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.

🌱 Mental health is a journey, not a destination. It’s about daily habits, self-awareness, and patience with yourself. There’s no finish line—only progress, growth, and learning along the way. Keep going, you’re not alone.

When Does a Behaviour Become an Addiction? 🤔

Addiction develops when a behaviour or substance becomes a dependence—used as a way to escape emotions, thoughts, or situations. This can include:

🔹 Drinking for confidence in social settings 🍷
🔹 Smoking to fit in 🚬
🔹 Using drugs to numb past pain 💊
🔹 Overeating to suppress emotions 🍔
🔹 Overworking to feel in control 💼

Both psychological and physical addictions can lead to withdrawal, making recovery challenging. In some cases, medical supervision is essential to ensure safety during withdrawal. If you’re struggling, support is available. 💙
