Need help in battling alcohol addiction?

Gladstones Clinic has a proven track record and more than 20 years’ experience in helping people recover from alcohol addiction.

What is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol abuse, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a medical condition characterised by unhealthy drinking patterns as a result of the inability to control or cease consumption despite being aware of its negative impact on your health and life. Over time, alcohol abuse and addiction can cause lasting damage to your health, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Why Alcohol Rehab is Important

Trying to stop drinking suddenly without professional support can be dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and the psychological triggers behind addiction may go unaddressed if you don’t opt for structured treatment.

Although alcohol rehab is not a guaranteed cure, it will help you get sober and understand the underlying factors of your addiction. Rehab can equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to overcome your addiction in the long term.

At Gladstones Clinic, we combine clinical detox with therapeutic support to treat the root causes of alcohol dependency. If you’re ready to beat your addiction, we can give you the support, tools and resources you need to do so.

Signs It's Time to Seek Help

You drink alone to relax or as a way to get some sleep
Your mind is consistently preoccupied with alcohol or drinking
You need to drink more to achieve the same effect each time you drink
Feelings of guilt about your drinking or lying and hiding your drinking habits
Intense cravings for alcohol that affect your mood, concentration, and ability to meet responsibilities

What Happens During Alcohol Rehab?

Gladstones Clinic alcohol addiction rehab therapy follows a time-tested approach aimed at breaking the body’s physical addiction to ethanol (alcohol) and addressing the underlying roots of addiction.

This approach has enabled us to help thousands of people permanently break the bonds of alcohol addiction and improve their quality of life.

1. Addiction Assessment & Consultation

Your personalised journey begins with a full assessment by our addiction specialists. We evaluate your physical and mental health, identify co-occurring conditions, and create a tailored treatment plan.

This also allows us to identify any potential risks during detox and develop a personalised action plan based on your needs. This is also an opportunity for you to discuss any questions or concerns directly with your therapeutic team.

2. Alcohol Detoxification (Detox)

Alcohol detox is the process of eliminating all traces of alcohol and its harmful by-products from the system over a period of 7 to 10 days and is typically the first step in alcohol addiction treatment. Detox can be challenging, both physically and emotionally – and in some cases, withdrawal symptoms can become life-threatening. That’s why a medically supervised detox is so important.

During detox, our team of addiction specialists will closely monitor your health, administering medication if necessary to ease withdrawal symptoms and discomfort.

3. Primary Care

Primary care, the core of our intensive treatment programmes, encompasses all the treatments and therapies you will receive that are aimed directly at understanding your addiction and developing strategies for identifying and dealing with triggers and cravings.

Our 28-day residential rehab programme offers:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Group therapy & peer support
Holistic therapies (yoga, mindfulness, art)
Family therapy where needed

4. Secondary Care, Tertiary Care, and Aftercare

After completing the 28-day primary care programme, you will be eligible to enter into our secondary and tertiary care programmes. These continue to provide access to Gladstones resources and therapy while living off-site and transitioning back into normal life.

Our aftercare programme is open to all previous Gladstones patients for life, with both in-person and online therapy sessions hosted on a regular basis.

How Can I Help a Loved One Who is Addicted to Alcohol?

Watching someone you care about struggle with alcohol addiction can be heartbreaking. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to say, or afraid of making things worse. However, your support could be the turning point they need.

If you’re concerned about a loved one’s drinking, approaching them with empathy and concern can make a real difference. Avoid losing your temper or expressing judgment. Instead, offer a safe environment to discuss the issue at hand.

At Gladstones Clinic, we are here to help. We offer guidance, family therapy, and even intervention support to help families take that first step together.

Our professional intervention services can help loved ones who are resistant to seeking treatment. With expert planning and compassionate delivery, our team can help guide your loved one into recovery.
