Alcohol, Drugs, Addictions & Dependence Treatment

About us:

An estimated 2 million people in the UK have an addiction and making the decision to seek treatment can be one of the hardest decisions a person has to make. The Cardinal Clinic offers a wide range of support and treatments for both substance and behavioural addictions and are tailored to individual needs.

Treatment for most addictions are normally provided on an inpatient basis, however, some patients can benefit from day treatments instead of being an inpatient. This can be for a number of reasons including personal commitments and lifestyles

Many addictions programme start with a detox period which usually lasts between 7-10 days. This is carried out under the medical supervision of a Consultant Psychiatrist and fully trained nursing staff, medication is often prescribed to ease the symptoms of withdrawal. After the detox period the patient will then be assessed again to look at the underlying reasons for the addiction and how to address these reasons.
