Alcohol Help

The PROMIS Rehabilitation Clinic, Nonington
PROMIS offers extensive experience in treating addictive and compulsive behaviours including alcohol

About us:

Alcoholism Treatment: Alcoholism is an addiction which grows slowly, working to defeat the addict gradually before they realise they have a problem. By the time this is addressed, the problem may have grown into a crisis, seemingly impossible to combat. In order for the treatment programme to produce effective results, it contains a series of areas which the addict must address relating to problems of a physical, emotional and psychological nature.

Alcohol Detox: Detoxification is a medically supervised treatment programme for alcohol addiction designed to purge the body of intoxicating substances. It is usually the first step in overcoming addiction and can occur as part of a planned programme of rehabilitation here at PROMIS.

In order to avoid alcohol withdrawal symptoms, benzodiazepines such as diazepam or chlordiazepoxide have to be prescribed. The type, length and medications used for detoxification are prescribed according to the patients individual specific needs.

The PROMIS Rehabilitation Clinic is a large Victorian house with its coach house, set in three acres of grounds with landscaped gardens and trees surrounded by the rolling farmland and woodland of the North Downs of Kent. The setting offers the peace and tranquility in which to effect successful recovery. It has the capacity to house 43 patients on an in-patient basis, we also have several halfway houses in the nearby village for day/out patient care so the patient can start to adjust to everyday living.

One-to-One Counselling: A range of therapists can be seen to address a range of issues. Although it is common for a patient to work with one main therapist, it is also possible to draw in other specialist help from the wide range of professionals working either for or in association with PROMIS. These sessions can be arranged at times that fit in with the busy lives our patients lead.

Group Therapy: Patients share experiences with other group members alongside highly trained PROMIS counsellors. This therapy leads to an understanding of the common thoughts, feelings and actions that lead to addictive and compulsive behaviour.

Psychodrama: In psychodrama, PROMIS provides a reassuring, understanding and innovative approach to treatment, in which patients re-enact traumatic or confrontational episodes in their lives or prepare themselves for future challenges - real or imagined. Psychodrama provides an added stimulus to the recovery process.
