Struggling with drug or alcohol addiction can feel overwhelming, both for the person affected and for those who love them. The good news is that recovery is possible, and the right addiction treatments can make all the difference.

At Cassiobury Court, we offer a range of addiction treatments tailored to your individual needs, combining medical expertise, therapy and ongoing support to help you start recovery.

Recognising the Need for Addiction Treatment

Before recovery can begin properly, the person who is suffering from addiction has to admit that they need help.

A family intervention can be an effective way to help the individual to realise that their life needs to change. Not only does a family intervention highlight the urgency for addiction treatments, but it also helps the addict to realise that it’s not just themselves that they’re impacting with this behaviour.

Their addiction is affecting everyone around them, particularly the people they care about most.

Often this realisation of how much they’re hurting their loved ones can be the encouragement they need to seek professional support. Visit our interventions page for more information.

Rehabilitation is not a single method of treatment for addiction, but a combination of methods that are combined in a safe and effective programme to maximise the chances of success.

Whilst rehab is the most effective way of treating drug and alcohol addiction, it may not be for everyone and you may decide that alternative treatment is preferable. Remember, there is no magic formula to get clean, rehabilitation is a long and difficult process.

Detoxing from drugs and alcohol can be dangerous, and it is vital that you consult your doctor before proceeding with any programme. Drug and alcohol detoxification is the process of managing the withdrawal symptoms of your addiction.

For it to be effective, it must be done in a safe, controlled environment such as a professional rehabilitation centre. It’s essential that a detox is done this way, particularly in the presence of a team of medical experts who can help to manage the discomfort that comes with withdrawal symptoms.

Whilst withdrawal symptoms are very common, they can be quite dangerous when not managed correctly. Symptoms could include mild nausea, headaches, dizziness, or more severe symptoms such as seizures, insomnia, and delirium tremens (also known as the DT’s) which require immediate medical attention.

That is why we recommend medically managed detox in a safe setting, where you can be supervised and made as comfortable as possible.

Addiction Treatment Options

Here at Cassiobury Court, we take the time to listen to each person who walks through our open doors. Our fantastic multidisciplinary team will get to know you and understand the nature of your addiction which allows them to create the most effective treatment programme for your specific needs.

This has long proven to be the most successful way of treating people with a drug or alcohol addiction. Whilst we personalise each programme, there are some techniques which we regularly recommend as they have such great success rates. Let’s explore some of the different addiction treatment options that are available at our private rehab.

Therapy and Counselling

Therapy is used to get the client to think about ways to change their lives and how to deal with obstacles that can help prevent recovery. These can be one-to-one, group sessions with other addicts or sessions with family members.

Not only can this get the root of the issues that lead to addiction, but it is also a fantastic way to get advice on relapse prevention and being able to cope with life beyond addiction once you leave our residential addiction treatment programme.

Understanding what may have caused your addiction in the first place is an incredibly useful piece of information to have. By being able to identify the underlying reasons behind your behaviour, you’ll be able to recognise your triggers, thus learn how to manage them correctly and help to prevent any potential relapses.

There isn’t just one reason why someone may have become addicted to alcohol or drugs, it’s likely to be a number of reasons. Some common causes we see are when you grow up in an environment where substance use is the norm, which might have encouraged you to participate in drug or alcohol use yourself.

You could have turned to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with mental health problems or a traumatic event. Whatever the reason, we’ll be able to help you overcome and manage it.

Had the most amazing experience at Cassiobury Court, guided me through my issues and left me full of knowledge, positivity and hope. The amazing staff are always smiling, always offering sound advice when needed, and always there if you just need a chat, they treat you as their peers and make you feel instantly relaxed. Couldn't recommend the place more - go in with an open mind, be honest about everything and be willing to recover! (P.s. also great food ?)

I have had serious addiction problems for the last 10 years that have ruined my life and the life of my loved ones. I am in my early 30’s and this was my third time in rehab but my first time staying at Cassiobury Court. The difference between Cassiobury and other facilities is incredible and you can’t compare with the level of support and love. The staff are kind, caring and know exactly what you are going through and what you need to do in order to get better. They have multiple different ways and techniques to support you and go above and beyond in every possible way to help you. Not only do they support you while you’re there but they also support you for the first year you leave with weekly catch up sessions. I have left Cassiobury with a huge network of people in recovery. Before I was lost and alone. I can’t thank Cassiobury enough for giving me another chance at life and I’ll be forever truly grateful ❤️❤️❤️

I needed to be separated from alcohol and initially booked in for a two week alcohol detox. A couple of days in however i knew i was in a good 12 step based rehab. I decided then another 2 weeks was necessary to get a good solid start for my recovery journey. I have experience of a 12 step program, it had worked for me for some years prior. Cassiobury Ct had a good, varied program. I learnt so much more about myself and addiction. The staff were all compassionate and knowledgeable. Many had been where i was. I felt safe in CC. I was fortunate to be surrounded by very supportive peers, we cried together and we laughed together. I walked in feeling such a failure , since leaving i have held my head high. Thank you for the love CC when I struggled to love myself. Cathy R

Well well well… what an experience I have had during my time in Cassiobury Court. 6 months I have spent in the building. I came in as a broken girl not knowing where to turn, I’m leaving here a positive woman, with a totally different outlook on life, I haven’t learnt so much about myself and also about the mind uttering substances that change your life for the worst. The staff is Cassiobury Court are indescribable, they showed me love when I didn’t love myself, they believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and most of all they helped shape me into the girl I am today. The house keeping was on point as was the maintenance and also the food. I cannot recommend this place enough. This building and the staff have that much of a special place e in my heart I even had a tattoo done. I’m so grateful for you all and will forever appreciate you❤️

A superb venue for anyone who would like to begin the real journey of recovery from addiction. Every single member of staff cares and they cannot do enough with an always cheerful approach and outlook. This was my third visit to different Rehabs and this one has made by far the most difference. The therapy is second to none and the food is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Support Meetings

Support meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, are a great way to help prevent relapse after you are clean of substances. These allow you to share your experiences and hear from those who have been through similar problems.

Support meetings can really boost your motivation and well as being a great source of useful information and education materials.
For more information, click here to visit our support meetings page.

Support from Friends and Family

Addiction recovery is not an easy process and the more support you get from loved ones, the higher your chances of success are. If someone close to you needs help with addiction, your support can be the first step towards recovery via an intervention.

Family support throughout the rehabilitation process can help boost the chances of success by offering positive and constructive advice.

Medication

Medications can be used to help with different aspects of recovery, including detox and preventing relapse. Detox medications are used to help to manage the withdrawal symptoms that occur when removing the substances from the body.

This step is only the beginning of recovery, and detox should not be seen as the only part of recovering from addiction. Other medications help to re-establish normal brain functions and prevent relapse. A well-known example is methadone, which helps heroin addicts to wean themselves off opioids.

Psychological and Well-Being Therapies

Every personalised residential addiction treatment programme will include a well-balanced mix of psychological and well-being therapies. This carefully selected combination is a great contributor to achieving a long-term recovery from addiction, as this approach covers so many aspects to help you give up alcohol or drugs for good.

In addition to counselling, some of the other psychological therapies which we offer include:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Enhancement
Relapse Prevention
Coping Skills Development
Meaningful Daily Activities
Psychoeducation
Recovery Planning
Legal and Discharge Planning

Alongside these, we offer therapies which focus on improving your well-being which is a huge contributing factor to your recovery. These include mindfulness, yoga, relaxation and sleep management, nutritional supplement therapy, fitness therapy, and art therapy.
