A high quality alcohol addiction treatment centre in Southampton

Alcohol addiction, also known as ‘alcohol use disorder’ or ‘alcoholism’, is characterised by an individual consuming alcohol excessively and repeatedly, until they develop a physical and psychological dependence on it and find that they are unable to function effectively unless they have had a drink. Without professional, evidence-based treatment, your alcohol addiction is unlikely to get better on its own, and can result in a whole host of devastating long-term problems.

Alcohol addiction treatment in Southampton, at The Manor Clinic, is underpinned by best practice guidelines and is guided by the latest thinking in the field of addiction rehab. Our intensive alcohol addiction treatment programme consists of:

Our team, consisting of addiction psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, nurses and other addiction treatment specialists, have extensive clinical experience in delivering alcohol addiction treatment and rehabilitation. All treatment is developed in partnership with our patients and we ensure that you are placed at the centre of your treatment and rehab journey, in order to promote positive individual outcomes and a sustainable recovery.

As well as receiving treatment from our skilled specialists, patients at The Manor Clinic will also benefit from peer supporter input during the alcohol addiction treatment process. Our peer supporters are ex-patients who have been through addiction treatment themselves and are now in recovery. These individuals choose to return to The Manor Clinic and take part in addiction therapy alongside current patients, in order to offer them strength, hope and inspiration.
