Treatment for tramadol addiction
Tramadol addiction is a serious condition but with the right support, it can be treated and it’s possible to make a full recovery.
At Priory, we offer evidence-based treatment tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Depending on your needs, our addiction treatment services could include a medically supported detox, therapy, residential stays and relapse prevention support.
Medically supported detox
With the support of highly qualified clinicians, medical detox helps you to come off tramadol safely.
Withdrawal symptoms are managed in a comfortable environment and often with the help of evidence-based medication.
Psychological therapies
Therapy is fundamental to recovery as it gives you the chance to understand what drives your addiction and build healthier ways of coping. You learn strategies to stay on track and reduce the risk of relapse so that your progress lasts well into the future.
At Priory, we offer a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT): helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours around tramadol and build healthier coping mechanisms.
- Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT): teaches you skills for managing intense emotions, stress, and urges. It’s especially helpful for those with underlying mental health conditions.
- Trauma-informed therapy: explores how past experiences/trauma may be contributing to addiction.
- One-to-one therapy: a confidential, supportive space to causes of addiction and create a personalised plan.
- Group therapy: offers a space to connect with other in recovery. You learn and practise skills and share insights together, giving you a sense of community and empowerment.
Relapse prevention
Relapse is a common part of recovery from any drug addiction.
To reduce the risk of relapse, you’ll work with therapists to identify your personal triggers and create strategies for cravings, stress, and emotional setbacks.
This can include grounding techniques, thought-reframing, urge-surfing, and a written relapse recovery plan or toolkit you can use in your daily life.
Peer support
Many people benefit from taking part in 12-step programmes (such as Narcotics Anonymous), SMART Recovery, or in-house groups.
Peer communities offer accountability, shared experience and encouragement, and knowing you’re not alone can be invaluable to your recovery.
Aftercare and ongoing support
Addiction recovery is a lifelong process so it’s crucial that you receive ongoing support after the initial treatment is completed. That’s why at Priory, we offer 12 months of free aftercare, which may include weekly groups, alumni events, one-to-one sessions, and relapse-prevention refreshers. Digital options are also available at some locations.
If you’re ready to make the first step in your recovery, Priory offers a free confidential addiction assessment to match you with the right level of support.
