Rehab treatments

We offer a variety of therapeutic treatments, combining traditional and holistic therapies that address the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects of addiction. Our goal is to provide healing and support throughout your recovery.

Our 90-day promise

At Recovery Lighthouse, we recommend our 90-day treatment option for individuals seeking comprehensive and lasting results. Our most extended programme offers an extensive three-month journey towards recovery, providing essential elements such as medical detox, holistic group therapies like Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), meditation, recovery workshops, and one-on-one sessions with a therapist. Furthermore, you will receive guidance through the 12-step literature, with sufficient time to complete three to four steps in the supportive environment of our rehab.

We understand that transitioning back to everyday life can present challenges even with these tools. That’s why, if you successfully complete our 90-day inpatient treatment programme but encounter a relapse within 30 days of leaving, we promise to welcome you back for a complimentary 28-day treatment to help you get back on track towards lasting recovery.

Frequently asked questions about Recovery Lighthouse

Are there any free rehab alternatives I could use?

Yes, free rehab options are available through the NHS and various charities. The NHS offers outpatient therapy, support groups, and sometimes residential rehab, though waiting lists can be long. Charities like Turning Point, Change Grow Live (CGL), and The Salvation Army also provide addiction services, including some residential programmes. Support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and SMART Recovery are peer-led and completely free. However, free options often come with limitations, such as fewer resources or delays in accessing care.

Can I detox myself at home before going into rehab?

Detoxing at home is not recommended, especially for substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids, as withdrawal can lead to severe or life-threatening symptoms. A medically monitored detox provides safety, as healthcare professionals can monitor your condition and manage withdrawal symptoms with medication if needed. Detoxing in a professional setting also ensures you have the emotional support required during this challenging recovery phase.

What if I get caught with alcohol or drugs whilst at the rehab?

Rehabs have strict policies to maintain a safe and supportive environment. If you’re caught with alcohol or drugs, the substances will be confiscated, and staff will address the situation with you to understand what happened. Depending on the situation, consequences may include closer supervision, adjustments to your treatment plan, or even discharge in severe cases. If you’re struggling with cravings, it’s always best to communicate with staff, who can provide support and guidance.
