Treating alcohol addiction
Detoxification is the first step in treatment if you are physically dependent on alcohol (withdrawal symptoms will occur when drinking stops).
Detoxification can be provided within our setting, or at home. The place of treatment would be discussed on assessment.
Detoxification is supervised by trained medical specialists and usually takes about 7 to 10 days. It involves replacing alcohol with other drugs and reducing the dose of these over the treatment period.
Aftercare
The Causeway Retreat offers 12 months post detox addiction aftercare support and advice.
