Rehab Treatment | Addiction Treatment at Recovery Lighthouse

When addiction begins to take hold, it rarely happens all at once, developing gradually, weaving itself into your routines and emotions until life begins to feel unfamiliar. Rehab treatment is the point where that cycle slows down and, with the right help, begins to reverse. It gives you space to pause, to breathe and to recover both physically and emotionally from the strain addiction has created.

What is rehab treatment?

The word “rehab” simply means rehabilitation, a process that restores strength and stability. At Recovery Lighthouse, we see rehab treatment as a safe environment designed to remove external pressures so you can focus completely on healing. Within that calm, structured setting, you can start to rebuild confidence, rediscover who you are beneath the addiction and begin shaping a healthier future.

What types of rehab treatments are available at Recovery Lighthouse?

Addiction takes many forms, which is why our programmes are flexible and varied. Each one blends physical recovery with emotional support, ensuring that you’re treated as a whole person rather than a single problem to be solved.

Alcohol rehab
Alcohol addiction affects both body and mind, which is why alcohol addiction treatment begins with a safe, supported detox and then moves into therapy. This combination helps you stabilise physically before exploring the emotional reasons alcohol became such a strong presence in your life.
Drug rehab
Substances such as heroin, cocaine or meth can create deep dependence. Our drug rehab programmes provide medical detox where needed and use therapy to rebuild emotional resilience. The aim is to replace destructive patterns with healthier ways of coping and connecting.
Prescription drug rehab
Dependence on medications like diazepam, tramadol or painkillers can develop slowly, often without realising it. Our prescription drug rehab treatment helps you taper safely, understand how reliance began and find new ways to manage pain or anxiety without medication.
Legal high rehab
Synthetic substances such as Spice, GHB and mephedrone can be unpredictable. Our flexible legal high rehab plans adapt to how your body responds each day, keeping withdrawal symptoms manageable while helping you make sense of the psychological side of recovery.
Behavioural rehab
Addiction doesn’t always involve substances. Gambling, gaming, sex and food addictions can be equally disruptive, and for these, therapy takes centre stage. Behavioural rehab helps you recognise triggers, develop emotional awareness and build stability through structured routines.

Each treatment path connects smoothly to the next, ensuring that you’re guided forward without losing the sense of continuity and care that recovery requires.

When is it time to consider rehab treatment?

Knowing when to reach out for help is often the hardest part, as addiction can disguise itself, making you believe things are under control even when they’re not. The truth is that there’s no perfect moment to begin rehab treatment; there’s only the moment you decide to start taking care of yourself.

If you’ve noticed your use or behaviour shaping your days more than you’d like or if attempts to stop keep falling short, it may be time to explore professional support. These moments of awareness are significant because they show that the part of you that wants change is already active.

Perhaps you’ve begun hiding your use, or you feel anxious when you can’t access a substance or behaviour. Maybe relationships, work or sleep have started to suffer. Recognising these shifts doesn’t mean you’ve failed; it means you’re ready to take back control.

At Recovery Lighthouse, we guide you through that recognition gently, helping you see the patterns at play and what kind of treatment will make the biggest difference.

How are rehab treatment programmes structured at Recovery Lighthouse?

Rehab isn’t a single step; it’s a series of stages that build upon one another. Each stage prepares you for the next, ensuring progress feels steady and supported rather than rushed or uncertain.

Assessment
Before treatment begins, we take time to learn about the real you: your background, health, history and goals. This understanding forms the basis of your personalised care plan.
Detox (if required)
When physical dependence is present, detox comes first. This stage is carefully monitored by medical professionals who help reduce withdrawal symptoms safely while keeping you comfortable.
Therapy
Once the body stabilises, attention turns to the mind and emotional wellbeing. You’ll participate in individual counselling, group sessions and therapies such as CBT and DBT. We also include holistic activities like yoga and art therapy to promote relaxation and emotional balance.
Option Secndary Rehab Programme
With Recovery Lighthouse and UKAT, you have the option to extend your stay until you feel ready to leave rehab with our secondary programme options.
Aftercare
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. Our aftercare services keep you connected, offering ongoing therapy, relapse prevention and community support to help you stay steady once you return home.

Each of these stages is linked by continuity and compassion, ensuring that you always know what’s happening and never feel alone in the process.

Rehab treatment - art therapy

Why therapy is central to recovery

While detox helps your body heal, therapy helps your mind rebuild. Addiction often masks deeper struggles, like stress, trauma, mental health issues or emotional pain, that must be understood before true recovery can begin. Therapy gives you the tools to uncover and manage those roots safely.

At Recovery Lighthouse, we offer a range of approaches so your experience feels complete. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps you challenge unhelpful thoughts, while dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) supports emotional regulation and relationship repair. One-to-one counselling provides time for personal reflection, and group therapy encourages connection with others who understand what you’re facing. Holistic practices such as mindfulness, yoga and art therapy bring calm and help restore a sense of inner peace.

Therapy connects every part of your journey. It bridges detox with long-term recovery and provides the coping mechanisms that continue supporting you well after treatment ends.
