A high quality alcohol addiction treatment centre in Altrincham

Alcohol addiction, also known as ‘alcoholism’ or ‘alcohol use disorder’, is a condition that is characterised by an individual consuming alcohol in an excessive and repeated manner, to the extent that they become dependent on alcohol in order to function effectively in their day-to-day lives. Without expert alcohol addiction treatment and rehab, alcohol addiction can cause a wide variety of long-term physical and psychological problems and can even be fatal.

Our highly skilled treatment team, many of whom are published experts in the field of addiction, possess extensive clinical experience and a broad knowledge base in the treatment of alcohol addiction. All treatment is personalised depending on the unique needs of each and every one of our patients, as well as being developed in close collaboration with the people in our care.

Whilst alcohol addiction rehab at Altrincham is predominantly led by our specialist team of consultants and therapists, we also provide valuable input to the Addiction Treatment Programme from our dedicated network of peer supporters. Our peer supporters are former addiction patients who have chosen to return to Altrincham to offer strength and hope to current patients. Our peer supporters are an inspiration to our patients, who can see first-hand the positive outcomes that can be achieved.
