Understanding Addiction

Addiction is a chronic disorder characterised by the compulsive use of substances or engagement in behaviours despite harmful consequences. It requires treatment to overcome and manage the intense cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and a loss of control over use or behaviour.

Living with addiction can be an overwhelming and isolating experience, affecting every aspect of a person’s life, including their health, relationships, and daily functioning making people feel trapped and powerless. There are different types of addictions, each with its own treatment approach.

Types of Addiction we help with

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addiction is a chronic disease characterised by the inability to control drinking, even when it harms your life.

We recognise that alcohol addiction can create a tough cycle that affects your relationships, health, job and overall quality of life. However, recovery is possible for everyone.

Our alcohol rehab Dorset treatment program tackles both the physical and mental sides of addiction, offering a comprehensive approach that equips you with the tools needed to lead a life free from addiction. Our experienced team of medical professionals and therapists work closely together to design a personalised addiction treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and circumstances.

Drug addiction

Drug addiction is a condition characterised by the compulsive use of substances despite the destructive implications they cause. 

Our personalised treatment plans address both the physical symptoms of withdrawal and the underlying factors contributing to addiction medically supervised detoxification, therapy, and support to empower you to move forward in recovery.

Our experts look closely at the underlying factors and triggers for drug use to equip you with resilient coping mechanisms. 

Gambling addiction

Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling disorder, is a serious condition characterised by an uncontrollable urge to gamble.

It can spiral into financial problems, strained relationships, and a huge sense of hopelessness and shame. 

At Dorset Rehab Centre, our comprehensive treatment approach uses the latest evidence to prevent relapses, igniting strength within you to take back control. Our approach to treating gambling addiction is centred on addressing the underlying issues that fuel the destructive behaviour.
