Most of our alcohol treatment programmes require you to attend the clinic two or three times during the first week and then you can continue with face to face or online sessions less frequently depending on your treatment and needs. This is mainly due to COVID risk management.
No, you don’t. Most of our programmes are based on one-to-one and family sessions. Patients can attend AA meetings but only if they want to. We also have a volunteer peer mentor at our clinic who can provide one-to-one spiritual support.

Please contact us for further details.
