The OAD Clinic
Stop Drinking Programme
Our alcohol treatment programme aims to support patients who suffer from alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction. The programme is designed for patients with work obligations and family responsibilities and those who are unable to commit to residential treatment. It's a 20-hour programme delivered by experienced clinicians and therapists.
The Stop Drinking Programme can be delivered in person and online, providing the opportunity to access treatment while still living in the community and engaging in day-to-day life.
It's structured to enable little or no interference with work, study or family life in that most sessions are delivered at convenient times. The psychosocial interventions include didactic elements (psycho-educational workshops, relapse prevention skills training, etc), family, couple therapy and individual therapy sessions to guide them through the programme and ensure that their therapeutic objectives are met.
Also included in our alcohol treatment programme are couple, family or employer sessions when required.
