The Rehab Treatment Process at Providence Projects: Detox, Rehab and Aftercare
at Providence Projects
Addiction can tear through lives, leaving you and your loved ones struggling in its wake. But with professional treatment, you have the chance to stop the cycle and head towards healing.
The need for addiction treatment
When you have lost control of your excessive drinking or uncontrollable drug use, are sedating yourself to get through the day, lying to loved ones or experiencing health problems, you should seriously consider professional addiction treatment.
Trying to stop on your own often ends the same way, with cravings taking over, withdrawal hitting harder than you can manage, and the cycle starting again. Even if you manage a short break, the stresses and unresolved issues that fuelled your addiction usually creep back in, pulling you toward relapse.
That is why professional addiction treatment is so important. Detox deals with the physical pull, therapy works on the emotional and mental patterns underneath, and relapse prevention keeps you safe when life gets tough again. Without all three, all the progress you have made can unravel, leaving you back at square one.
Step 1: Detox
Alcohol and drug detoxification is the critical initial phase in overcoming substance dependence. This process involves eliminating alcohol and drugs from your body, allowing it to begin healing. A successful detox serves as the foundation for recovery. Without detox, physical dependence on alcohol and drugs can persist, hindering the recovery process and making it challenging to achieve lasting sobriety.
When you arrive at Providence, you will have an initial medical assessment with one of our doctors. This will focus on your usage history and health status to ensure an appropriate detox regimen is drawn up. Under professional supervision, withdrawal symptoms can then be carefully managed to help you stabilise and prepare you for the subsequent stages of your recovery journey.
Depending on the substance you have been using and how you react to withdrawal, the detox timeline can vary a lot. During this time, you may receive some medication to help with withdrawal symptoms, but this is decided on a case-by-case basis. You will also begin a light therapeutic programme to start building the skills to help you maintain your recovery.
What to expect during detox?
While detox is an unavoidable first step, it is also when your body and mind are put under the most pressure. As substances leave your system, withdrawal symptoms kick in. These can be mild, like mood swings or poor sleep or much harder to handle, like shaking, nausea, sweats, depression or seizures. The experience depends heavily on what substances you have been using, how much and your general health.
Every detox timeline is also different. With short-acting substances like cocaine or alcohol, withdrawal often starts within hours and peaks within a few days. With longer-acting ones like prescription benzos, it can take days to start and weeks to fully settle. The first stretch is usually the toughest, as it is when cravings are strongest and sleep is most disrupted.
After this, things gradually ease, but it is not unusual for emotional issues or fatigue to crop up weeks later. This can be disconcerting, but you will have ongoing support from our team to help you push through it safely and as comfortably as possible.
For some people, alcohol detox can also bring on more serious symptoms such as seizures or delirium tremens (DTs), but these are rare and can be safely managed by our doctors.

Step 2: Rehab treatment
Detox is just the beginning of recovery at the Providence Projects because treating the physical dependence will not address the psychological nature of addiction. That is why after completing detox, you will begin a programme of rehab to address the reasons for compulsive behaviours.
In our inpatient rehab centre, you will live alongside others who are also working on their recovery. This shared experience creates a sense of community while also giving you the breathing space to focus on yourself without outside distractions.
During your stay, you will take part in therapies and workshops that teach practical strategies for handling cravings, emotions and everyday challenges. The goal is to leave rehab not just drug- or alcohol-free but with a stronger outlook on life and the confidence to stay in recovery long term.
By addressing the emotional and behavioural triggers behind your drinking, you can then start planning (and living!) your new life without alcohol. Rehab for alcohol addiction will also help you improve your relationships and prepare yourself for any triggers that hit you unexpectedly.
Some of the core approaches you will experience include:
Each of these plays a unique role in helping you understand yourself, rebuild confidence and develop tools to stay well long after rehab.
Addiction treatment at the Providence Projects
The Providence Projects provides effective treatment for all kinds of addictions. Every programme combines safe detox (where needed), a range of therapies and relapse prevention planning to give you the best chance at lasting recovery.
Our treatment pathway includes:
1. Primary treatment
These initial weeks are spent stabilising both body and mind. Alongside medical detox (where needed), you will begin core therapies and structured workshops designed to give you the foundations of recovery.
2. Secondary treatment
In secondary treatment, everything shifts from short-term stabilisation to long-term preparation. You will explore past experiences, work through triggers and practise living without substances or addictive behaviours. It’s also the stage where your confidence really starts to grow as you go from feeling like a newcomer in recovery to actively shaping your new future.
If you feel you need additional support after completing the initial stages, we also provide sober living as an extended option.
Our substance treatment programmes include the following;
Alcohol Rehab Programme
Alcohol addiction can creep up slowly or hit suddenly, but either way, it can take an incredibly heavy toll. Our alcohol rehab programme helps you detox safely and then rebuild confidence, stability and purpose through therapy and aftercare.
Drugs Rehab Programmes
From cocaine to cannabis, meth to heroin, every drug brings its own challenges. Our drug addiction treatment addresses both the physical dependence and the underlying emotional and social drivers of drug use.
Prescription Drugs Rehab Programmes
Dependence on prescription medication can be just as destructive as street drugs. We offer specialist support for people struggling with prescription drugs like opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, antidepressants, sleeping pills and more, combining safe medical detox with effective therapy.
Legal high Rehab Programmes
Legal highs such as Spice, mephedrone and benzo fury can cause serious mental health problems and dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Our legal high treatment helps you break free safely while therapy tackles the psychological pull and relapse risks.
Behavioural Rehab Programmes
Addiction isn’t always about substances. Behaviours such as gambling, gaming, sex, shopping or internet use can become compulsive and damaging. Our behavioural rehab programmes focus on breaking destructive cycles, addressing the underlying emotional drivers, and building healthier coping mechanisms. Through therapy, support groups and relapse-prevention strategies, we help you regain control and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Michael Drake
I’ve been a client at Providence for over six months, experiencing a full spectrum of emotions, but the prevailing feeling has been a profound sense of connection and belonging. The atmosphere is one of love, unity, and genuine friendship. Regardless of which counselor you’re assigned to, all the staff are approachable and offer invaluable advice. Their unwavering knowledge and caring nature have genuinely saved my life. The entire Providence team, including clerical and support staff, has given me the strength and enthusiasm to apply what I’ve learned. As I leave, I’ll carry Providence in my heart and prayers forever. Thank you.
Kelly Cooper
Providence has saved my life. When I arrived, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally drained; without this rehab, I’d be dead. They helped me rebuild my confidence and discover my true self. The counselors, especially Dougie, were incredibly understanding and crucial to my progress. After 12 weeks and now in aftercare, I finally know what I want for the first time in 24 years and am confident I’ll achieve my dreams. I highly recommend Providence to anyone seeking to overcome addiction. Even in aftercare, I miss Provi already and am deeply grateful. Thank you.
Sarah Carter
I can’t thank The Providence Project and its amazing team enough. What was supposed to be a four-week stay turned into six months because it was life-changing. As a single mother, leaving my daughter was hard, but it was worth it. The program helped me overcome my addiction to sleeping tablets and taught me valuable life skills, making me a better mother and person. This place gave me my life back and my daughter “a better mummy.” To any mother worried about treatment due to separation, it’s worth it—the benefits are priceless. Going to The Providence Project was the best decision I’ve made, and I’m forever grateful. Sarah x

The Providence Projects is a special place that saved my life when I had nothing left to give. The counselors are amazing, genuinely caring, and encourage you to be yourself in a supportive environment. They provide a deep understanding of addiction and the tools to prevent relapses. Since leaving The Prov, I am proud to live my life as a recovering addict. I will recommend The Providence Projects to anyone in need, as the possibilities it offers are endless.
Daniel Jordan
I arrived at the Provy lost and broken after years of addiction and failed treatments, but something felt different here. From reception to support staff, everyone made me feel loved until I could love myself. For the first time, I received the help, knowledge, and tools I needed for lasting recovery. The unique approach, the supportive groups, and the house where I lived were crucial to my healing. Near death at the end of my addiction, I owe my life to Providence and my counselor, Clinton. Nearly two years clean and sober, I’m proud to be part of the Provy family, where the door is always open and the support is unwavering.
Richard Shottin
Providence has changed my life completely. From living a life with no hope, this place has taught my how to live again. The group therapy and 1-1 counselling really helped me to discover who I am and what I want from life, free from drugs and alcohol. The staff are excellent and I know I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. I’d recommend Providence to anyone who needs help. Give it a go and you won’t regret it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to detox at home?
Detoxing at home can feel like the easiest option, but it’s often also the riskiest. Withdrawal symptoms can be unpredictable and vary depending on the substance. Some can trigger dangerous seizures or heart issues, while others can cause acute mental health emergencies. On top of that, cravings can be overwhelming when you’re alone, making relapse far more likely. A monitored detox makes the process much safer and more manageable than trying to do it by yourself.
Is addiction treatment confidential?
Yes, addiction treatment is completely confidential. At Providence Projects, your privacy is always protected. No one outside of your care team will be told about your treatment, and even family and friends will only be involved if you give permission. This confidentiality gives you the freedom to be fully open in therapy and focus on your recovery without worry.
Can family members be involved in my rehab process?
Absolutely. Addiction doesn’t just affect the person struggling but also impacts families and relationships. That’s why family involvement is an important part of our rehab programmes. Through family therapy sessions, loved ones can better understand addiction, learn how to support recovery in healthy ways and begin repairing trust where it’s been damaged. For many people, family support makes a huge difference in staying strong after rehab and achieving long-term recovery.
