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.
