At Priory Hospital Woodbourne, our addiction treatment specialists recognise that all forms of addiction can have a hugely detrimental impact on your psychological and physical health. We deliver high quality treatment for a wide range of substance and behavioural addictions, including alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, internet, porn and shopping addictions.

Our 28-day residential Addiction Treatment Programme includes:

• Free, no obligation addiction assessment
• 7-10 day medically assisted detoxification for drug and alcohol addictions, if this is required
• 1:1 therapy and group therapy
• Access to local 12-Step support groups
• Free aftercare for 12 months following treatment
• Free family support for 12 months following treatment

All therapy delivered as part of Woodbourne’s Addiction Treatment Programme is consultant-led, with input from our expert team of addiction therapists and support staff. Addiction therapy sessions empower you to explore the underlying causes for your addiction, understand the triggers for your addictive behaviours and learn to manage your cravings and urges. We can also provide support for co-occurring mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, anger management issues and bereavement.
