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.

๐Ÿ’™ Celebrating Recovery Month

When addiction has taken over parts of your life, it can sometimes be difficult to imagine what comes next.

Recovery can be about rebuilding things that may have been lost along the way.

Your relationships.

Your confidence.

Your routine.

Your health.

Your hopes for the future.

It doesnโ€™t all have to happen at once.

One small change can become another, and eventually those small changes can create something much bigger.

๐Ÿ’™ Your life is worth the effort it takes to rebuild it.

AddictionsUK, as part of their induction training preparations
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.

๐ŸŒฑ September is Self-Care Month

This month, weโ€™re taking a little time to remind ourselves just how important it is to look after our own wellbeing.

Self-care isnโ€™t always about big changes. Sometimes itโ€™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.

๐Ÿ’™ This Self-Care Month, take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you really doing?

Remember, looking after yourself isnโ€™t selfish โ€” itโ€™s part of looking after your health, your recovery and your future. ๐ŸŒฑ
