Our approach to addiction treatment
Our expert doctor and clinical nursing team will provide the best of personal medical attention and health education during the client’s withdrawal from drugs and or/alcohol, to control their symptoms and maximise their physical well being. Our therapists will provide regular mental state assessments and a programme of therapy, which will include a range of group and individual therapies will be developed around the client’s requirements.
We also give careful attention to good nutrition, sleep, hygiene, stress and anxiety management. This excellent medical care, under the supervision of leading addiction specialist and consultant psychiatrist Dr Mike McPhillips, is complemented by the unique therapeutic benefits of a stay at The Causeway Retreat, where the tranquil island location, with its excellent range of indoor and outdoor leisure activities provides a relaxing environment in which to rehabilitate from drug or alcohol dependency
After an initial residential treatment at The Causeway Retreat, we provide 12 months of free aftercare post discharge from the island to support clients during their return to normal life and to minimise the risk of a return to drug and alcohol abuse.
