learn new skills, improve wellbeing, and connect with others.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part today, you should all be proud of what you achieved. We can’t wait to see how the garden develops over the coming weeks! 🌱💚

How many days sober are you today? 💚

Whether you’re celebrating Day 1, Day 100, or 10 years, every single sober day is an achievement worth recognising. 🌿

Recovery isn’t about comparing journeys—it’s about celebrating progress, no matter how big or small it may seem. Every day you choose recovery is another day you’re choosing yourself. 🤍

We’d love to celebrate with you! Share your sober time in the comments below and let’s encourage one another. 👇💚

Recovery isn’t about perfection.

It’s about choosing yourself every day, even when it’s difficult.

Every alcohol-free day is something to be proud of. 💙

This week is about raising awareness, reducing stigma, and reminding people that support is available for anyone affected by alcohol.

Whether you’re questioning your drinking, supporting a loved one, or already on your recovery journey, please know you’re not alone.

Every journey starts with one conversation, one decision, and one step forward. 💚
