Introduction

This clinic is located approximately one hour from Ipswich and 30 minutes from Norwich. There is also a direct train from London Liverpool Street. The clinic provides detoxification along with primary treatment programmes in a supportive, caring environment. Groups are held in our state-of-the art treatment facility and the residential accommodation is at the newly renovated ‘Albany’ which is just a two minute walk from the Award winning beach.

The Albany is fully staffed, providing 24 hour cover for everyone that chooses to stay with us. Using the 12 step recovery programme combined with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), the clinic can offer a number of programmes of differing duration that enable our clients to receive treatment for addictions that is both effective and longlasting.

Each client will benefit from an assigned counsellor and keyworker throughout their stay, as well as complementary therapies such as auricular acupuncture.

What makes this residential addiction hospital special?

The 12 Step programme has been getting by far the greatest results in long term recovery than any other addiction treatment program in the world since 1937. You will meet a host of new people and friends, who understand and share in your struggle with addiction. You will meet people from 1 day to 40 years clean and sober to help guide you through every step of the way. There are presently over 8000 meetings a week in England Scotland and Wales, to help and support you free of charge when you return home after treatment.

We also combine CBT in our programme. The clinic uses ADAPTS© cognitive behaviour therapy programme linked to the highly effective ThinkingCap© relapse prevention programme to ensure that all of our clients both start their recovery using a highly effective treatment programme and, as importantly, leave us with the necessary tools to maintain that recovery.

Facilities at the rehab center

The clinic uses a holistic approach to the treatment of each individual’s addiction building an individual care plan that addresses the needs of the whole person.

As part of the treatment programme, each client will gain the necessary knowledge to face the cause or causes of their addiction and the necessary skills with which to overcome the addiction and ensure that they do not relapse. The modular ADAPTS cognitive behaviour therapy programme gives clients the strength and skills to overcome their addiction and be strong enough to maintain this position after they leave treatment.

• Causes of addiction
