How To Stop Drinking

Alcoholics cannot accurately predict what is going to happen when they put alcohol into their system.

Functioning alcoholics

Alcoholism is a powerful, cunning, and baffling disease. Despite a dependency on alcohol, many alcoholics remain functional in their personal life and at work.

Primary Treatment

Clients remain at home and the specialist therapist will travel to your chosen choice of treatment venue. During your treatment you will begin to work through a personalised tailor-made therapy programme designed to create long-lasting life changes.

Alcohol Relapse Prevention

Working with your specialist therapist, you will build a plan for long-term recovery that includes continuing therapy, contingency planning, relapse prevention, lifestyle considerations and family and social support if required.

Alcohol Addiction Assessments

Highly qualified specialist therapist
