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.

💙 National Schizophrenia Awareness Day 💙

Understanding begins with kindness.

Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and experiences the world. It is not a choice, a personality flaw, or something to be feared.

Today is about raising awareness, challenging misconceptions, and standing alongside those living with schizophrenia and their families.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. By listening without judgement and replacing stigma with understanding, we can help create a community where people feel safe to seek support.

Together, let’s continue breaking down barriers and reminding people that mental health matters.

Today is your reminder to slow down.

Drink some water. Get some fresh air. Reach out to someone you trust. Rest without guilt.

Small acts of self-care can make a big difference. 💚

Looking after yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Taking time to rest, set boundaries, ask for help, or simply breathe is part of protecting your wellbeing. You deserve the same care you give to everyone else. 🌿

💚 Samaritans Awareness Day (24/7) 💚

Today is a reminder that someone is always there to listen.

Whether you’re struggling with your mental health, addiction, loneliness, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone.

Talking doesn’t make your problems bigger—it can make them easier to carry.

Please reach out if you need support. 🤍

🌿🧘 An afternoon of meditation in nature at Castle Eden Nature Reserve. 👍🙏

Taking time to slow down, breathe, and connect with nature can have a powerful impact on our wellbeing. Our visit to Castle Eden Nature Reserve gave everyone the opportunity to switch off from the stresses of everyday life, practise mindfulness, and enjoy the peace and beauty of the outdoors.

Recovery isn’t just about overcoming challenges—it’s also about finding healthy ways to look after your mind, body, and spirit.

A wonderful afternoon shared together. 💙
