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.

I'm incredibly grateful to say I've reached 8 months clean and sober.

Eight months ago I made a decision that has completely changed my life.

Recovery hasn't always been easy, but it's been worth every difficult day. It's given me clarity, purpose and opportunities I never thought I'd have. Today I have my own barber business, better health, stronger relationships and, most importantly, hope for the future.

I'm grateful to everyone who's supported me along the way—my family, friends, my sponsor, the people in recovery and everyone who's believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself.

Recovery has taught me that one day at a time really does work. I don't have all the answers, but I know that staying clean and sober has given me a life I don't want to lose.

If anyone reading this is struggling, just know that change is possible. Keep going, ask for help and never give up on yourself.

Here's to another 24 hours.

One day at a time. ❤️🙏

A huge thank you to Minerva Arts & Wellbeing!

This afternoon our service users enjoyed an energetic, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable session delivered by the fantastic team at Minerva Arts & Wellbeing.

From team activities and physical challenges to creative opportunities, the session brought people together, encouraged participation, and most importantly, showed that recovery can be fun. The room was full of energy, laughter and positive interaction, with everyone getting involved and supporting one another.

At Addictions North East, we know that recovery is about much more than abstinence – it's about reconnecting with others, building confidence, discovering new interests and creating positive experiences. Today's session ticked all of those boxes.

Thank you to Minerva Arts & Wellbeing for giving up their time and bringing such enthusiasm, creativity and positivity to our Recovery Centre. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Quiet growth is still growth. Recovery does not need to look perfect or inspirational every day to be real. 💚
