Alcohol Help

Inverurie: The Alexander Clinic
Specialised treatment programme for those who suffer from alcohol, drug and gambling dependence.

About us:

The treatment philosophy recognises that addiction is an illness that is progressive, which can be arrested, and is susceptible to relapse if not properly treated and supportively maintained.

The six week programme is currently accessed by day patient attendance with on-site accommodation available if required.

The foundation laid in treatment is built upon through attendance at free weekly aftercare and support meetings, for a recommended minimum period of two years subsequent to discharge.

Rehabilitation is a process of rebuilding in conjunction with the process of change.

Patients learn to:

Accept that they have a problem outside of their own control and its negative implications in their life.

Admit that they need help to resolve their problem, having failed to help themselves. Then to identify the sources from which help is available.
Make a committment to use these resources in order to remain abstinent and develop a better life.

Acknowledge and accept that the primary problem lies within themselves and, through developing self awareness, identify the changes in belief, attitude and values that are necessary to avoid relapse and enjoy recovery.
