Coming to Terms With an Alcohol Problem
If you’re reading this it’s likely that you’re concerned about alcohol consumption. You may be feeling as though there’s no way out of the vicious cycle of drinking every day. We’re here to tell you that real change is possible. With the right support and guidance from our team of professionals, recovering from alcoholism is possible for everyone, no matter how dire your current situation may seem right now.
Perhaps you are still coming to terms with the destructive pattern of alcohol abuse, it can sometimes take a while to recognise an alcohol problem and admit to yourself that you need help, despite others showing concerns about how much time you’re spending preoccupied with drink.
- Alcohol abuse has been linked to serious physical health problems including liver disease and cancer, rehab treatment can help prevent further damage to yourself or a loved one.
- Most experts agree that abstinence is the only path to recovery.
- Denial is often the first barrier to seeking help. According to alcoholchange.org.uk, there are over 600,000 people who meet the criteria for alcoholism. Sadly, only 18% seek treatment.
- You do not have to wait for your situation to get worse before you seek help. It can be easier to overcome alcohol dependence in the early stages of a problem, both physically and psychologically.

As part of your alcohol addiction treatment, our medical team will conduct an assessment to better understand your health, and may provide you with an detox plan to comfort you during the withdrawal phase of treatment. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can very in length and difficulty depending on the individual
Once our team are happy with your progress, you will begin the primary treatment programme which consists of evidence-based therapies, holistic therapies, and character building exercises. Our treatment model incorporates the latest, evidence-based therapies, such as group therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention strategies.
You’re in safe hands with us, and our goal is to help nurture you in a safe environment by providing you with the support needed to sustain long-term abstinence from drink. Rehab for alcohol is only the beginning of your recovery journey, and to help support you and your loved ones during and after rehab, we offer family support & aftercare as part of our treatment offering.
In a Safe & Supportive Environment
While there are many alcohol treatment options in the UK – such as detox facilities, community support, 12-step fellowship meetings and home detox services, private residential treatment will always offer the most comprehensive and structured form of care, especially to monitor and help with any withdrawal symptoms.
And for those with a long history of alcohol abuse, there are a number of complications and challenges that may arise from attempting to quit alcohol without professional help.
- Detoxing from alcohol without the support of a healthcare professional can be dangerous, resulting in severe withdrawal symptoms such as delirium tremens
- Simply quitting alcohol will not treat the root causes of addiction, intensive therapy is the key to overcoming the psychological nature of dependence
- Alcohol is easily accessible from the home environment
- It can take a while to adapt to life without drink, especially when life is hectic or stressful
immediate access to lifesaving alcohol treatment.
The secondary programme at The Providence Projects is a great way to solidify the progress you have made during the primary treatment phase. This is optional and will be offered to you before and during your addiction treatment.
Statistics showhat clients who attend extended programmes are less likely to relapse in the future, and so secondary care is designed to offer additional protection in the early stages of recovery.
Overcoming your addiction to alcohol requires more than just stopping, ‘staying quit’ requires a number of lifestyle changes and commitments. The main goals of treatment include:
- Helping you understand that problematic drinking is an illness that requires maintenance like any other condition
- Identifying the root causes of alcoholism which may include trauma, abuse or co-occuring mental health disorders.
- Learning the triggers or stressors that lead to binge drinking episodes
- Empowering you to love yourself and take responsibility for your drink issues
- Improving mental health and physical wellbeing
- Seeing the value in human connection by sharing difficult feelings
- Having fun, because life is more enjoyable without drink or drugs

Alcoholism is a family illness. The ripple effects of this disease means it can often be more detrimental to family members than to the alcoholic themselves. As part of our comprehensive alcohol rehab programme, we place great emphasis on including the family in their loved one’s treatment, as research has shown that support and involvement from family members can make all the difference to a person’s recovery.

Topics such as setting boundaries and roles within the family are all covered as part of these meetings. We aim to make our services accessible to everyone, regardless of geography. That’s why our focus is to provide online and skype counselling.
What happens when clients complete rehab for alcohol is just as important as the progress they make whilst they’re with us. As such, we offer a range of aftercare & relapse prevention programmes here at The Providence Projects. As clients come towards the end of their alcohol treatment, the team will look to develop an individualised aftercare and relapse prevention plan. This will vary considerably depending on the nature of alcohol consumption, career, mental health and relationship status, family set up, and safety of living accommodation.
All these factors and more will be taken into account before agreeing an appropriate course of aftercare.
In conjuction with aftercare, our team will recommend that you attend AA meetings in your local area, or continue with outpatient therapy as part of our sober recovery services.
Finding the best alcohol treatment is vital for long-term recovery success. Our friendly and compassionate team will hold your hand through the process until you learn to love yourself again.

Contrary to popular belief, the NHS does not provide residential treatment for alcoholism. However, the NHS does provide free outpatient addiction treatment services.
However, it is possible to get local authority funding. This involves engaging with your local drug and alcohol service and making an application for detox and rehab funding.
This may secure you a place at a private rehab for alcohol detox and treatment, but the process is often lengthy and by no means a guarantee.
For more information around alcohol funding or free addiction services, please click on one of the below links.
The minimum duration is 28 days which includes detox. Studies show that longer-term treatment can lead to higher success rates, so we recommend that you stay for as long as you can to benefit from treatment

Alcohol rehab treatment is self-funded by the individual on the day of admission. We charge a fixed cost for 28-days, with the option to extend care for a fixed weekly cost. To learn more about our costs and payment options, visit our cost page.
