Addiction Recovery Support From The Experts
We provide expert-led home detox and recovery services for individuals battling addiction, as well as accredited training for addiction support professionals.
Who are Addictions UK?
We use medically qualified staff located throughout the UK who are supported by accredited counsellors
Addictions UK was established by a group of recovering addicts, alcoholics and carers in 2002. Our aim and purpose is to bring recovery to others, especially by means of home-based treatment.
All our programmes are abstinence-based. Most do not require residential rehabilitation and so allow clients to continue their usual activities while finding the route to normal living.
The range of our services is very wide and does include arrangements for Residential Rehab for clients to whom we recommend it. We also offer other opportunities for recovery and growth such as learning and spiritual journeys overseas.

We also offer training and employers’ support
We think better education around addiction and how to manage it is of the utmost importance.
We offer a suite of training courses over at Addictions Training which are intended for use by practitioners and carers in addiction therapy and mental health.
The training courses are affordable, flexible and accredited by the Open College Network to levels three and four.
They’re the perfect launchpad for a career in addiction and mental health, and many of the people we have helped overcome addiction have gone on to take our courses and transition into this career path.
We also offer employers’ support services to provide guidance to HR departments when dealing with employees with addiction issues.

The training explored the complex nature of addiction and its impact on individuals, families, and the professionals who support them. As addiction can often be a hidden factor within end-of-life care, it is important that counsellors feel confident in recognising the challenges it presents and are equipped to respond with knowledge, compassion, and understanding.
Throughout the day, we covered a wide range of topics including the disease concept of addiction, trauma, shame, denial, relapse prevention, recovery pathways, the role of mutual aid fellowships, the experiences of carers and families, and Twelve-Step Facilitation.
One of the most valuable aspects of the day was the opportunity to combine professional knowledge with lived experience. Drawing on our own journeys of recovery helped bring the subject matter to life, creating open and honest conversations about the realities of addiction, recovery, and long-term change.
💬 By sharing best practice, real-world experience, and evidence-based approaches, we hope to have enhanced the knowledge and confidence of the counsellors in attendance, enabling them to make informed decisions when supporting clients affected by addiction.
A huge thank you to everyone at St Barnabas Hospice for their warm welcome, engagement, and willingness to explore such an important topic. The quality of discussion throughout the day demonstrated a shared commitment to providing compassionate, person-centred support for those facing some of life’s most difficult challenges.
We look forward to continuing these conversations and working together to improve outcomes for those affected by addiction.
